DL 351351-1360Palatinate of Lancaster: Common Bench: Plea Rolls
Civil pleas rolls (otherwise in PL 15) made for the chief justices of the Court of Common Bench during the Palatinate of Henry of Grosmont, first duke of Lancaster.
Most of the entries in the rolls are of pleas, but there are separate sections for essoins and warrants of attorney. Payments for licences to agree are recorded but not the terms of fines.
The rolls were all apparently made for the chief justices of the court, successively Berwick, Thomas de Seaton, John Cockayne and Willian Finchdean, although only those of the first two bear 'signatures'.
