Reference
SC 8/313/E68
Date
[? 1302]
Description
Petitioners
Margaret of France, Queen of England.
Name(s)
France, Queen of England, Margaret
Addressees
King and council.
Places mentioned
Hadleigh, [Essex]
Southampton, [Hampshire]
Christchurch, [Dorset].
Nature of request
The queen requests that the repairs required for the castles granted her be undertaken as the houses were in a feeble condition when she received them.
Nature of endorsement
1) She should repair them if she wishes. 2) Let it remain. 3) Coram rege. 4) For the queen.
Note
The petition is dated to? 1302 as the majority of petitions in this file probably date to this year. The guard note suggests the widest possible date of 1299-1307 being the date of the marriage and the death of Edward I, but suggests a date of 1300 being more likely. Though this slightly earlier date is possible, it seems more likely that the petition is part of this group of petitions from 1302.
