Description:
Petitioners: Margaret de Batelesmere (Badlesmere), widow of Bartholomew de Badlesmere
Name(s): de Batelesmere (Badlesmere), Margaret
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: Margaret, widow of Bartholomew de Batelesmere, and one of the sisters and heirs of Richard de Clare, states that while she was in the king's prison, Robert de Welles, the husband of Maud, the younger sister, with the aid and maintenance of Hugh le Despenser, had the lands of the inheritance assessed and took Maud's share, both in England and in Ireland, although Margaret did not assent to this division or take anything. She requests that the division might be made again, according to the assessments returned in Chancery, and that she might have the choice of her share, as she is the elder sister.
