Description: Petitioners: Margaret Marshal, Countess of Norfolk, John de Hastings, Earl of Pembroke, and William de Beauchamp, knight. Name(s): Marshal, Countess of Norfolk; de Hastings, Earl of Pembroke; de Beauchamp, Margaret; John; William. Addressees: King. Nature of request: The petitioners state that, by a statute of 16 June 1384, Gaunt and Burley were granted the wardship of the lands formerly held in dower or for her life by Countess Anne, at which time her heir, the Earl of Pembroke, was married to Gaunt's daughter, Elizabeth.

Nature of endorsement: Let this petition be sent to chancery, call those who should be called and do right no this matter. People mentioned: John [of Gaunt], King of Castile and Leon, Duke of Lancaster; Richard Burlee (Burley), knight; Anne [de Hastings], countess of Pembroke; John de Hastings, Earl of Pembroke; Elizabeth [de Hastings], daughter of John of Gaunt; [Edward III, King of England].
