Name(s)

de Holand, John

King.

Nature of request

John de Holand requests the restoration of letters patent granting to him the reversion of the manors, hundreds and other property of Audley and Loryng. The king has lately ordered him to return the letters, of which a copy is attached, and ordered the chancellor to cancel the enrolment in Chancery.[A copy of the original letters patent, dated 18 December 1384 and granting the reversions of these lands to Holand, is attached.]

Nature of endorsement

[on dorse of petition] Because the matter in this petition is notorious, it is agreed in parliament that new letters be issued under the great seal in the same form, date, etc., and the cancellation of the enrolment should be annulled; and let right be done to the petitioner on this matter.[at foot of attached letters] Memorandum that Michael de la Pole, chancellor, on 2 April [1386], brought these letters into Chancery, stating that the king had ordered that they be cancelled, as John de Holand had returned the letters to the Chancery to be annulled. And therefore the letters are cancelled and annulled.
