Margaret de Mounpellers, widow and executor of Richard de Mounpellers.
Name(s)
de Mounpellers, Margaret
Addressees
King and Council.
Nature of request
Margaret, wife and executor of Richard de Mounpellers, requests that she be granted part of the debt of £158 15s 5d which the King's father owed to her husband for various spices bought from him, as appears by a bill of the King's wardrobe, and she will pardon the rest of the debt in order to receive the remainder.
Nature of endorsement
Let the Treasurer and Barons be ordered to view the bills, and if they find that the King should be served let the King be certified.Coram Rege.
People mentioned
Richard de Mounpellers, late husband of the petitioner.
Note
Clearly dates to the beginning of a reign, and given the handwriting, the French endorsement and the reference to the king's father, the early years of Edward III appear most likely.
