king's arrival in England the demand for 40 marks upon Cok son of Hagin,
a Jew of London, for the king's use, by reason of the debts wherein

[Vacated.] |
| May 8. |
To the same. Order to permit Gilbert de Clare, earl of Gloucester and
Hertford, to hold four and a half knights' fees in Badel[e] and Brokes
until the king's arrival, by permission of the king's subjects supplying his
place, as the king understands from the escheator and others that Richard
de Clare, earl of Gloucester and Hertford, father of the said Gilbert,
and Gilbert were in seisin of the homage of Geoffrey de Badel[e] for the
said fees until Geoffrey's death, which fees the escheator took into the
king's hands by reason of the lands that Geoffrey held in chief. |

| May 7. |
To the same. Order to respite until the king's arrival in England, by
permission of his subjects supplying his place in England, the demand
upon the villeins of the manor of Neuport for 10l. 11s. 0d., which he exacts
from them according to an extent of their boon-works made surreptitiously and not well by his sub-escheator, which sum they were not wont
to pay at any time to R. de Somery or other lords of the manor. |
|
To the same, or to his sub-escheator in co. Essex. Repeated order to
cause Peter [de] Bezill[es], nephew and heir of Emery de Bezill[es], tenant
in chief, to have seisin of a messuage and a carucate of land in Dagenham,
whereof Emery was seised in his demesne as of fee at his death, and which
he held of the abbess of Berking. |
|
To William de Boyvill, escheator beyond Trent. Order to permit
Robert de Ros, son and heir of Robert de Ros of Werk, to have seisin of
the castle and manor of Werk, together with the issues thereof, until the
king's arrival in England, by permission of the king's subjects supplying
his place, so that he may then answer for the issues to the king, if they
pertain to him, as the king learns by the testimony of trustworthy men
that Robert son of Robert held the castle and manor of Robert de Ros, son
and heir of William de Ros of Werk, of the gift and feoffment of Robert
de Ros, father of William and Robert, and it does not appear to the king
that Robert held anything of him in chief whereby the custody of the
castle and manor ought or might pertain to him. The escheator is ordered
to enquire meanwhile whether Robert held anything at his death in chief,
and where, and how much, and by what service. |
| May 12. |
To the bailiffs of Basingestok. Order to replevy to Hugh de Chasteyn
and Peter Eynolph until the octaves of Midsummer next their mills, which
were taken into the king's hands by reason of certain trespasses charged
upon them by Roger de Wauton and John de Swyneford, appointed to the
office of the king's market, the custody whereof was committed to the
bailiffs by Roger and John, so that in the meantime the cause of their
taking into the king's hands may be more fully known, and that justice
may be done thereafter herein. |
|
To R. de Clyfford, escheator this side Trent. Order to cause the lands
of Elizabeth de Monemuth[a], formerly the wife of John de Monemuth[a],
tenant in chief, to be delivered to her, together with the issues thereof, and
to leave her in peace until further orders, by the permission of the king's
subjects supplying his place in England, as the late king granted to Baldwin
de Villa the marriage of Elizabeth, or any fine made with him for the
marriage, or the forfeiture pertaining to the king therefor in case she
married without the king's licence, and she satisfied Baldwin for her
marriage, as the king learns by the testimony of Queen Eleanor his mother,
and the sheriff afterwards took Elizabeth's lands into the king's hands
because she afterwards married. |
| May 14. |
To the same. Order to deliver to Nicholas Corbet and Margery his wife,
kinswoman of Richard de Munfichet, tenant in chief, and co-heiress of a
third of his inheritance, the following rent and advowson, which were
assigned to them as their purparty of a third of Richard's inheritance,
according to the partition made in the king's court of the lands that Joyce,
Richard's wife, held in dower of Richard's inheritance: 9l. 14s. 6¾d.
yearly of land and rent in Hoyland and Westhammes, with the advowson
of Hoyland church, so that they and their parceners of the said third part
shall have from the purparty of Hugh de Laval and Matilda his wife, their
parceners, the value of the chief messuage of Hoyland, and if more or less
have been assigned to them than pertains to them, the king will cause the
messuage to be taken into his hands with the other lands and will cause
equal portions to be made between the heirs. |
| May 16. |
To the same. Like order to deliver to Nicholas and Margery the
following knights' fees, assigned to them in like manner: three fees that
John Muschet holds in Lechesworth, Weudington (sic), Walwenwik, Wilewe,
Horesmede; half a fee that the heirs of Richard de Dovorr[ia] hold in
Witham; a quarter of a fee that the heirs of Hugh de Bolebek hold in
Barenton; and a moiety of half a fee that Roger le Venur holds in
Lamburn. |
May 17.
St. Martin's-le-Grand, London. |
To the sheriff of Oxford. Order to cause the lands of David de Effinton
to be replevied to Ela de Somery, his wife, as the king has given him a day
at the quinzaine of Midsummer next to come before him or his subjects
supplying his place in England to answer concerning certain things charged
upon him. |
|
To Master R. de Clifford, escheator this side Trent. Order not to hinder
Nicholas le Archer from receiving the customs and services that he ought
to have of right, from half a virgate of land in Sibertoft, as it appears by
inspection of the rolls of the exchequer that the said land, which Thomas
de Rewell, deceased, held, was alienated without the late king's licence,
and that it was afterwards arrented at 2s. 6d. at the exchequer by reason
of this alienation, and that the land is held of the serjeanty of Sibertoft,
which Nicholas holds in chief of the king. |

cause the defects of the walls of Arundel castle to be repaired where
necessary.
By R. Burnell. |
May 30.
Westminster. |
To the same. Whereas the king learns by inquisition taken by Ralph de
Hengham, in the presence of the archdeacon of Chichester, that from time
out of mind, as often as the men of the abbey of Fecamp were amerced in
the hundred of Palling' for their defaults or for wrong done to the lord of
Arundel, or to his men, or for assizes not observed, or for any other
cause, those who were put in mercy were wont to find security (vadiare) for
their amercement to the bailiffs of the lord of Arundel, and the amercement was wont to be taxed afterwards before the bailiff of Arundel, in the
presence of the bailiffs of the abbot of Fecamp, by lawful men of the
hundred, and was wont to be afterwards levied by the abbot's bailiffs and
to be received for the abbot's use, and that all the abbots of Fécamp had
such seisin hitherto both in the time of the lords of Arundel and in the
time when the kings of England had the custody of the honour of Arundel,
and that 40s. that are exacted yearly from the abbot's men were wont
(solent) to be paid during the whole time of William de Albiniaco, formerly
earl of Arundel, [by] the abbot's men to the said earl's bailiff in the
hundred of Palling' at the term of Hokeday, and that after William's
death Hugh de Albiniaco, his son and heir, was in the same seisin all his
time, receiving the said 40s. as pertaining to his hundred of Palling', and
that after Hugh's death, John son of Alan, one of Hugh's heirs, to whom
the castle of Arundel with the hundred was assigned, was in the same
seisin all his time until a year before his death, when the abbot's men withdrew themselves from rendering the rent, so that they have paid no rent
since then, neither in the time of John son of Alan, who last died, nor in
the time of the late king, to whom the custody of John's lands came: the
king therefore orders Robert to permit the abbot and his church to have
the same estate as regards the amercements aforesaid as they had in the
time of the lords of Arundel and especially in the time of the said (sic) John
son of John son of Alan, the last lord of Arundel, until the king or his council
shall otherwise provide, and until otherwise ordered, superseding until the
king's arrival in England distraints for the said 40s., which John, the last lord
of Arundel, did not receive, in order that provision may then be made for
doing justice in this behalf. |
