Reference
SC 8/123/6128
Date
[c. 1315-c. 1328]
Description
Petitioners
Unspecified female
Addressees
[None specified]
Nature of request
The complainant states that one Thomas Brangwayn, skinner, received some of the King's enemies in his house in the parish of St Martin Outwich, and displayed on a lance a shield bearing the arms of a great Scottish lord, contrary to a proclamation made in the city of London during the Scottish war that no person should assist any Scot, nor provide them with provisions, horses or armour. The complainant swears this to be true by master William de Oteswych, her neighbours and the good people of the ward.
Nature of endorsement
Let certain people be assigned to enquire into the matters contained in the petition.
Places mentioned
Scotland
London
St Martin Outwich parish, London.
People mentioned
Thomas Brangwayn, skinner
William de Oteswych (Outwich).
Note
Dated by Bain to 1346. However, a note on the guard dates it to 1328 or earlier, referring to the will of a Thomas Brangwayn of London made in that year (Calendar of wills proved and enrolled in the Court of Husting, I, p.340). As that Thomas Brangwayn left a tenement in St Martin Outwich to two under-age daughters (i.e. seems to have had no son), this must be the man mentioned here, as the handwriting would suggest a date no earlier than the middle of Edward II's reign. A date in the period c.1315-c.1328 has thus been suggested.
