Reference
SC 8/174/8693
Date
[? 1299]
Description
Petitioners
Ralph Fitz Bernard, knight.
Name(s)
Fitz Bernard, Ralph
Addressees
King.
Places mentioned
Thundersley, [Essex].
Nature of request
Fitz Bernard requests the king's grace so that he is able to grant his manor of Thundersley, which is held from the king for the extent, to his wife, so that she is able to hold it for the term of her life without disinheriting the king or the right heirs.
Nature of endorsement
Let the inquisition … value of the manor.
Note
The petition is dated to? 1299 based on the inquisition and grant made in June and November 1299 (CIM 1219-1307, no.1787; CPR 1292-1301, p.451). However, whilst the guard note accepts the dating of 1299, the inquisition may not, and the grant certainly does not relate specifically to this petition, so that the date is suspect. However, it is unlikely that the date is too distant from 1299 if 1299 does indeed prove incorrect.
