- King.
- Nature of request
- The Warden and college of the free chapel in Windsor castle state that Thomas Prestewyk has been excommunicated at their suit, for withholding tithes with which they have been endowed; and that because of this a canon and certain vicars and others who are well-disposed towards the chapel in this dispute have been wrongly indicted through maintenance, and the indictments have been heard in secret so as to have them imprisoned, with the intention of depriving the chapel and its chaplains of their rights. They ask the King to order the Chancellor to issue writs to have any indictments touching the chaplains, any of them, or their well-wishers, brought before the King in his Bench, so that these indicted people might be delivered by law, without obstruction from their adversaries.
- Nature of endorsement
- [On face] The King wishes that a letter be sent to have the indictments brought to his Bench, so that his justices and others of his council can ordain for justice to be done to the said petitioners, and so that the Dean and chaplains are not wrongly oppressed in this way in future. T. Percy.[A similar previous endorsement has been deleted].[None on dorse]
