Reference
SC 8/244/12188
Date
[? 1347]
Description
Petitioners
? No Petitioner named
Nature of request
Letter commanding that the enclosed petition of Brisele given by him to the king is considered and what needs to be done is done.
Nature of endorsement
[On face:]On the part of the king.[On dorse, none].
Places mentioned
Reading, [Berkshire].
People mentioned
Edward III, King of England
Henry de Brisele (Brisley).
Note
The warrant is dated to 26 March. The dating of the year is more problematic as the guard note dates the petition to? 1347 with a patent roll reference to 'Pat R p.257', but none of the patent roll volumes in the whole decade of the 1340s has any relevant entry on p.257 or any other page so that the dating to? 1347 must be treated with great care.
