Reference: SC 8/146/7282
Description:
Petitioners: Hugh de Wrottesleye (Wrottesley); knight.
Name(s): de Wrottesleye (Wrottesley), Hugh
Addressees: Council.
Nature of request: Hugh de Wrottesleye states that he had made an agreement with Adam de Peshale about the manor of Talgarth, which Adam broke, to his great harm and expense, as the manor is held of the King in chief and he had to purchase a licence from him. He also complains of an attack on him and his men at the feast of St Thomas last, resulting from a disturbance at the fair of Albrghton, when Adam's men lay in wait for Hugh's men, but then complained that Hugh's men had attacked them, and that Adam and his brothers have made false complaints to the King about Hugh, and purchased writs to have him arrested without cause. He also complains that they gather together large bands of armed men to threaten him, and that because William de Godyngton would not go with them, they came to his house wishing to kill him, and ravished his daughter.
Nature of endorsement: [None]
Places mentioned: Talgarth, [Brecknockshire, Wales]; Albrighton, [Shropshire]; Ideshale (Idsall), [Shropshire]; Shropshire; Wrottesley, Staffordshire.
