Description

? No Petitioner named
Nature of request
Letter of Broun to an unknown unnamed individual stating that the king had granted him certain of the lands of the Templars for the sustenance of himself, his wife and his children and that now it has been commanded that the lands of the Templars be delivered to the Hospitallers. The author requests aid towards the king for his sustenance.
Nature of endorsement

Places mentioned
Scone, [Perthshire, Scotland].
People mentioned
Thomas Broun (Brown)
Templars
Hospitallers.
Note
The letter is dated to c. 1324 as it seems to be part of a file of petitions and other documents that dates to this time. The letter appears to be dated at Scone in Scotland, but this may possibly be Stone in Staffordshire.Although a note that precedes SC 8/346/E1392 states that petitions SC 8/346/E1392-E1399 are probably the remains of a file dating to c. 1324, the dating of SC 8/346/E1396 to 1308-c. 1320 may indicate that the attribution of these files to a putative file of c. 1324 is incorrect. It is unclear whether E1396 is a stray amongst other petitions that do belong to a file of c. 1324, or whether this group of files should be individually dated and do not in fact belong to a file of c. 1324. However, for most of these petitions there is little to indicate a problem with the dating of c. 1324.
