To Stephen de Penecestre, Walter de Helyun, and John de Cobeham,
justices to hear and determine pleas of trespass of money. Whereas all the
Jews lately charged, indicted and convicted of clipping the king's money
have now been punished with death, and certain of them have forfeited all
their goods and chattels for this reason, and are imprisoned during the
king's pleasure, and the king learns that many Christians, through hatred
of the Jews by reason of the discrepancy of the Christian faith and the
rite of the Jews and by reason of divers grievances heretofore inflicted
upon Christians by Jews, endeavour from day to day to accuse and indict
certain Jews not yet charged or indicted with trespasses of money by light
and groundless (voluntarias) accusations, charging them to their terror
with being guilty of such trespasses, in order that they may by threats of
such accusations strike terror into the Jews, and that they may extort
money from them, so that the Jews hereby are frequently put to their trial
(ad legem suam), to the manifest peril of their lives: the king wills that all
Jews who were not indicted or charged by certain suspicion with trespasses
of money before 1 May last, and who will make fine with the said justices
for the king's use at the justices' discretion, shall not be charged with such
trespasses committed before 1 May by virtue of new accusations made after
that day by Christians, but that they may have peace in this behalf for the
future; provided that Jews indicted or charged with such trespasses before
the said day shall undergo judgment before the justices according to the
form previously ordained and provided. The king accordingly orders the
justices to take such fines and to cause the premises to be done and observed
in form aforesaid. [Fœdera.] |

To the aforesaid Stephen, Walter and John, justices appointed to hear

forfeited their goods and chattels and are imprisoned as aforesaid and who
will make fine for the delivery of their bodies, may make such fines
according to the discretion of the said justices, and that Jewesses who were
the wives of condemned Jews and also the wives of Jews whose goods and
chattels are forfeited may similarly make fine, according to the discretion
of the justices and according to the quantity of the goods that their husbands
had and that are not found and are secretly deposited by the said Jewesses
and may be thus delivered by the fine from prison, provided that poor
Jewesses who were the wives of such condemned Jews and the wives of
Jews who have forfeited their goods and chattels having nothing whereby
they may be redeemed shall be delivered from prison by the justices
without ransom. The king also wills that the justices shall enquire before
Midsummer concerning the lands of such Jews that are the king's escheats
in whatsoever places they may be and for how much they may be sold, and
who will give most for them and will pay the price thereof to the king
quickly, and to certify the king fully by the said terms concerning these
matters. The king therefore orders the justices to take such fines from
the Jews and Jewesses and to do all the premises. [Ibid.] |
