Nature of request

After the earl's death and inquisition was taken by writ of diem clausit extremum, and afterwards [? granted] the same amongst other lands and tenements to Anne, widow of the earl. [The remainder is unclear].2) [Request relating to Thomas Crickelade, though little of the entry survives].

Nature of endorsement
