Addressees

King.

Nature of request

The Clyntons request that the king have regard to inspect their charters and releases concerning Barnabe Nangle's grant of the manors of Navan and Ardsallagh which are contrary to an inquisition which saw them disseised of the manors without answer against the statute, and that they be granted that they can hold the manors in their former estate finding sufficient surety if the king wishes. They were disseised because the inquisition found that they had only been granted the same for a term of years, and following the death of William Nangle the same were taken into the king's hand because of the minority of his brother.

Nature of endorsement

The petition is answered that Robert de Clynton have his charters, writings and other evidences which he has concerning this business before the chancellor and others of the council on Wednesday after the feast of the conversion of St Paul, 41 [Edw. III], to receive justice. At the day he appeared and declared that he did not have any of the evidences and withdrew.
