Details of SC 8/293/14611
Reference: SC 8/293/14611
Description:
Petitioners: Philip le Despenser.
Name(s): Despenser, Philip
Addressees: King.
Nature of request: Philip le Despenser states that Hugh le Despenser the father, his grandfather, gave and granted to Philip his son, Philip's father, certain lands and tenements, namely Barrow in Cheshire, Parlington in Yorkshire, Alkborough in Lincolnshire, for Philip and the heirs of his body to have and hold. [The rest of the petition is obscured by conservation work, but it would appear that Philip re-enfeoffed Hugh with these manors, and that they were then seized into the hand of the king.]
Nature of endorsement: [On face] In camera.[On dorse] If the tenements are in another hand than the hand of the king, he is to sue at common law.
Places mentioned: Barowe (Barrow), Cheshire; Parlington, [West Riding of] Yorkshire; Alkborough, Lincolnshire.
People mentioned: Hugh le Despenser the father; Philip [le Despenser], father of Philip le Despenser.
Note: Dated on the basis of the hand and content. It is clear that the case involving Parlington was especially complicated: the petition seems to be earlier than CCR 1346-9 p.40, dated 11 February 1346, and pp.223-224, dated 8 June 1347.
Date: [c. 1346]
