Notification by the abbot and prior of Burton-on-Trent and the rural dean of Repton, that following the receipt of a mandate from Pope Gregory IX, delegating them to hear the case between Tutbury Priory and those whom the monks claimed were despoil- ing them of their possessions, tithes, dues etc., Robert, vicar of Doveridge, was summoned to answer the charges.
