Full description and record details

Reference
SC 8/224/11176
Date
[1386-1389]
Description
Petitioners
Margaret Marshal, Countess of Norfolk, John de Hastings, Earl of Pembroke, and William de Beauchamp, knight.
Name(s)
Marshal, Countess of Norfolk; de Hastings, Earl of Pembroke; de Beauchamp, Margaret; John; William
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The petitioners state that, by a statute of 16 June 1384, Gaunt and Burley were granted the wardship of the lands formerly held in dower or for her life by Countess Anne, at which time her heir, the Earl of Pembroke, was married to Gaunt's daughter, Elizabeth. This marriage has since been terminated, and the petitioners therefore request that these lands now be granted to them, in salvation of the Earl's inheritance, until his full age, offering to pay the king £100 more than Gaunt and Burley currently pay.
Nature of endorsement
Let this petition be sent to chancery, call those who should be called and do right no this matter.
People mentioned
John [of Gaunt], King of Castile and Leon, Duke of Lancaster
Richard Burlee (Burley), knight
Anne [de Hastings], countess of Pembroke
John de Hastings, Earl of Pembroke
Elizabeth [de Hastings], daughter of John of Gaunt
[Edward III, King of England].
Note
Dated by Rees to the period 1384-5; however, the petition states that Elizabeth was now married elsewhere, and she married John Holand, Duke of Exeter, on 24 June 1386. The petition therefore presumably dates to some point between June 1384 and 1389, when the young Earl died.
