Date
[? 1415]
Description
Petitioners
Prior and convent of Bury St Edmunds.

The prior and convent request that the chancellor make them letters patent to elect a new abbot, with writs for the restoration of the temporalities to the elected abbot.
Nature of endorsement
[None].
Places mentioned
Bury St Edmunds, [Suffolk].
Note
The petition is dated to? 1415 as the only vacancies that seem probable for this petition are in 1379, 1390 and 1415, and the hand seems most appropriate for that of 1415. A mandate was directed to the escheator of Norfolk and Suffolk to restore the temporalities of the abbot elect on 13 July 1415 (CPR 1413-16, p.341).
