Name(s)
de Leghton, Alice
Addressees

Nature of request
Leghton requests that the king will grant her the rent of certain land formerly held by Irthlingborough in Ecton. Trussel and Margate took this from Irthlingborough, but it is now in the king's hand by Trussel' forfeiture.1)
Nature of endorsement

Ralph de Ertelyngburgh (Irthlingborough)
William Trussell
Robert de Margate, parson of Ecton.
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1322-c. 1324 on the basis of the guard note dating. However while the close roll reference given on the guard refers to an order to arrest Trussel the patent roll entry appears to have no direct relevance, so the basis of the later date is difficult to confirm (CCR 1318-23::p.586).
