Special Collections: Ancient Petitions, PETITIONS TO THE KING; TO THE KING AND COUNCIL; TO THE COUNCIL; TO THE PARLIAMENT; AND THE LIKE. .
Petitioners: Robert de Mountfort (Montfort), clerk.
Addressees: King and council.
Places mentioned: Castle Combe, [Wiltshire].
Other people mentioned: Bartholomew de Badlesmere; William de Mountfort (Montfort), late brother of the petitioner William de Chestrefeld (Chesterfield).
Nature of request: Mountfort shows that he had a livery of clothing granted to him for life by Badlesmere, by that lord's power, in return for his release of his rights in his inheritance from his brother William, which livery he was to take annually at the manor of Castle Combe. The livery is in arrears since Badlesmere forfeited to the king, so that he requests that the king order that he have the arrears of the livery, and should have it in the future, or that he should have his writing made to Badlesmere so that he is not disinherited.
1) Endorsement: He should show that which he has of the pension, and justices should be assigned to enquire into the truth of the matter and upon the continuation of his seisin etc., and the inquisition is to be returned, and let justice be done. Coram rege.
