- Nature of request
- Thomas de Astlegh states that the king ordered him to come to Woodstock on Palm Sunday in the third year of his reign, and there ordered him, through Oliver de Ingham and Simon de Bereford, to make fine with him to exempt him from going to Gascony, giving him to understand that other men-at-arms would go; whereas none has. He made fine in £40 and has paid £20 of this; he asks to be pardoned the remaining £20, and to be repaid what he has paid already.
- Nature of endorsement
- Because the king has pardoned fines and redemptions made for exemptions from going to Gascony, he is to be discharged of what is in arrears of this fine.
