- Nature of request
- Richard Redmane, Robert Lowther, and William Stapylton state that they were appointed by the King's letters patent to collect the reasonable aid for the marriage of Lady Blanche, the King's eldest daughter, and that there is now a process against them in the Exchequer to render account for this aid, although they have collected nothing and knew nothing of these letters patent. They ask the council first to order the Chancellor to examine them individually on oath on this, and then to grant them writs of supersedeas to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer to cease this process and to discharge them from this account.

- On 27 October in the eighth year etc., in the presence in the council of my lords the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of Durham, Chancellor, Lord Willoughby, the Keeper of the Privy Seal, and Arnold Savage, it was agreed that a writ should be sent to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer, to cease from auditing the petitioners' account for the collection of the reasonable aid for my lady Blanche for the reason given here; and that a new commission for the same collection and reasonable aid should be made and addressed to them.
