At Easter term 1426 Penne brought a suit in the court of common pleas against the important Dorset landowner Robert Lovell* of Rampisham, Lord Lovell’s brother, who had sat with him in the Parliament of 1422 (as one of the knights of the shire for their home county). Lovell was summoned to the court to make answer that summer, but no further details are recorded about this particular suit, which was just one of the many that the chronically-indebted Lovell was then facing.2 Ibid. iii. 632-4; CP40/661, rot. 50d.
