Reference
SC 8/228/11369
Date
[c. 1366]
Description
Petitioners
William de Aldeburgh (Aldborough)
Name(s)
de Aldeburgh (Aldborough), William
Addressees
King
Nature of request
William de Aldeburgh requests permission to enclose and improve his land called Swindon, part of the manor of Harewood in Wharfedale, which he holds of the king in chief, and in which the game from the forest of Knaresborough are pastured, and also that he might be able to profit from the white oaks (cheynes blaunkes) there.
Nature of endorsement
Let this petition be sent into Chancery, and there the council of the queen is to be called and let justice be done.
Places mentioned
Swyndon (Swindon Park), [West Riding of] Yorkshire
Harewood, [West Riding of] Yorkshire
Wharfedale, [West Riding of Yorkshire]
Knaresborough forest, [West Riding of Yorkshire]
People mentioned
[Edmund of Almaine] Earl of Cornwall
[Isabel de Forz], Countess of Aumale
Hugh de Hastynges (Hastings)
Note
A note on the guard of the petition says 'c. 1364' but CPR 1361-4, p.51, which is dated at Westminster, 16 June 1364, shows that the manor still belonged to Robert de Insula then. He may have been the father of William's wife, and the enfeoffment was done to allow him to settle it on the couple as part of a marriage settlement or to make a settlement prior to his death. A later patent roll entry, dated at Windsor, 27 December 1366, shows, Harewood was in his possession then, and this is the best approximate date we have for the petition (CPR 1364-7, p.355).
