Date
[c. 1326-c. 1332]
Description
Petitioners
Community of the Isle of Wight.
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
The community of the Isle of Wight ask that there might be a good inquiry into whether it is more to the advantage of the King and community for the staple for Hampshire to be at Winchester or at Southampton, and that the staple might be sited according to the findings of this inquiry.
Nature of endorsement
Coram rege et magno consilio.Because the staple was ordained at Winchester by common counsel, the staple is to remain there.
Places mentioned
Isle of Wight, [Hampshire]
Winchester, Hampshire
Southampton, Hampshire.
Note
Dated on the guard to c. 1326, with reference to CPR 1324-7 p.269, which is dated at Kenilworth, 1 May 1326. CPR 1327-30 pp.98-99 is dated at Nottingham, 1 May 1327. CPR 1330-4 pp.362-3 is dated 16 September 1332. All three establish that there will be a staple at Winchester. The petition would seem to date from around this time, but it is hard to date it precisely within this period.
