Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Heirs and land tenants of William de Evesham.
- Addressees
- King.
- Nature of request
- The heirs and tenants of Evesham request remedy because whereas Henry III granted to Marshal and his heirs a place in the King's high street in the parish of St Clement outside Temple Bar in London to build a forge for a yearly rent of six horse-shoes, and then a place adjoining the forge for his dwelling for a yearly rent of 4d, and Evesham purchased from Marshal's heir only the place arrented at 4d yearly, the six horseshoes are demanded yearly from the petitioners by summons of the Exchequer, when they are not and have never been tenants of that land.
- Nature of endorsement
- It seems to the council that the request is reasonable; a writ should be sent to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer that neither Evesham nor his heirs were ever tenants of the forge but only of the said place arrented at 4d, and that they should be discharged of the six horse-shoes thus demanded, and the heirs of Marshal or other tenants of the forge should be charged.
- Places mentioned
- St Clement outside Temple Bar (St Clement Danes), London.
- People mentioned
- William de Evesham
- Henry [III], King of England
