Nature of request

Note
Relates to the events surrounding the forfeiture of Bartholomew Badlesmere, and may have been a reaction to the order of 18 March 1324 (CCR 1323-7, p. 75) which granted the wardship to Alice's executors (itself the response to the inquisition (CIM 1307-49, no. 485) prompted by the petition at SC 8/88/4374). The wardship had been seized by the King following Badlesmere's fall, he being another of the executors.
