Details of SC 8/124/6156
Reference: SC 8/124/6156
Description:
Petitioners: Henry de Lancaster.
Name(s): de Lancaster, Henry
Addressees: King.
Nature of request: Henry de Lancaster asks that the king have recollection of a bill sent to him at the council meeting held at the house of the Friars Minor in York in June 1322, requesting the restoration to him of the castle, town and county of Lancaster, and all the appurtenant forests, parks, etc., which Henry III had granted to his son Edmund, Henry's ancestor. Lancaster encloses a list of these estates.
Nature of endorsement: Coram Rege.
Places mentioned: York; Lancaster, [Lancashire]; Lancashire.
People mentioned: Henry [III], King of England; Edmund [of Lancaster, Earl of Lancaster].
Note: The petition mentions a bill presented to the York Council meeting in June 1322. In May 1323 Lancaster appointed attorneys to prosecute his petitions for the earldoms of Lancaster and Leicester, and it seems likely that this appointment is contemporary with this petition for the Lancaster earldom.
Date: [c. 1323]
