Details of SC 8/150/7479
Reference: SC 8/150/7479
Description:
Petitioners: William de Walton and Robert Burre, merchants.
Name(s): de Walton; Burre, William; Robert
Addressees: King and council.
Occupation: merchants
Nature of request: William de Walton and Robert Burre, merchants, state that they have letters of obligation of John II, Duke of Brabant, for a debt that he owes them, the transcript of which is sewn to this petition, and that they have often sued to the present Duke of Brabant with letters from the King for payment of this debt, but that he has continually delayed. They request that arrest be made of goods to the sum of their debt, from people of the power of the Duke coming to England, in view of their poverty and their long suit.
Nature of endorsement: Coram rege.[On dorse of SC 8/150/7480] He is to sue in Chancery, and the Chancellor is to do what seems to him is reasonably to be done.
Places mentioned: Brabant.
People mentioned: John [III], Duke of Brabant; John [II], Duke of Brabant.
Note: This petition is a near duplicate of SC 8/147/7334, but has some minor differences and, crucially, does not mention the petitioners' twenty-two years' suit. It would therefore seem likely not to be quite contemporary with SC 8/147/7334, and quite possibly dates from c. 1324 like many others in this file.
Date: [? c. 1324]
