2 .   TNA - SC 8/323/E564
Entry Type: Petition
Summary: The dean and chapter of York request clarification of their charters, as the king's ministers wrongfully enter their lands to make distraint. They also request confirmation as to where pleas involving them, the canons and their men may be held, as the city bailiffs interpret their charter to refer only to their villeins and not their other tenants. They request confirmation of Henry III's charter granting them and the archbishop the right to have a coroner in the city of York, and that none of their men or tenants be dealt with before the seneschal, marshal or clerk of the market unless their own bailiff has failed to do right. They also request licence for a pillory and tumbrel within York, to punish their tenants who breach the assizes of bread and ale.
