Addressees

King and lords of parliament.

Nature of request

John de Wyndesore states that a judgment given by the council in the King's fourteenth year found that Robert de Lisle had wrongly expelled him from the manors of Rampton, Cottenham, and Westwick in Cambridgeshire, and the King, on the advice of his council, decreed that he should be restored to them. He sued various writs to Robert and to the Sheriff of Cambridgeshire to have restitution, but in the meantime Richard de Scrop purchased the manors by champerty, in full knowledge of the circumstances, and alienated them to William Scrop his son, so that John can have no execution of his writs. He asks that he might be restored to his manors.
