Reference
SC 8/99/4938
Date
[1319]
Description
Petitioners
John de Claveryng (Clavering).
Name(s)
de Claveryng (Clavering), John
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
John de Claveryng states that when he impleaded Aymer de Valence concerning lands in Filby and Postwick, Aymer said that he could not answer without the King, producing a charter which attested that Henry III gave these lands to William de Valence and Joan his wife and the heirs of their bodies, and that they came into the King's hand as an escheat. John sued a writ to the Treasurer and Chamberlains to search the rolls of the Exchequer for evidence as to how the lands came into the King's hand, but they replied that as the writ did not specify a date or before which justices, they did not know which records to search. John requests a remedy, that the writs might be emended so that the rolls and remembrances of Henry III can more fully be searched, and that the justices might be informed, so that they might more fully have a warrant to do justice to the parties.
Nature of endorsement
The writs are to be corrected as is requested, and a sicut alias is to be sent, and they are to inform the justices etc. And the rolls of the forty-eighth year of the reign of King Henry, grandfather of the present king, and since, from the time of the same king, are to be examined.
Places mentioned
Filby, [Norfolk]
Postwick, [Norfolk].
People mentioned
Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke
