Reference
SC 8/93/4602
Date
[c. 1325]
Description
Petitioners
Master and brethren of the hospital of St John, Bridgwater.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The master and brethren request remedy as the king has granted to de la Sale his sustenance in the house for his life, but they are a poor house and their goods and possessions are insufficient to sustain them.
Nature of endorsement
[None]
Places mentioned
Bridgwater, [Somerset].
People mentioned
William de la Sale
William Boner.
Note
The petition dates to c. 1325 as the order to the master of the hospital to admit de la Sale was issued on 26 May 1325, and it is unlikely that the petition would be too long after that (CCR 1323-7, p.366).
