[1472-1483]
Description
Petitioners
Thomas ? Fayrewell.
Name(s)
Fayrewell, Thomas
Addressees
Prince.
Nature of request
[The petition is very badly damaged, and is missing substantial portions from both the left and right-hand sides, and the full sense is difficult to discern. The petition refers to the delivery of faggots and underwood, and something occurring to the harm of the petitioner. The request may be that the petitioner be contented presumably for his costs].
Nature of endorsement
[None].
Places mentioned
Bekynsfeld (Beaconsfield), Buckinghamshire.
People mentioned
[Edward Plantagenet], prince [of Wales]
John Gardener.
Note
The petition is dated to 1472-1483 on the basis that a cover note preceding this file of petitions indicates that the petitions SC 8/344/E1262-E1316B mostly date to the period 1481-1483, and nearly all appear to belong to the period 1471-1483, this latter date being the dates that Edward Plantagenet, Edward IV's eldest son, held the principality of Wales and the county of Chester. Throughout this file, the latter date range has been adopted where no evidence survives to indicate more specific dates, and in this case there is a reference to events in 12 Edw. IV thus narrowing the date range by a mere year!
