de Neusome; de Kexby; de Broghton, William; William; Henry

Nature of request
[This petition is badly damaged and almost entirely illegible. Some names can be distinguished, and it appears to relate to various lands, including some in a place called Catyngham, but little more can be discerned.]
Nature of endorsement
[None]
Places mentioned
Catyngham [unidentified]
[Northumberland].
People mentioned
Donald de Hesilrig, knight
John Parant, sergeant-at-arms
Thomas de Holand.
Note
Dated on the guard to? c. 1386, with reference to entries on the close roll from 1385 and 1386 regarding the estates of Hesilrig. However, it is unclear from the petition whether or not he is still alive at this time, or precisely what his connection is with the petitioners and their request. However, the handwriting would certainly appear consistent with a date around this time.
