Details of SC 8/37/1831
Reference: SC 8/37/1831
Description:
Petitioners: Abbot of Bindon.
Addressees: King and council.
Occupation: Abbot of Bindon
Nature of request: The abbot shows that Montagu has ruined the house by the maintenance of the coroner who he made his steward, and procured an appealer to accuse the monks who did not assent to him. The coroner has revealed himself by many actions not to be suitable for his office so that the abbot requests that the coroner is removed from his office, and another suitable person is put in his place
Nature of endorsement: He should sue in Chancery.
Places mentioned: Bindon, [Dorset].
People mentioned: John de Montagu, monk of Bindon; William de Stoke, Coroner of Dorset and steward of Bindon; Walter de la Siverye, monk of Bindon.
Note: The petition must date to c. 1331. It is not clear whether this petition precedes SC 8/37/1829, but it is very clear that these two petitions and SC 8/37/1830 are all closely linked and produced within a short space of time, and all concern the injury that Montagu had done the house (CPR 1330-4, pp.63, 89, 131, 142).
Date: [c. 1331]
