| Description: |
| Thomas Wake de Liddel. |
| Wake, Thomas |
| King and council. |
| Wake shows by reciting an earlier petition that he presented to the last parliament held at Westminster that William de Stuteville his ancestor was granted Knaresborough and Boroughbridge by Henry II, which gift was confirmed by successive kings to Stuteville and his ancestors. However Henry III retained them from Eustace de Stuteville, and the Wakes to whom the Stuteville lands descended did not have the power to sue for the same by which Wake petitioned for his right to be considered. Wake now requests remedy so that he is not disinherited as although he has sued by writ according to the endorsement of his previous petition, he has still not been able to have his suit returned into Chancery, and rather he is delayed from his right from time to time. |
| The petition is ordered to be taken into Chancery and there the rolls are to be searched to see if the lands and tenements contained in the petition were taken into the hand of King John because of the death of Robert as the petition alleges, or for another reason, and likewise if the lands and tenements when Eustace made his homage were retained in the hand of the king at that time, and for what reason, and of all articles concerning this business. And likewise the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer are to search their roles and remembrances to find anything of value for the king, or anything else concerning this business, and if they find anything they are to return it into Chancery. |
| Knaresborough, West Riding of Yorkshire; Boroughbridge, West Riding of Yorkshire; Cottingham, East Riding of Yorkshire. |

| Note: |
The petition is dated to 1335 by the heading in Rot. Parl., vol II, p.90, noting these to be petitions in parliament for 9 Edward III. However, the petition is identified as 1327 in Cal. Mem Rolls 1326-7, no. 456; because it is one in a series of complaints on this matter, the dating remains somewhat uncertain.
