Nature of request
Hessewell and Brounish request right be done to them and that the debts of the dead bishop be acquitted as the late bishop was seised of the wardship of the heir of the earl of Warwick who held the manors of Castle Barnard, Gainford, Quarrington and Long Newton and afterwards was ousted by the king, and died while pursuing his right and recovery of the wardship in the parliament of Lincoln and in Chancery.

Note
The petition is dated to 1318-1319 because this petition appears to be part of an original file of that date (see the dating of SC 8/318/E340). Bishop Kellaw died on 9 October 1316. The petition is likely to precede SC 8/44/2168.
