Details of SC 8/341/16063
Reference: SC 8/341/16063
Description:
Petitioners: Master and scholars of University College, Oxford.
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: [This petition is badly damaged and faded, and is almost illegible.] The Master and scholars complain about plots and false lawsuits brought by lay people to disinherit their university, and in particular about a recent suit brought by a man and his wife [probably the Edmund and Idonia Fraunceys mentioned in related petitions].
Nature of endorsement: Coram rege.
Places mentioned: Oxford, [Oxfordshire].
Note: If the man and his wife are the Edmund and Idonia Fraunceys mentioned in related petitions, this petition would seem to date from c. 1384, and date which accords well with the hand and language.
Date: [? c. 1384]
