Nature of request
Peter de Grantsoun, Roger Pychard and John de Penebrugge state that they were appointed to array the people of Herefordshire according to the statute of Winchester, and to do various other things ordained in the late parliament at Westminster, and that in fulfilment of this they have ordered the Sheriff of Herefordshire to summon people to hold an inquiry, but that he has told the people that their commission does not extend so far as to compel them to put their seals to the inquiry, and he has told them that the inquiry is worthless without seals. They ask the King to tell them his will, and what he wants them to do to carry out his command. They also state that the King has given them power to punish the rebellious, and that Richard Monyword, chosen as one of the constables of Hereford, and to array the people and do other things according to the statute of Winchester, has refused to appear before them. They have made process to the Bailiff of Hereford to attach his body and to seize his goods and chattels until the King has told his will on this matter. They therefore ask the King for his will on this matter.
