Nature of request
The petitioners request that the king summon before him in the present parliament the process of a judgment made regarding lands enfeoffed to them by the late Earl of Pembroke, so that they can show the errors and the king can annul the verdict. They state that the late earl enfeoffed them (and Crikkelade, now deceased) of the various lands contained in the attached schedule, with the exception of Ashill in Norfolk, but that following his death they were deprived of these lands by this judgement, which awarded them to the king as guardian of the earl's heir.
