Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Prior and convent of Tickford.
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- The Prior and convent of Tickford state that the chapel of Yardley has always belonged to their church of Aston, until Giles de Erdington presented Ralph de Hyngham by force to this chapel, and they were kept out, firstly by the power of Giles de Erdington and later by that of Ralph de Hyngham when he became Chief Justice. The chapel was then given to the nuns of Catesby, and the nuns presented a relative of Ralph de Hyngham, at a time when the possessions of the Prior and convent were in the King's hand as a result of the discord between the kings of England and France: with the result that they are disinherited and can have no remedy in Chancery. They request a remedy.
- Nature of endorsement
- He is to have a writ in Chancery to claim the advowson of an [illegible] part or a quarter, as the size of the chapel is assessed.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- A note at the start of this file, dated 3 May 1932, states that 'The petitions in this file are copied in R. C. Transcripts I. 156, and appear to form part of an original file of petitions to the parliament of Michaelmas 1320. Cf. Parl. Proc. (Chancery) 5/4'. C 49/5/4 is merely a label, 'The petitions of William de Herlaston from the King's parliament held at Westminster at the octave of Michaelmas in his fourteenth year, which were answered by the auditors of petitions, delivered into Chancery to be expedited': nevertheless, this petition is tentatively dated to 1320, as many of those in the file that can be dated seem to come from that year.Disputes over these rights had endured for over a century (VCH Buckinghamshire), and later stages of this case can be found in CCR 1323-7 pp.232-233 and CPR 1330-4 p.118.
