Occupation
valet
Nature of request
Bech requests that his small piece of land that he has in Kingston Bagpuize be delivered to him as it has been taken into the king's hand by Brumpton, since Bech was in the king's service in Pleshey castle with his brother, and it has been found by inquisition that he was not in the company of rebels.

Nicholas [de la Bech], brother of the petitioner
