Reference: SC 8/157/7819
Description:
Petitioners: Henry of Lancaster, Earl of Lancaster and Leicester.
Name(s): Lancaster, Earl of Lancaster and Leicester, Henry
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: The earl requests that he is able to have a writ as law and reason demand as the chancellor was ordered to have a diem clausit extremum upon which he delivered writs to seize the lands of which Thomas, earl of Lancaster died seised into the king's hand and to make an extent of the same, but the escheators and sub-escheators will not make extents of knight's fees or advowsons because their writs made no mention of them, and the chancellor will not make further writs.
Nature of endorsement: He should have writs in Chancery of livery both . . . and advowsons and of . . . and tenements.
People mentioned: Thomas [of Lancaster], Earl of Lancaster.
Note: The petition dates to 1327 as although Henry of Lancaster's title was not challenged from late 1326, he was not formally restored until 3 February 1327. The petition is unlikely to be much later than this date, and may even have preceded it.
