John de Warenne, Earl Warenne.
Name(s)
de Warenne, Earl Warenne, John
Addressees
King.
Places mentioned
Scotland
Nature of request
Earl Warenne requests the King's grace in the matter of certain debts demanded from him from his own time and from the time of his grandfather, in consideration of his service in the last expedition to Scotland, and of the fact that he took nothing from the King on that occasion; and that, if he wishes to ask the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer to inform him about these debts, that he might have respite in the meantime.
Nature of endorsement
[On face] The Treasurer and Barons are to be ordered to inform the King about the debt, and in the meantime are to cease the demands made on the Earl.[None on dorse.].
Note
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.However, there is an order to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer to give the petitioner respite from his debts until Easter in CCR 1330-3 p.343 (8 October 1331).
