Henry de Ferrers.

Name(s)

de Ferrers, Henry

Addressees

King and Council.

Nature of request

Henry de Ferrers requests that he be restored to the manors of Princes Risborough and Newport. Edward III granted Princes Risborough to Henry's grandfather, as well as the remainder of Newport, held in dower by Margaret de Clare, and Henry held them until his death. They were then taken into the king's hands during the minority of William, and were granted to Prince Edward. However, they were not returned to William on his majority, despite petitions to Prince Edward, and the petitioner now requests that the king view the records and make restoration.

Nature of endorsement

Let this bill be sent to the chancery, and there call the king's sergeants and others and the records touching this matter, and let right be done by the advice of the great council both for the king and the parties.

Earls Risborough (Princes Risborough), Buckinghamshire
