Reference: SC 8/85/4215
Description:
Petitioners: Joan de Felton, widow of Thomas de Felton.
Name(s): de Felton, Joan
Addressees: Council in parliament.
Nature of request: Joan, widow of Thomas de Felton, states that several manors belonging to her have been seized into the King's hand because of certain loans received by her husband on 2 August in the forty-eighth year of the reign of the King's grandfather, which have not yet been accounted for. She claims that some of these manors are held jointly with her in various ways, and that her jointure in the others began after any receipts for these loans; and she has long sued to have delivery of them, but with no success. She asks the King and council [sic] to grant her a writ to the Barons of the Exchequer, ordering them that if they can find by charters and other evidence that she can show them, or by inquisition, that she has joint estate as she claims, that they are to do justice to her, and to receive her to account for the loans and receipts received by her late husband and not accounted for before her jointure, notwithstanding that her husband's executors have not yet accounted for the loans and receipts.
Nature of endorsement: [None]
