Reference
SC 8/121/6037
Date
[1433]
Description
Petitioners
Eleanor d'Arundel (Arundel), Berkeley, Lady of Arundel and Mautravers.
Name(s)
d'Arundel (Arundel), Berkeley; Lady of Arundel and Mautravers, Eleanor
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Eleanor requests intervention in her case against Barret. She states that she sued a plea of trespass against Barret, for which he was taken and imprisoned by the sheriff of London. However, Fanhope falsely claimed that Barret was his servant, and succeeded in securing his release, to the great damage of her case. She asks that the king examine the case, and if he should find that Barret was not Fanhope's servant, he should allow the case to go ahead, and punish Fanhope for his false claims.
Nature of endorsement
[None].
People mentioned
Thomas Barret
Thomas Chalton, sheriff of London
John Cornewaille (Cornwall), Lord Fanhope
Note
Dated on the guard to November or December 1433. Thomas Chalton was sheriff of London from Michaelmas 1433 to Michaelmas 1434, and the petition refers to the previous feast of St Katherine (i.e. 25 November 1433), and to the present Parliament. This presumably means that the petition was presented in the final weeks of the 1433 Parliament, which opened on 8 July and was still sitting on 18 December (the next Parliament did not open until 10 October 1435).
