| 4669 | Petition from Elizabeth wife of Sir William Botriaux concerning false accusation | Petition to king and lords in parliament from Elizabeth wife of Sir William Botriaux, who is in the king's service in Portugal, stating that William has been maliciously and falsely indicted in his absence by procurement of his enemies Ralph Carmynou, knight, John Trevarthian and John Penros. She declares that a year ago Sir William recovered by assize of novel disseisin the manor of Trembethow from the said John Trevarthian, John Penros, and when he went overseas the said John Trevarthian and others forcibly entered on the said manor, destroyed buildings, removed timber and drove away and carried off beasts and other possessions of Richard Eir, Sir William's tenant there, to the value of 40 marks, and have also indicted the said Richard Eir of treason and felonies, sending people to watch for and to kill him, so that he does not dare to go to his own country for fear of death. The petitioner prays aid, the said John Trevarthian and his adherents being so powerful in the country that none can have common law or right against them. Response: As Sir William is in service in Portugal it is agreed in this parliament that the indictment against Sir William and that against Richard Eyr, William Eyr, William Godman, chaplain, and others are suspended and nothing further shall be done until the king shall order otherwise. | Trembethow,Cornwall | Victim | View Incident page | ||
