Reference: SC 8/173/8631
Description:
Petitioners: Aline de Mounbray (Mowbray), widow of John de Mowbray.
Name(s): de Mounbray (Mowbray), Aline
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: Mounbray requests that the record and process be brought into parliament and the errors are able to be viewed and the judgment [reversed] so that she is able to enjoy her purchase of the land of Gower. She and her late husband bought the land of Gower from Braose but Despenser, after his exile had Aline imprisoned in the Tower, and the land of Gower seized, and forced the lady de Burgh to accept Gower in exchange for Usk, and by a fraudulent assize of novel disseisin has disseised the lady de Burgh, Aline, her son and the earl of Gloucester.
Nature of endorsement: She should have a writ in Chancery to make the record and process be brought before the council.
Places mentioned: Gower, [Glamorgan, Wales]; Usk, [Monmouthshire, Wales].
People mentioned: William de Brewosa (Braose); Earl of Hereford; John de Mounbray (Mowbray), late husband of the petitioner; Hugh le Despenser, the son; Lady de Burgh; John de Mounbray (Mowbray), son of the petitioner.
Note: The petition is dated to c. 1327 as it is clearly made after the accession of Edward III, the petition referring to the youger Despenser as 'le malveis tretre Hugh le Despencier le Fyz', a description that would not have been used prior to the Despensers' fall.
Date: [c. 1327]
