Baldwin de Fryvill (Freville).

de Fryvill (Freville), Baldwin
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Fryvill requests remedy as his father made a fine for an indictment for taking venison in the forest of Feckenham for which he has the king's charter, but despite this the keepers of the forest who then took lands that were Alexander de Freville's into the king's hand where they remain.
Nature of endorsement
Let this petition be sent into Chancery, and the chancellor should inform himself of the reason for the taking of the lands into the king's hand, and he should view the letters patent and call to him the justices and others of the council and do justice.
