- Nature of request
- Edward de St John and Eve his wife state that they recovered certain tenements in Sussex of Eve's dower from her late husband William Paynel, but that they were then disseised of them by Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, John de Hastyng and others. They brought an assize of novel disseisin, but in the course of that assize Aymer and John died. They brought another assize against Laurence de Hastyng, Ralph de Bockyng and others, but because Laurence was under age and in the King's wardship, the justices refused to take that assize until Edward and Eve had petitioned parliament for a writ to order them to do so. The justices have now taken the assize and found that Edward and Eve were disseised as they claim; but they are refusing to render judgment. They request a writ to the justices to render judgment, considering that they have now been disseised for twelve years and more.
