- Nature of request
- John de Wyncestre and Joan his wife state that £104 is demanded from them in the Exchequer as heirs and terre-tenants of John Fitz Thomas, formerly Keeper of the New Forest, for windfallen wood and failure to hamble, although they held no lands or tenements from him nor have any lands or tenements of his come to them after his death. They ask the King and council to order the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer to inquire into this by people of the county of Hampshire, and, if they find that they hold no lands or tenements that belonged to John Fitz Thomas, to discharge them from this demand.
