- Nature of request
- The petitioners seek a remedy that all the people in the said hundred should not be ruined. They state that in the parliament held at Westminster in the time of King Henry III, by common petition sued there to King Henry and his lords and all the commons then present it was agreed that all the lands and tenements afforested after the coronation of King Henry II until the coronation of King Henry III be removed from forest status, except demesne lands that belonged to King John and King Richard, and upon this a statute was made, and then commissions were issued one to John Berewyk and his fellows, to make perambulation. And upon this a charter was granted by King Edward I, that Crondall hundred and all the other lands in Hampshire afforested in the said times be removed from forest status, except for King Henry II's demesne lands, and held as measured until now. William, Bishop of Winchester, claims free warren in the hundred with all the people dwelling therein etc., also the king's tenants as others etc. And various persons are pursued by writ or fine by the bishop to the point of distraint, to the great damage of all the land. Tenants of the king as others will be disinherited if the bishop has his purpose.
