SC 8/123/6125
Date
[c. 1289]
Description
Petitioners
Richard de Loveny.
Name(s)
de Loveny, Richard
Addressees
[None specified]
Nature of request
Richard de Loveny, the king's tenant in Queen Camel, complains that Ralph and John, members of the household of the chancellor, had entered his lands, stole his corn and assaulted him, because he had informed the king and his council when they last returned from Gascony that Ralph ought to be in the wardship of the king for his manor of Tangley.
Nature of endorsement
In Chancery.It shall be done, and he shall have a writ of trespass to the sheriff of Somerset.
Places mentioned
Cammel (Queen Camel), [Somerset]
Cruket (Cricket St Thomas), [Somerset]
Tangley, [Hampshire]
Somerset
Gascony, [France].
People mentioned
Ralph Wake
John, parson of Cricket St Thomas
Chancellor of England.
Note
The petitioner states that the attack took place on the Friday next after the feast of the Nativity of our Lady in the king's seventeenth year. The handwriting would appear to date the document to Edward I's reign, and hence the attack would have taken place on 9 September 1289, with the petition presumably being submitted once the victim had sufficiently recovered. An inserted contemporary note is just visible at the top of the document, but is no longer legible; this may be an address, or possibly just a heading.
