| Published source (may be more than one) | English summary taken from the TNA catalogue entry, compiled as part of the AHRC project 'Medieval Petitions: A Catalogue of Exchequer, Chancery and Gascon petitions in the National Archives', led by W. Mark Ormrod (2006-7) |
| Text (English translation) | The Prior of the Hospital of St John of Jerusalem in England states that he is distrained in the Exchequer for 15s. for the farm of two forges built by the Templars in the middle of the high road of Fleet Street, which were lately completely destroyed by the insurrection (of 1381), so that the prior has not been able to have any profit from them, nor can he nor will he be able to have such profit, because they cannot be rebuilt. He requests release and pardon of the farm, which is due only to the king and leviable by the sheriffs of London. Response: The Prior is to sue urgently, as he ought, to have permission to rebuild the sites where the forges were, and when they have been rebuilt, he is to be obliged to pay the due rent; but in the meantime he and his successors are to be discharged of the said 15s. |
| General Information | [1383] CCR 1381-5, p.390 is dated at Westminster, 6 July 1383, and CCR 1381-5, pp.593-4 is dated at Westminster, 6 December 1384: so this petition can probably be dated to 1383, and the later SC 8/20/987 to 1384. see SC 89/20/987 for another petition from the same petitioner. |
