Date
[c. 1327]
Description
Petitioners
Robert du Maners.
Name(s)
Maners, Robert
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Maners requests remedy as he and his wife were granted an annuity and robes by Fitz Reginald for their lives for the petitioner's service, for which Fitz Reginald charged the manor of Crookham, and they were seised of it until after the time that the manor came into Edward II's hand when they were ousted because they did not wish to become Despenser's servants.
Nature of endorsement
He should show in Chancery what he has of the annuity and robe, and let faithful people be assigned to enquire of the contents in the petition, and when the inquisition has been returned into Chancery let justice be done.
Places mentioned
Crocham (Crookham), [Northumberland].
People mentioned
John Fitz Reginald
Christiana [du Maners], wife of the petitioner
Hugh le Despenser, the son.
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1327 because the petition refers to Edward I and Edward II as the present king's grandfather and father, and the petition is a complaint about the younger Despenser.
