Reference
SC 8/112/5599
Date
[? c. 1324]
Description
Petitioners
Robert Grym (Grim).
Name(s)
Grym (Grim), Robert
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Grym requests an enquiry and grace and remedy concerning the lands of Isabel Tydd whose heir he is, as others who were not her heirs entered her lands after her death and alienated some of the them to Scaltone which have subsequently forfeited into the king's hand.
Nature of endorsement
He should come into Chancery and show his right and which suit he has made against the others, and let the truth of the matter be enquired of and the king certified.Coram domino rege because it is in the hand of the king.
Places mentioned
Tydd St Mary, [Lincolnshire].
People mentioned
Isabel [Tyd (Tydd)], widow of Adam de Tyd
William de Scaltone.
Note
The petition is dated to? c. 1324 in accordance with the guard note. While this is a speculative dating, it seems likely that the forfeiture referred to in the petition was as a consequence of the revolt of Thomas of Lancaster in 1322, and as the petition is endorsed in French a date after 1322 seems very likely.
