Date
[? c. 1325]
Description
Petitioners
Roger de Grey.
Name(s)
de Grey, Roger
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Grey requests that the king remove his hand from the tenements that were his father's as he purchased them, his father having a life interest only, and they not being held in chief of the king, as they have been seized into the king's hand. He requests that he may have the issues taken from them in the meantime.
Nature of endorsement
He should go to Chancery and show the parts of the fine and there let justice be done.
People mentioned
John de Grey, father of the petitioner.
Note
The petition is dated on the guard with reference to a close roll entry to c. 1325 (CCR 1323-7, p.393). However, this entry does not seem to relate directly to the petition, so the dating of 1325 must remain speculative.
