Details of SC 8/48/2362
Reference: SC 8/48/2362
Description:
Petitioners: William de Furnival.
Name(s): de Furnival, William
Addressees: King and council
Nature of request: The petitioner states that he was bound to the bishop of Durham by indenture in £1000 and as security he enfeoffed certain persons in his lands and tenements in Stokeuerdon, who then re-enfeoffed William and one Thomasine (who the petitioner undertook to marry), which was recorded in writing more than eleven years previously. And now the bishop in his great malice has pursued the implementation of the indenture, alleging that the said enfeoffment was never made and by a coroner's inquest condemned the petitioner to pay and thus ruin him. The petitioner seeks a remedy from the king.
Nature of endorsement: [None]
Places mentioned: Stokeuerdon (Stoke Farthing), [Wiltshire]; Wiltshire.
People mentioned: [Thomas Hatfield], Bishop of Durham; Thomasine [unidentified], the intended bride of the petitioner.
Note: Datable to c. 1365 on the basis that the marriage of the petitioner had taken place by early 1366 and another dispute with the bishop of Durham had been resolved: CPR 1364-7, p. 212.
Date: [c. 1365]
