Petitioners

Roger de Mortymer (Mortimer).

Name(s)

de Mortymer (Mortimer), Roger

Addressees

King and Council.

Nature of request

Roger de Mortimer complains that lands held in serjeanty appurtenant to the manor of Marden have been seized by the escheator, because they were alienated by certain tenants without the king's permission while Roger was on the king's service in Gascony and the manor was in the hands of Maud de Mortimer. Walter of Monmmouth held three acres of this land, and thus when he died the body and wardship of the heir was also taken into the king's hands. Roger therefore requests remedy, stating that he should hold the manor on the same terms as Edmund of Lancaster, to whom the manor had previously been granted by Henry III.

Nature of endorsement

Have a writ of Chancery to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer that they should call the parties before them and do justice.
