[c. 1275-c. 1290]
Description
Petitioners
Abbot and convent of St Valery-sur-Somme.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The abbot and convent request that a house [the duplicate, SC 8/285/14220, speaks of several houses] that they bought in Abbeville for their necessity be amortized.
Nature of endorsement
Coram rege.
Places mentioned
St Valery-sur-Somme, [Ponthieu, France]
Abbeville, [Ponthieu, France].
People mentioned

Note
The petition has been dated to 1275-1290 based on the hand. As a fragment of another near identical petition addressed to the queen survives, it seems likely that this petition dates to before the death of Eleanor of Castile.
