Nature of request: Laurence de Allerthorp, master of the hospital of St Edmund in Gateshead, states that he held the hospital by the collation of the Bishop of Durham, but that the king had sued a quare impedit against the bishop and Fenrother regarding the right of presentment.

Levesham now claims to have been forcibly ejected, even though he never had possession, and secured letters to Claxton (Levesham's cousin) and Emeldon to maintain him in possession and eject the petitioner. Allerthorp therefore requests that this commission be superseded until the plea is judged.
