Petitioners

John de Dene.

Name(s)

de Dene, John

Addressees

King and council.

Nature of request

Dene requests that he be restored to the office of weighage (pesage) of wools in Southampton which was granted to him for life for his service, as the earl of March has granted the office to Lesewy without the king's will.

Nature of endorsement

Because it is agreed, if it pleases the king, that the collector of wools be in the estate as it was in the time of the king's grandfather, and that if a commission is made to the contrary, then it should be repealed, but otherwise it should remain until it is otherwise ordained.

Places mentioned

Southampton, [Hampshire].

People mentioned

[Roger Mortimer], earl of March

Roger Lesewy (Lysewy).
