SC 8/268/13395
Date

Description
Petitioners
Warden and convent of the Friars Minor of Oxford.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The warden and convent request that an annuity of 50 marks granted by the king's grandfather be paid at Michaelmas and Easter by equal portions from the issues of the office of the sheriff of Oxford, and that their patents be confirmed without fee.
Nature of endorsement
[None].
Places mentioned
Oxford, [Oxfordshire].
Note
The petition appears to date to 1378 when the minors received the grant of the annuity which had originally been granted by Edward II (CPR 1377-81, p.225). However no mention is made of payment from the shrievalty of Oxford, so it is not entirely certain that this patent roll entry is in response to the petition.
