- Name(s)
- de St Loe; de St Loe, John; Joan
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Nature of request
- The St Loes request that the manor of Wynford Eagle be taken into the king's hand and delivered to them, or that they are answered in the assize of Mort d'Ancestor against Lovel and that the justices are able to proceed in the assize and do justice notwithstanding Lovel's charter from the king. Joan St Loe is the daughter and heir of Cheverel, and after Cheverel's death the manor was taken into the king's hand and leased to Lovel.1)
- Nature of endorsement
- Let it be ordered to the justices that notwithstanding that charter they should proceed to take the assize according to the law and custom of the realm of England, and that before they proceed to judgment they should certify the king so that the king can do what by right ought to be done.2) No writ has been issued on this because the petitioner has elsewhere pursued to have a writ.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1311 as it clearly postdates the grant of the manor of Wynford Eagle to Lovel, which grant was made on 4 January 1311 (CPR 1307-13, p.304). It seems unlikely that the petition can be too long after this, though legal process in the assize seems to have advance considerably.
