Reference: SC 8/150/7482
Description:
Petitioners: Thomas Cobham, Bishop of Worcester.
Name(s): Cobham, Thomas
Addressees: King and council.
Occupation: Bishop of Worcester
Nature of request: Thomas, Bishop of Worcester states that John Giffard, who held the manor of Stoke Gifford of him as of the right of his church, and several other tenants who held of him, have forfeited their lands and tenements in war against the King, so that these lands and tenements are now in the King's hand. He asks that the services and customs due to him from the said manor might be given to him, so that he does not lose and that his church is not disinherited.
Nature of endorsement: Coram rege.He is to specify in whose hands the manor is now, and which tenants held of the bishop, and which tenements, and where, and by what service.
Places mentioned: Stoke Gifford, [Gloucestershire]; Henbury, [Gloucestershire]; Brentry hundred, [Gloucestershire].
People mentioned: John Giffard.
Note: CFR 1319-27 p.97 is dated 18 February 1322, and CCR 1318-23 p.426 is dated 5 March 1322. If the manor was restored, this petition would seem to date from around February 1322, but, if, as the petition seems to suggest, the manor was held by John Giffard and not his mother, it might be later, but before 1327.
Date: [? 1322]
