Reference: SC 8/160/7956
Description:
Petitioners: Richard Talebot (Talbot), son of Gilbert Talbot; Elizabeth Talebot (Talbot), wife of Richard Talbot, and one of the heirs of Aymer de Valence.
Name(s): Talebot (Talbot); Talebot (Talbot), Richard; Elizabeth
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: The Talebots request remedy as Elizabeth, following the death of Aymer, though she was of full age was put in the wardship of the Despensers by their procurement, she was held in prison and forced to grant the manor of Swanscombe to the king, who gave it to the elder of the Despenser.
Nature of endorsement: This is answered elsewhere.
Places mentioned: Swancombe, [Kent].
People mentioned: Aymer de Valence, [Earl of Pembroke]; Hugh le Despenser, the father; Hugh le Despenser, the son.
Note: The petition dates to c. 1327 as it is clearly after the fall of the Despenser's and relates to one of their more notorious acts. An unrelated order to restore a separate part of the inheritance is probably contemporary and dates to 23 March 1327 (CFR 1327-37, p.35).
Date: [c. 1327]
