Details of SC 8/326/E769
Reference: SC 8/326/E769
Description:
Petitioners: Dean and Chapter of Bangor.
Addressees: King.
Nature of request: The Dean and Chapter request that they are granted a delay in the demand made by the justice of North Wales for £113 for the tenth of Pope Boniface until they are able to enquire of the register of Testa for good warrant of their payment of the tenth, and that they not be distrained in the meantime. They made payment of the sum for which they had good acquittances from Testa, but these were burnt with other muniments which they had deposited in the belfry of Bangor which they had regarded as the most safe place.
Nature of endorsement: Coram magno consilio.
Places mentioned: Bangor, [Caernarfonshire, Wales].
People mentioned: Justice of North Wales; William de Testa, chief collector of the papal tenth.
Note: The petition is dated to c. 1307 on the basis of references to the bishop and chapter being sub-collectors of the clerical tenth dating to 1303 and 1306, and to an inhibition against William de Testa and Peter Almauini pending a decision by the council concerning petitions exhibited by them, which may relate to this present petition and dates to 1307 (CCR 1307-13, pp. 118-120, 382-4, 538).
Date: [c. 1307]
