Name(s)
de Mohaut (Monthaut, Monte Alto), Roger
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Roger de Mohaut, son and heir of Robert de Mohaut, requests remedy on two issues.3) He states that he holds Hawarden and its appurtenances by inheritance from his father, but Reynold de Grey has occupied a great part of the manor, along with assarts held by the people of Aston and elsewhere since the time of his grandfather, Roger.4) He also states that, although the King had commanded that wood be cut from the passes of Swerdwode, the people of the Wirral and Chester have come and cut wood from everywhere, not just in the pass.
Nature of endorsement
This will be answered when it is shown that Roger de Mohaut is of full age.
