process of the suit before them by reason whereof the duel is wagered, he
orders them to have the aforesaid inquisitions together with the record and
process and all other things concerning the inquisitions and the record and
process aforesaid before the king in their own persons at Westminster on

To William de Estdene, treasurer of Ireland, Robert Bagot, and Walter
de la Haye, escheator of Ireland. Whereas the king is not going to parts

not to omit, by reason of the duel wagered before them in Ireland between
William de Vescy and John son of Thomas, as they have signified to the
king, to cause inquisitions to be made speedily concerning the complaints
made by the said John and others of those parts before the king at Westminster in the last parliament concerning divers trespasses committed
upon them in those parts by William, in accordance with the power
granted to them by the king. The king wills that the treasurer, Robert
and Walter together with William and John shall be before the king at
Westminster on the morrow of Holy Trinity, concerning these affairs and
inquisitions; wherefore he wills that they shall warn William and John to
be there at that day, and also that they shall appoint the day for the duel to
be before the king at Westminster in the same state in which the matter
was adjourned before them, so that William and John shall be there in
their own persons to do and receive what the king's court shall consider.
The king wills that in the meantime there shall be no proceedings in
anything touching the duel until they have come before him and he shall
have ordained his pleasure as he shall see to be conformable to reason.
They shall appoint by the consent of all three of them some approved
man of that land who shall be suitable to execute the office of justiciary
until their return to Ireland, or until the king shall make ordinance in
this behalf. The king wills that they shall have before him at the said
day of the duel the record and process of this matter. |
