Nature of request
Kyllome recounts that whereas he had a provision of Pope Urban directed to the bishop of Durham for a benefice with cure of souls worth 25 marks and for a benefice without cure worth 18 marks, and there was a portion in the parish church of Norton, being without cure and worth only 9 marks and of the bishop's patronage, to which Fordham collated Scampston and instituted and inducted him in corporal possession. This portion came void by Scampston's death and was taken by Kyllome who was put in corporal possession by the executors of his bulls long before 29 January in the thirteenth year of the King's reign [1390], and remained in possession until Ryall, falsely suggesting to the King that it was of his gift, was given collation, on the strength of which the bishop of Durham accepted, instituted, inducted and put him in corporal possession and ejected the petitioner. Kyllome requests that the chancellor summon Ryall into Chancery to show the royal title to grant the portion and that justice be done.
