Reference: SC 8/23/1128
Description:
Petitioners: Tenants of Darlton and Ragnall.
Addressees: King.
Nature of request: The tenants of Darlton and Ragnall complain that Richard Stanop, knight, has enclosed their common pastures, and that they are so ruined as a result that they cannot pay their rents and services to the king; nor do they dare to sue at law, for fear of Richard Stanop: so they request a remedy of the king.
Nature of endorsement: Because the matter of this petition touches a free tenement, the king wishes to be advised on this.
Places mentioned: Darleton (Darlton), [Nottinghamshire]; Ragenell (Ragnall), [Nottinghamshire].
People mentioned: Richard Stanop (Stanhope), knight.
Note: Rot. Parl. vol. IV, p.29b (no.7), assigns this petition to 1414, and most of the surrounding petitions that can be dated seem to be from that year.SC 8/23/1140, from the November parliament of 1414, is a complaint from Richard Stanop against complaints made against him by a Margaret Basset in the parliament of April 1414, and mentions other matters: perhaps these complaints are from that parliament also.
Date: [? 1414]
