Reference: SC 8/21/1028
Description:
Petitioners: Heirs, executors and tenants of Reginald de Eccles.
Addressees: King and council in parliament.
Nature of request: The heirs, executors and tenants of Reginald de Eccles request a writ to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer, to cease their distraints against them for the records of the time when Reginald was Justice of the Peace in Norfolk, as these were burnt and stolen during the uprising (of 1381), when Reginald was killed.
Nature of endorsement: The Chancellor is to inform himself that this is true, and is to issue a writ to the Treasurer and barons to cease from the demand and distraint mentioned in the petition.On the testimony of James de Billynford, Geoffrey Somerton and Paul de Middelton; and many others of the country.
Places mentioned: Norfolk.
People mentioned: Reginald de Eccles; James de Billynford; Geoffrey Somerton; Paul de Middelton.
Note: CPR 1381-5, p.26 is dated at Havering atte Bower, 6 July 1381. This petition must postdate the uprising of 1381, and a note on the guard suggests that it is probably from some time later, perhaps around 1390: it notes that the three witnesses mentioned on the dorse coincide in a document of 25 February 1390 (CCR 1389-92, p.151).
