Petition (copy) from Robert, Abbot of the Abbey of Mary of Spineto, St Pierre-sur-Dives, to King Henry VI.
Following the resignation of Adam de Preaux as prior of Tutteberia in the diocese of Lichfield, presents Guillerimus le Daussin, William Beuseling and John Baudri as candidates for the vacancy and requests that one should be chosen and inducted.
Chapterhouse.
Endorsed

The prior of Tutbury acted as the agent in England of the Abbey of St Pierre-sur-Dives. Its properties included Modbury Priory in Devon, which was given to Eton, and this no doubt accounts for the presence of this document. William, one of the candidates named, was Prior of Modbury.
