Date
[1368-1369]
Description
Petitioners
William Carles.
Name(s)
Carles, William
Addressees
Council.
Nature of request
William Carles states that as a result of an assize of novel disseisin that he brought, a writ was sent to the Bishop of Chester to inquire whether Henry de Terbok was a bastard. The Bishop inquired into this more than a year ago, but has refused to provide certification on this, although William has sued from term to term to make him do so. He then brought a writ of Chancery to have the Bishop sent a copy of his inquiry to Chancery: which he did. William sued to the King and council to have this copy examined by those most learned in the law of the church and of the land to inform them of the truth and the law; and it was passed to the Treasurer and the Dean of the Arches to do this. William asks the council to discover from the Treasurer and Dean what they have done on this, and to give a final decision, so that he and others in like case are not disinherited.
Nature of endorsement
[None]
Places mentioned
Lancashire.
People mentioned
[Robert Stretton], Bishop of Chester (Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield)
Henry de Terbok.
