Dear John ~ Below is an abstract of a Common Pleas lawsuit dated 1525 involving Sir Edward Darell, Knt. [husband of Alice, widow of Edmund Stanhope], and Richard Stanhope, Esq., of Haughton, Nottinghamshire. Yesterday I reported that Sir Edward and Richard were earlier involved in an agreement dated 1514. In 1525 Edward Darell, Knt. sued Richard Stanhop, Esq., of Haughton, Nottinghamshire in the Court of Common Pleas regarding a debt of £100.
