To Didacus Lupi de Haro, lord of Biscay (Viscaye). The king has
received his letters, containing amongst other things a request that the
king would cause restitution to be made to certain men and vassals of
Didacus and of his lordship, of whom and of their names the letters make
mention, their goods and wares taken in a sloop (calepo) by one of the
king's men called Hugh de Cressingham within the king's lordship in
Wales. To this the king has caused answer to be made that Hugh, by
whom the said men and vassals say the goods and wares were thus taken,
died some time ago (jam diu est) in Scotland, and the king is unable to
find by any inquisition whose hands the said goods and wares aforesaid
came to except a merchant of Lucca, who secretly left the king's realm
and lordship and went home by reason of many trespasses. The king,
however, desiring to provide for indemnity of the said men and vassals
out of consideration for Didacus, bearing in mind that Didacus is bound
to him in a certain sum of money, which he received some time since
from the king, as the king believes he will not have forgotten, desires him
to satisfy the men and vassals from that money up to the sum of 350l.
sterling, and the king will cause them and others of Didacus's lordship,
provided that the king be ascertained that they are of the same, and that
full faith be made to the king by Didacus's letters patent, to be made
secure (assecurari) within the king's lordship, according to the request of
Didacus. |

To the archbishop of Tours or to his commissaries or commissary.
Whereas the king lately, during the voidance of the church of York by the
death of J. the late archbishop, the church being then in the king's
hands, conferred upon John de Drokenesford, his clerk, the prebend of
Massam in its entirety, as pertained to the king in full right, which
prebend Bogo de Clar[e], deceased, held, and which the king finds was
divided after his death into three portions by the said archbishop without
asking the king's consent, and the king caused John to be inducted into
corporal possession by the chapter of that church, according to the custom;
and whereas John after induction enjoyed the possession of the prebend
peacefully and quietly and continuously for the two preceding years,
John de Columpna, son of Landulph de Calumpna (sic), subsequently
suggesting to pope B[oniface] VIII that the prebend was due to Landulph
by the provision of pope Nicholas IV and was void, saying nothing of the
king's right by suppression of the truth, obtained from pope B[oniface]
letters apostolic to the archbishop of Tours and certain colleagues of his,
as it is said, to induct him or his proctor in possession of the aforesaid
prebend and to defend him after induction; which, if carried into effect,
would result in the weakening of the king's royal right and his
disinheritance. The king, being unable to tolerate with equanimity
the diminution of his crown and royal dignity, as indeed he ought
not to do, inhibits the archbishop from attempting or causing to be
attempted anything in this matter that may redound to the king's disinheritance or to the prejudice of his royal right, and from proceeding in
any way to the execution of this affair by himself or any others without
consulting the king, lest it shall behove the king to apply another remedy
concerning this. [Prynne, Records, iii, p. 783.] |

Reginald de Kernik and Jocelin de Sancto Aluno acknowledge that they

To the sheriff of Buckingham. Whereas the king has had, has, and
will have, with the help of God, a firm purpose and goodwill to redress
all the misdeeds, exactions (purprises) and oppressions made to the
damage and grievance of his people by his justices, foresters, verderers,
and the other ministers of his forests in the realm of England; he has
appointed Richard, bishop of London, Walter, bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, John de Garenne, earl of Surrey, Henry de Lacy, earl of Lincoln,
Robert le fiz Wauter, and William le Latimer the elder (le Pere) to enquire
into and examine the deeds of his ministers aforesaid throughout his entire
realm, in such manner that they, or five or four of them, shall go through
all the forests and shall survey and learn by examination and inquest and
in all other suitable manners concerning the deeds of the king's said
ministers and concerning those who went some time ago to make
perambulations (puralees), and whether anything be exacted (purpris) by
the king's said ministers or other oppression be made to the grievance of
the king's people. The king therefore commands the sheriff to cause to
come before the aforesaid six, or five or four of them, at certain days and
places that they shall cause to be made known to him, such and so many
knights and other free and lawful men of his bailiwick by whom the truth
of the said matters may be best enquired into and known. French.

Memorandum, that on Monday, 3 November, the king granted at Durham
(Dureme) that Master John Lovel should have of his gift the first
prebend of the value of a hundred or a hundred and twenty marks
yearly or more up to eighty or a hundred marks that shall become void
in England or in Ireland of the king's gift, and that after this Sir John
de Cendale shall be provided with a church or a prebend of a hundred
marks by the grant that the king had previously made to him. And the
king ordered that this memorandum shall be registered in his wardrobe,

To the bishop of Coutances. The king learns from Master Robert de
Leysset, his clerk, that although the king lately presented him to the
bishop to the church of St. Peter Port (de Portu) in the island of
Gernes[eye], which was void and pertaining to the king's donation by
reason of the lands of the abbot of Marmoutier being in his hands, the
bishop refused to admit him to the church, and asserted that the collation
thereto had devolved upon him by lapse of time. Since in such cases
time does not run against the king or against those presented by him, in
accordance with the prerogative of his royal dignity, whose rights he
wishes to maintain and to cause to be observed to the best of his power,
as he is bound to do, he inhibits the bishop, under pain of forfeiture of
everything that he has under the king's lordship, from attempting
anything that may redound to the king's prejudice in this behalf in any
way, and from presuming to confer the said church upon this occasion by
reason of the lapse of time, but rather to admit the said clerk to it on
this occasion without further delay, in accordance with the contents of
the king's previous letters directed to the bishop in this behalf. |

To the keeper of the islands of Gernes[eye] and Geres[eye]. Order not

obtaining the church in accordance with the king's presentation aforesaid. |
