Full description and record details

Reference
SC 8/326/E780
Date
[c. 1307-c. 1327]
Description
Petitioners
John de Hoyland son and heir of John de Hoyland.
Name(s)
de Hoyland, John
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Hoyland states that his father was collector of the tenth and sixth granted to the late king and he owed to the king a great sum, and after the time that he became a debtor of the king he granted his manor of Wyberton to Welle, and the king granted by charter to Welle that the manor not be distrained for Hoyland's father's debt. This left the petitioner and the remaining lands charged with the sum though all his father's lands ought to have been equally charged with it. Hoyland requests that it be ordered by writ to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer that they extend all the lands that Hoyland's father held at the day that he became a debtor of the king, both the manor of Wyberton and his other lands, and that the manor be charged with the other lands notwithstanding the grant made by the king's father, or that Hoyland be discharged of a proportion of the debt.
Nature of endorsement
Coram magno consilio
Places mentioned
Lincolnshire
Wyberton, [Lincolnshire].
People mentioned
John de Hoyland, father of the petitioner
Adam de Welle.
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1307 as it is clear from internal evidence that the petition is of Edward II's reign, and related petitions apparently by the petitioner's mother dated to c. 1305 and c. 1307 (SC 8/2/55; SC 8/266/13272).
