Reference
SC 8/175/8714
Date
[1319-1320]
Description
Petitioners
Executors of Henry, late bishop of Winchester.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The executors request that the executors of John de Sandale be commanded to account with them and make payment of what they are bound to them in, and the executors grant to the king the moiety of debt, provided that they are well paid of the other money. The king commanded by his letters that none of the goods of Bishop Woodlock were to be sold or alienated until the king had bought what he wanted of them, and then ordered that the goods be delivered to a certain person who delivered them to Sandale so that he could be confirmed as bishop, and Sandale's executors have still not satisfied them.
Nature of endorsement
[None].
People mentioned
Henry [Woodlock], late bishop of Winchester
John de Sandal (Sandale), late bishop of Winchester.
Note
The petition refers to the executors of Bishop Sandale, and as it seems likely that the petition precedes the elevation of Rigaud de Assier to Winchester, the petition dates to 1319-1320.
