Date
[c. 1323]
Description
Petitioners
Henry de Lancaster.
Name(s)
de Lancaster, Henry
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Henry de Lancaster asks that the king have recollection of a bill sent to him at the council meeting held at the house of the Friars Minor in York in June 1322, requesting the restoration to him of the castle, town and county of Lancaster, and all the appurtenant forests, parks, etc., which Henry III had granted to his son Edmund, Henry's ancestor. Lancaster encloses a list of these estates.
Nature of endorsement
Coram Rege.
Places mentioned
York
Lancaster, [Lancashire]
Lancashire.
People mentioned
Henry [III], King of England
Edmund [of Lancaster, Earl of Lancaster].
Note
The petition mentions a bill presented to the York Council meeting in June 1322. In May 1323 Lancaster appointed attorneys to prosecute his petitions for the earldoms of Lancaster and Leicester, and it seems likely that this appointment is contemporary with this petition for the Lancaster earldom.
