Description
Petitioners
Geoffrey Dabetot (D'Abitot).
Name(s)
Dabetot (D'Abitot), Geoffrey
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Dabetot requests justice because he has sued for four years to recover his right to the manor of Redmarley, the reversion of which he granted to Sapy and his heirs by fine levied in the King's court, after which, because of his quarrel with Lancaster, Dabetot was imprisoned at Gloucester until he and Sapy handed over the manor to le Despenser who was seized of the same until it came into the King's hand by his forfeiture, and then Sapy told the King and council that Dabetot had given the manor to le Despenser willingly by fine levied in the King's court in the fourteenth year [1320-1] before Bereford and his companions, and so the King gave the manor to Sapy for life.
Nature of endorsement
He shall have aid by the statute, since he has no other recovery.
Places mentioned
Redmarley (Redmarley D'Abitot), Worcestershire
Gloucester, [Gloucestershire]
People mentioned

[Thomas of Lancaster], Earl of Lancaster
