Richard le Cok.

Cok, Richard
Addressees
[None specified]
Nature of request
Richard [le Cok] makes a further complaint against the ministers of Otto [de Grandison], requesting the reduction of his farm for a mill, which has wrongfully been denied him by the ministers, despite the repairs he has made to the mill.

People mentioned
Otto [de Grandison].
Note
This is clearly a second request once attached to another petition, and it is clear from comparison that it was cut from the same piece of parchment as the petition at SC 8/90/4489 (the indent along the foot of this petition matches that at the top of that document), another petition on this matter. It was also written by the same scribe as a similar supplementary document at SC 8/90/4488, and the three (and probably others) must have formed a distinct file of requests submitted together and subsequently separated, containing complaints against Grandison's ministers in the Channel Islands. Given the people involved, the reference in the endorsement to the king's first year must refer to 1 Edward II (1307-8), and thus presumably the petition dates from around that time. Although the petitioner's surname is not given here, Richard le Cok was one of the three named petitioners in SC 8/90/4489.
