- Nature of request
- William de Fienles requests that he may be granted full seisin of all the lands which properly belonged to his late brother and father, as there have been mistakes in earlier inquisitions by the escheators into the nature of these lands. His father died during the reign of the king's grandfather, having leased certain property to his wife, Joan, late the wife of Stephen de Valoignes. His brother also died under-age, and he has since come into possession on his mother's death and his own majority.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- A pardon and grant in relation to this matter was issued on 20 October 1382, probably in response to this petition. The petitioner was apparently concerned that the inquisitions held on the deaths of his father and brother did not explicitly mention that certain lands were held in dower by his mother, lands which passed to the king on her death and which he then took possession of by right on his majority. The petitioner was the father of James Fiennes, 1st Lord Saye and Sele.
