- Nature of request
- Walter, Archbishop of Canterbury, states that Henry I gave his church and William, then Archbishop, the church of St Martin, Dover, and established men of religion there, and that Henry II confirmed this gift and established that the monks should follow the Benedictine order, and that the house should always be in the hand and lordship of the Archbishop of Canterbury. But Edward I, in his fourteenth year, brought a writ against the Prior of Holy Trinity, claiming the advowson of this priory; to which the Prior replied that he had nothing in the advowson except that Archbishop Theobald had ordained that the Prior should always be from the priory of Holy Trinity. John, Archbishop of Canterbury, then showed that he had the advowson through the charters and confirmations of Kings; but the justices adjudged that the King should recover against the Prior, who had no right in the advowson, and that Prior was forbidden to intermeddle in the priory. The Archbishop therefore asks the King to consider the grant and confirmation of his ancestors, which they did not legally forfeit, and that he might have and enjoy them again.
