Details of SC 8/344/E1305
Reference: SC 8/344/E1305
Description:
Petitioners: Richard Idley.
Name(s): Idley, Richard
Addressees: Prince.
Nature of request: Idley shows that his grandmother was seised of the manor of Drayton and other lands and tenements in Oxfordshire, and after her death, he entered the same as kinsman and heir and was seised of the same until William Idley, his uncle, with great might and force, and with various riotous persons disseised the petitioner, his mother and her husband. He is unable to have remedy and requests that the prince consider the premises and to re-enter the lands and tenements according to the prince's title and to keep the same until William Idley will show evidence of his right.
Nature of endorsement: A letter was sent to the within mentioned William Idley to appear at the octave of Trinity before the lord's council at Westminster.
Places mentioned: Drayton, Oxfordshire; Westminster.
People mentioned: [Edward Plantagenet], prince [of Wales]; Elizabeth Idley, grandmother of the petitioner; Thomas [Idley], father of the petitioner; William Idley, uncle of the petitioner; William Bothe (Booth); Alice [Bothe (Booth)], wife of William Booth, and mother of the petitioner.
Note: The petition is dated to 1471-1483 on the basis that a cover note preceding this file of petitions indicates that the petitions SC 8/344/E1262-E1316B mostly date to the period 1481-1483, and nearly all appear to belong to the period 1471-1483, this latter date being the dates that Edward Plantagenet, Edward IV's eldest son, held the principality of Wales and the county of Chester. Throughout this file, the latter date range has been adopted where no evidence survives to indicate more specific dates.
Date: [1471-1483]
