Date
[c. 1379]
Description
Petitioners
Arnold de Seint Johan (St John), nephew of Bernard de St John.
Name(s)
de Seint Johan (St John), Arnold
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Seint Johan requests that the goods and heritage that were Bernard St John's be restored to and released to him and that the officers of Calveley not trouble him further, as they occupied them when St John returned to Guyenne where he was born, though Seint Johan remained as his proctor to administer his heritage and he has been put to great costs to recover them.
Nature of endorsement
[None].
Places mentioned
Guernsey, [Channel Islands]
Guyenne, [France].
People mentioned
Bernard de Seint Johan (St John)
Hugh de Calvyle (Calveley), knight.
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1379 as that was the year that Calveley was granted the office of warden of the Channel Islands. The guard suggests a wider date of 1377-1393 but the basis for this is unclear.
