Petitioners

Andrew de Seynlitz (St Litz).

Name(s)

de Seynlitz (St Litz), Andrew

Addressees

King and council.

Nature of request

Seynlitz requests remedy concerning the manor of Stretton which Simon de St Litz granted to Aumale to hold for his life, so that after his death the manor would revert back to Simon and his heirs, but after Aumale's death, because Simon was dead and his heirs underage, the King seized the manor into his hand where it has remained because neither Seynlitz nor his ancestors have a copy of the said grant. The petitioner has with him the deed confirming the said grant, and the charter of Henry III which confirms the same deed.

Nature of endorsement

Let his charters and muniments be shown in Chancery and justice be done there.

Places mentioned

Stretton, Rutland.

People mentioned

Simon de Seynlitz (St Litz), great-grandfather of the petitioner

William [de Forz], Earl of Aumale

Henry III, King of England.
