Date
[1334]
Description
Petitioners
Prior and Brothers of the Hospital of St John the Baptist outside the New Gate of Dublin.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The Prior and Brothers of the Hospital of St John the Baptist request that they be granted the deodands in Ireland on account of the 155 invalids in their care, and their great poverty, particularly after the fire caused by the king's Scottish enemies and the destruction of the granges.
Nature of endorsement
They shall have the deodands for seven years.
Places mentioned
Dublin, [Ireland]
Ireland.
Note
The deodands were granted to the hospital for seven years in 1334 (CPR 1330-4, p.552). Dated on the guard, and by Connolly, to? 1319, with regard to a grant of deodands made in that year. However, that 1319 grant was explicitly for four years (Rot. Canc. Hib., p.27b), whereas the endorsement clearly notes that the present petition resulted in a grant for seven years.
