Petitioners

Ralph de Dacre.

Name(s)

de Dacre, Ralph

Addressees

King and council.

Nature of request

Dacre requests that he be reseised of the peel of High Head, and that he not be disseised without having answered because the king granted it him for ten years, but subsequently granted it to Longleis, and the sheriff of Cumberland delivered it to Longleis despite Dacre having petitioned the Northampton parliament.

Nature of endorsement

Let this petition be sent before the king, and there let the letters be viewed, the parties called and their arguments heard, and let justice be done.

Places mentioned

High Head, [Cumberland]

Westminster

Northampton, [Northamptonshire].

People mentioned

William Longleis.
