- Nature of request
- Maud de Wycombe requests a charter of the King's peace for Walter le Vaus of Oxford, clerk, her son, and that he might fulfil the grace he gave him at her suit in the last war in Scotland.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to '? c. 1305' with reference to the names of the justices and to SC 8/148/7371. The petitioner herself, apparently, is granted an oyer et terminer on 20 May 1310, on complaint of imprisonment at Northampton (CPR 1307-13 p.260). There is no record of a William Montryg as Prior of St James' Priory, Northampton: he was probably Prior of the Cluniac Priory of St Andrew's.
