Reference
SC 8/123/6143
Date
[? 1319]
Description
Petitioners
Henry de Lancaster.
Name(s)
de Lancaster, Henry
Addressees
King and Council.
Nature of request
Henry de Lancaster requests the return of 12 acres of pasture, part of his manor of Rodley, which have been wrongfully seized into the king's hands. He states that Haidon, then constable of St Briavels, had taken the pasture into the king's hands, claiming that it was part of the Forest of Dean. However, at the parliament held in the king's eighth year, Monthermer was ordered to enquire into this matter, and this has found that the land does indeed appertain to Rodley.
Nature of endorsement
William de Ayrmin should bring the inquisitions before the council.
Places mentioned
Rodley, Gloucestershire
St Briavels, Gloucestershire
Forest of Dean, [Gloucestershire].
People mentioned
Richard de Haidon, constable of St Briavels
Ralph de Monthermer, warden of the forests.
Note
A note on the guard dates this petition to 1319, with reference to Cole, Docs. Illustrative of English History, p.54, which records a note on the parliament roll for 1319 referring to two petitions of Henry de Lancaster being delivered to William de Ayrmin. It suggests that these petitions are the present petition and SC 8/56/2769, and the endorsements to both would seem to agree with this suggestion.
