Details of SC 8/160/7977
Reference: SC 8/160/7977
Description:
Petitioners: Robert de Walkefare.
Name(s): de Walkefare, Robert
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: Walkefare requests remedy as during the time that Henry de Isleham was a minor Alan le Bailiff came and accroached a leet of the tenants of Isleham without reason, Walkefare being Isleham's kinsman and heir.
Nature of endorsement: Faithful men should be assigned in Chancery to enquire in the presence etc. of the contents and other things, and when it has been returned into Chancery, let justice be done in the same place.
Places mentioned: Isleham, [Cambridgeshire]; Staploe hundred, [Cambridgeshire]; Fordham, [Cambridgeshire].
People mentioned: Henry [de Iselham (Isleham)], son of Henry de Isleham; Alan le Bailiff of Fordham, bailiff of Staploe hundred.
Note: Although the petition refers to events in 20 Edward I, the petition is later than that. The guard note suggests a date of? c. 1330 apparently on the basis of an unrelated reference that places Walkefare in possession of Isleham (CPR 1330-4, p.21). Other petitions by Walkefare that relate to this petition do appear to be early Edward III (SC 8/2/85; SC 8/150/7481). However, this petition is very similar to a Latin summary of another petition by Walkefare that dates to 1314, and as the petition is endorsed in Latin, it seems likely that the petition is closer in date to 1314.
Date: [? c. 1314]
