Description:
Petitioners: Commonalty of Bromfield and Yale.

Nature of request: The commonalty request the earl of Warenne's council and aid as the earl of Lancaster threatens them and has made it known that he wants possession of the lordships by one means or another. They are not able to resist such power, but are willing to maintain the earl's honour if he gave them good leadership. They also suggest that the earl request that the king order the justices of Wales and Chester to give them aid.
Nature of endorsement: [None].
Places mentioned: Bromfield, [Denbighshire, Wales]; Yale, [Denbighshire, Wales].
People mentioned: John [de Warenne], earl of Warenne; [Thomas of Lancaster], earl of Lancaster.

Date: [1318]
