Description
Petitioners
John de Lancaster.
Name(s)
de Lancaster, John
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Lancaster requests that he is granted the scutage of his tenants and that he is acquitted of the scutage that is demanded for the king's use. He served in person in the campaign of Galloway, and was assigned to serve in the battles of the earl of Lincoln and Fitz Roger and other lords, and now scutage is demanded from him, and he is denied his scutage from his tenants.
Nature of endorsement
[None].
Places mentioned
Galloway, [Scotland].
People mentioned
[Henry de Lacy], earl of Lincoln
Robert le fiz Roger (Fitz Roger).
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1305 because the petitioner was granted his scutage in 1305 and 1315, but the references to service with the earl of Lincoln and the Galloway campaign both indicate the petition is of Edward I's reign (Cal. Various Chancery Rolls, pp.380, 389).
