| Text (English translation) | Writ to Hugh Ive of Grays. Whereas John Haukyn of Stifford has shown by a petition exhibitierd to the King and his council that Hugh Ive lately, with a great multitude of rebels who arose against the King's peace and their allegiance in Essex and elsewhere, by force of arms entered and occupied a house of the said John Stifford in Grays Thurrock and took and carried away a certain release and quitclaim by which a certain John Norffolk gave up all right and claim to four acres of meadow and five shillings of rent held by John Haukyn in Grays, Hugh Ive is to appear in person before the King and his council at Westminster on 19 June 1382 at Westminster to answer this petition and show reasons why the release and quitclaim should not be reissued in accordance with the ordinance issued in parliament for such a case. Hugh is to bring this writ and the release with him. Dated 16 June 1382. An endorsement states that on the said day Hugh appeared in Chancery with the said writ and both Hugh and the writ were sent to King's Bench to do as the writ required. It is noted that the said trespass was committed on 'Tuesday after Corpus Christi anno regni regis Ricardi Secundi quinto' but a mistake seems to have been made in the regnal year, and the incident probably occurred on 18 June 1381. A copy of Haukyn's petition is filed with the writ. The text (in French) is as follows: To our Lord the King and his council shows John Haukyn of Stifford in the county of Essex that whereas it was ordained in the parliament held at Westminster on the morrow of All Souls in the fifth year of the present King [5 Nov 1381] that all those who have been wronged and damaged in the rumour by the rebels by the burning or seizure by rebels of releases and other writings concerning land or other things will have due remedy by showing their grievances by bill to the council of our lord the king, Hugh Ive of Greysthurrok treasonably in the last rumour went with a great number of rebels to the house of tthe said John at Stifford and there by force took a release whereby the said Hugh released and quitclaimed to John Norfolk all right which he had in four acres of land and five shillings of rent. John seeks remedy and asks that Hugh should be summoned before the council of the king. |
