| Description |
| Tenants of the four vills of Bowland, Slaidburn, Newton, Grindleton and West Bradford |
| King and council |
| The tenants show that they are burdened by puture in the times of several lords. Whereas each of them in times past have paid fourteen pence to the keeper of the chase of Bowland for puture, under duress they have paid each of them two shillings in the time of the earl of Lancaster and afterwards. They have a writ to enquire of this that found that the fourteen pence was the correct annual sum, and a further inquisition found the same. The tenants request that the king and council have regard for the long time that they have suffered, and order that the correct puture be levied without more. |
| Let this petition be ordered into Chancery and view the inquisitions mentioned by the petition and let justice and reason be done. |
| Bowland, [West Riding of Yorkshire]; Slaidburn, [West Riding of Yorkshire]; Newton, [West Riding of Yorkshire]; Grenilton (Grindleton), [West Riding of Yorkshire]; West Bradford, [West Riding of Yorkshire] |
| Thomas [of Lancaster], Earl of Lancaster; John Travers, justice; William de Tatham, justice; John de Lancaster, justice; Peter de Middelton, justice; William de Denom, justice |
| This can be dated to c.1331 because of the commissions and inquisition made concerning the activities of the keeper of the chase (CPR 1330-4, p.141; CIM 1307-49, no.1202); CCR 1330-3, p.355). Whilst it seems pretty clear that this petition is not the petition that provoked this examination of the keeper, the complaints made in the petition are part of the allegations made against the keeper, so it is likely that the petition is closely dated to 1331, perhaps complaining of matters resolved in 1331. |
