- [The petition has been completed from the printed text in Rot. Parl.

If the king is not prepared to grant this then he requests that he be allowed to pay the debts in instalments with respite for a year or two. He further requests that the earls of Leicester, Richmond and Arundel, and Despenser be ordered to accept one homage for Kirkby in the fee of Mowbray, as each is demanding homage. He further requests that the justice of the Forest north of the Trent be commanded to deliver his wood of Farndale.]1)
- Nature of endorsement
- Concerning the first point he should come into the Wardrobe and show the manner by which he was retained and how much he received, and if any indenture was made between him and the king, and the king should be certified of this so that he can say his will.2) Concerning the homage, if he is distrained, he should sue against those by whom he is distrained.3) Concerning the last point, he should have a writ to the justice to certify of the reason for the taking of this wood.
