Reference
SC 8/182/9080
Date
[c. 1318-c. 1325]

de Redynges (Reading), Richard
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The petitioner requests that the king grant him a corrody, on account of his service in Scotland for over twenty years in the company of Ebulo de Muntz.
Nature of endorsement
William de Eyrmyne.This petition has been heard by the will of the king, and I ask that letters be made as requested, and others have been sent to the same house, but they have excused themselves due to the poverty of the times.

Quarr, [Hampshire].
People mentioned
Ebulo de Muntz (Montibus)
William de Eyrmyne (Airmyn).
Note
This petition is barely legible, but the details can be understood with reference to SC 8/319/E371, a similar petition from Redynges. He was granted a corrody at Revesby Abbey on 24 October 1319, and Revesby was again ordered to admit him on 20 June 1322, after the abbot had refused due to their poverty. Although these circumstances would appear to fit the endorsement here, this petition would seem to request a grant at Quarr Abbey, not Revesby (although the name is indistinct). Similarly, SC 8/319/E371 clearly requests the execution of an earlier grant at Durham Priory, suggesting that Redynges was having considerable trouble securing any aid, and may have been moving regularly. The petition has been dated to the period 1318-25, as the petitioner claims to have served in Scotland for 22 years (Edward I's first campaign took place in 1296), while the mention of Airmyn would probably date it no later than 1325.
