Petitioners

John de Grauntsete.

Name(s)

de Grauntsete, John

Addressees

King.

Places mentioned

Leixlip, [County Kildare, Ireland].

Nature of request

Grauntsete requests remedy as he holds by commission for a term of years from the king the manor of Leixlip rendering the extent at the Exchequer of Dublin, however, the free tenants of the manor who contribute to the extent are so impoverished by the war that they cannot work the land or pay the rent, but the treasurer and barons of the Dublin Exchequer will have no regard for this and demand the full extent.

Nature of endorsement

Let the justice be commanded to enquire of this and certify the king.
