- Nature of request
- [This document is badly stained, faded and damaged in places, and large sections are now illegible.]The petitioners seek remedy regarding a court case between them and John and Hawise de Bures, seemingly over the manor of Alvescot. Following a writ of cosinage, Hawise appeared and showed the charter of the gift of various manors and lands in England to her father, Robert de Musgros, by Thomas de Clare, in exchange for certain lands in Ireland (transcribed). Further details of the case follow, taken from the plea roll, and another, fuller copy of the royal charter relating to the agreement between Clare and Musgros (witnesses named).

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition clearly dates to the reign of Edward II, since the charter transcribed in the lower portion of the document, referred to earlier as having been made by the king's father, is dated 13 May 1276. The legal proceedings are taken from the roll for Hilary term in what appears to be the king's fourteenth year (the number is damaged, and may possibly be fifteenth), and since this is also presumably Edward II, this would seem to date the petition to the period around 1321. Unfortunately large sections of the petition are now partially or totally illegible.
