Description
Petitioners
Thomas Scales, Lord Scales.
Name(s)
Scales; Lord Scales, Thomas

Council.
Places mentioned
France
Normandy, [France].
Nature of request
Lord Scales asks the council to consider his service to the King in France, for which he has had no reward except £100 annually on the Exchequer, which is not always well paid, and which is likely to be taken from him by the current act of resumption, unless he has the council's favour.
Nature of endorsement
[On face] It is thought by the lords that this should not be agreed to in this way; but that the King should be requested to have him recommended for his good service in France and Normandy.[None on dorse].
