- Description
- A parliamentary decree (Rotuli Parliamentorum, 5 Ed. II) ordering the removal of Sir Henry de Beaumont from the King's Council and the forfeiture of the Kingdom of Man and other lands due to his taking of the island contrary to royal ordinance and giving bad counsel to the King. The decree also addresses the role of Lady de Vescy in procuring these grants and orders forfeiture of Bamburgh Castle. The text is presented in both English and Anglo-Norman French, providing insight into early 14th-century constitutional constraints on feudal grants.
