-
- Petitioners
- John Trenowyth.
- Name(s)
- Trenowyth, John
- Addressees
- Archbishop of Canterbury, chancellor.
- Nature of request
- Trenowyth shows that his father was possessed of certain evidences concerning various lands and tenements in Devon and Cornwall, and one especially by which Ralph Trenowyth gave his lands and tenements in the same counties to John Trenowyth, his father, and to the heirs of his body legitimately begotten. These evidences, after the death of the petitioner's father, were taken away by many unknown people by the procurement of Margaret, his widow, and the petitioner has requested many times that she inform him of the names of those who took the evidences, so that he could recover the same by the common law, but she has refused unless he granted her that she could peacefully have and hold all the lands and tenements that she entered after her late husband's death, to the petitioner's great hurt and disinheritance. Trenowyth requests that after considering the premises, the archbishop grant a writ directed to Thomas Trescythny and Margaret his wife to appear in Chancery on a certain day on a certain pain, and there to do and receive what good faith and conscience requires.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1448-c. 1450 on the basis of the dating given in the guard note, and because of references in the patent rolls. The wardship of the petitioner was granted to John Nanfan on 12 December 1446, Thomas Trescythny and Margaret his wife were married by 24 April 1447, and the complaint made in the petition presumably related to those people who ejected Nanfan from the petitioner's lands for which an oyer and terminer was granted on 16 February 1448 (CPR 1446-52, pp. 51, 128, 138). The petition must date to some short time after this.
