Description
Petitioners
William Brunyng, valet.
Name(s)
Brunyng, William
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Brunyng requests that he be pardoned the abjuration that he made for the death of Maddock, as he killed him in self-defence as was found by an ex officio inquisition taken by Segrave, which inquisition he has with him under Segrave's seal.
Nature of endorsement
The abjuration and the king's suit for the death are to be pardoned, provided he stands trial if required; and he is to have a writ to the chamberlain of Scotland on this.
Places mentioned
Gascony, [France]
Wales
Scotland
Berwick-upon-Tweed, [Northumberland].
People mentioned

John de Segrave, coroner.
Note
The petition is clearly one of those petitions belonging to the parliaments of 1305 which Maitland did not publish in Memoranda de Parliamento. The Latin summary of the petition found on m.13 of SC 9/12 has been dated to the autumn parliament of 1305 (PROME, Roll 12, Introduction).
