Description
Petitioners
John le Somyter (Sumpter)
Name(s)
Somyter (Sumpter), John
Addressees
[Missing]
Nature of request
[The vast majority of this petition is missing. It appears to relate to grievances of Somyter against Scudemore, but too little survives to provide any context.]
Nature of endorsement
Let a writ of trespass be issued in a form containing the effect of this petition, returnable before the king.
People mentioned
Peter de Scudemore
John Ganard
William Portebref
Cecily, wife of [...].
Note
Scudemore was involved in the rebellions of 1322 and pardoned on 30 June 1323 (CPR 1321-4, p.320). The petition may therefore date to the immediate aftermath of that uprising. However, very little of the petition survives.
Held by
The National Archives, Kew
