Nature of request

Three near-identical petitions, from John Wolde, clerk, and John Reche, from William Brynkeley, and from Joan, widow of John Whaplode, all making the same complaint.They state that they were seised of various tenements in London until the King's second year, when they were expelled by John Marchall, Agnes Crosby and Thomas Bradwas, by colour of the King's letters patent granted to them. They have long sued to have a scire facias on this matter, but cannot, as Joan Jordan, formerly possessor of these tenements is claimed to have been a lifelong idiot - although this is not true. They ask the commons to ask the King to order the Chancellor and justices to do to them what the common law demands, as they have been delayed in their suit for a year and a half.

Nature of endorsement

[On face] To be answered.To speak.The lords should speak to the King.[On dorse] This petition is to be sent into the King's Chancery, and the Chancellor will do justice to them concerning the matter contained in it.
