Date
[1405]
Description
Petitioners
Thomas Chaundos (Chandos), clerk, formerly parson of Wath.
Name(s)
Chaundos (Chandos), Thomas
Addressees
Council.
Occupation
clerk; parson of Wath
Nature of request
The petitioner asks that writs be sent to Fleming and Toneton under the great seal that they appear before the king on pain of £1000, or that another remedy be found for their wrongful detention and non-payment of a certain annuity by maintenance and menaces contrary to the law. And also to have the authority of the present parliament to execute a statute merchant, and beyond this to compel payment of the annuity in times to come and arrears for times past. He states that Fleming and others are bound by surety for an annuity of ... marks due to the petitioner during his lifetime, and each is bound in a statute merchant of £150. For non-payment the petitioner sought execution of the same statute merchant, and then Fleming (patron of the said church) planned through a conspiracy between himself and Toneton to exclude the petitioner from the annuity, as from the execution of the statute. Toneton made such menaces etc., in this regard that the petitioner was unable to secure the execution of the statute as the law demands. They also laboured the men of the land and officers of the sheriff that none should execute the statute.
Nature of endorsement
Let writs be sent to the sheriff of York [such that] Fleming and Toneton be before king and council at Westminster at the next quindene of Easter to answer to the complaint written within, and that the same council has the authority of parliament to make right according to their discretion.
