Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Richard Dautre.
- Name(s)
- Dautre, Richard
- Addressees
- Council.
- Nature of request
- Dautre requests that a remedy be ordained for him as he was seised of several manors in Yorkshire but was disseised by Caterton and Thomas Dautre. He brought an assize against them in 48 Edward III, but they gave the tenements to Lord Neville to maintain the plea against Dautre. Because of this maintenance he did not dare to pursue his right, and no one would come from the country to York to give their verdict. This is against the statute of champerty.
- Nature of endorsement
- He should sue by writ concerning the statute, and concerning the free tenement he should sue at the common law.
- Places mentioned
- Elslack, [North Riding of Yorkshire]
- Rimington, [West Riding of Yorkshire]
- Bugthorpe, [East Riding of Yorkshire]
- York.
- People mentioned
- John de Catherton (Catterton)
- Thomas Dautre

- Ranlyn de Stoke.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is likely to date to c. 1372 as the king ordered the commitment of land in Elslack and Bugthorpe to Richard Dautre and land in Rimington to Thomas Dautre on 8 May 1372 (CFR 1369-77, pp.167-8). It is not clear whether this was action on the part of the king to resolve the dispute, but as no mention is made of the role of Neville here, the commitment may be a little distant from the petition.
