- Nature of request
- The petitioners states that on 12 November in the King's third year [1415], the King granted that in future the lands of the King's tenants in Carmarthenshire in South Wales who died without heirs of their bodies would no longer be seized into his hand as escheats, contrary to the laws of Wales. They ask if this is to extend to lands of the Duchy of Lancaster within Wales, and that this might be made clear and enacted in the present parliament.
- Nature of endorsement
- [On face] The commons have given their assent.[On dorse] It is to be as is desired by this petition.

- Carmarthenshire, Wales
- South Wales
- Duchy of Lancaster.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition is edited in Rot. Parl. vol. IV p.91a (no. 12) among petitions dated to 1415, but as it mentions the grant made on November 12 1415, the last or penultimate day of this parliament, it seems likely that it in fact dates from the parliament of March 1416.
