Addressees

Archdeacon of Nottingham

Grandison states that he had been granted the church of Llanbadarn Fawr, of which the king was patron. However, this grant appears to have been disrupted by troubles in Wales.

The Justices of Wales are ordered to inform themselves and enquire of the things mentioned and return the results into the Chancery.
Places mentioned
Lampadervau (Llanbadarn Fawr), [Cardiganshire, Wales]
Wales.
People mentioned
Robert de Staundon.
Note
Much of this petition is illegible, but it appears that Grandison's tenure was either disrupted or disputed, and justices were appointed to investigate.John de Grandison (1292-1369) was Archdeacon of Nottingham from 1310 until his appointment as Bishop of Exeter in 1327. Rees, Petitions Relating to Wales, p. 188, states that Staunton was a Justice of North Wales between 1288 and 1295, but either he was later re-appointed or this is another man, since Grandison's grant could not be that early.
