To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king lately
after the death of Richard son of Alan, late earl of Arundel, ordered John
Abel, then sheriff of Sussex, to take into the king's hands for certain debts
in which the earl was bound to the exchequer at his death all the goods
and chattels that belonged to the earl in the manor of Burne and his
other lands in that county, which were in the king's hands by reason of
the earl's death in the name of wardship by reason of the minority of his
heir, which goods and chattels John delivered with the county to John
Hernays, to whom the king committed that county after John Abel, and the
king afterwards granted the wardship of the manor and lands to Amadeus,
count of Savoy, in part satisfaction for certain debts due to him from the
king, to have during the heir's minority, and the king, wishing to hasten
the satisfaction for his own discharge, ordered John Hernays, then sheriff
of that county, now deceased, to deliver all the goods and chattels aforesaid,
which he had received from John Abel, to the count or to Peter de Cusancia,
his attorney, and John Hernays delivered the goods and chattels, which
were extended at 61l. 15s. 4d., to Peter, as is shown to the king by his
executors: the king orders the treasurer and barons, if they ascertain that
it is so, to discharge the executors of John's will of the goods and chattels,
which they exact from them by summons of the exchequer. It is provided
that Amadeus or Peter shall be charged with the goods and chattels to the
value aforesaid. |
April 9.
Sandford. |
To Walter de Glouc[estria], escheator beyond Trent. Order not to
intermeddle further with the manor of Little Badewe, co. Essex, or with
the other lands whereof Roger le Gras, deceased, and Joan, late his wife,
were jointly enfeoffed and which they held jointly at his death and which
the escheator has taken into the king's hands by reason of his death, or
with the issues received thence since they were taken into the king's
hands, saving the king's right therein when he may wish to speak
concerning it and saving the right of others, as the king learns by
inquisitions concerning the lands that belonged to Roger, who held of the
heir of Philip Burnel, tenant in chief, a minor in the king's wardship,
taken at the prosecution of Joan, late the wife of Roger, and afterwards at
the prosecution of Nicholas le Gras, brother and heir of Roger, and again
at the prosecution of Nicholas and Joan and in their presence, that Roger
and Joan held jointly at his death the manor of Little Badewe of the gift
of the said Nicholas, who enfeoffed them thereof, to hold to them and the
heirs of their two bodies, with provision that if Roger died without an
heir begotten between them Joan should hold the manor for her life, and
that the manor is held of the said heir as of the manor of Borham, which
belonged to Philip, by the service of 6d. yearly; and the king deferred
delivering the manor to Joan because Roger did fealty to him after the
death of Ralph le Gras, his brother, of whom he was the heir, for all the
lands that Ralph held by knight service of the heir aforesaid in that
county, as appears to the king by inspection of the rolls of his chancery,
and also because Joan did not come into court to demand the manor
according to custom; and it appears to the king by the inquisition taken
at Nicholas's suit and by inspection of the rolls of his chancery that the
manor of Borham was assigned by the king to Maud, late the wife of Philip,
as part of her dower. By C. |
April 13.
Inverkeithing. |
To Master Richard de Havering', escheator this side Trent. Order not
to intermeddle with certain tenements in the town of Hedon that belonged
to John Passemer, tenant in chief as of the honour of Albemarle, which is
in the king's hands, which tenements the escheator has taken into the
king's hands by reason of the lands that John held at his death of him as
of the honour aforesaid, as the king learns by an inquisition taken by
the escheator that the town of Hedon is a free borough, and that all and
singular having tenements therein, whether they be outsiders (forinseci)
or dwelling within the town, may bequeath their tenements there, both
those inherited and those acquired, to whomsoever they will, and that as
well the burgesses as the outsiders have been wont to bequeath their
tenements from the time of King Henry, father of King John,
whether the said outsiders were at 'lot' and 'scot' with the burgesses
of the town or not, and that the said John bequeathed certain
tenements in that town of his inheritance and certain tenements that
were of his purchase to Margaret, his daughter, wife of Hugh Sturmy,
to have to her and her heirs of the chief lords of the fee by the services
therefor due and accustomed. By C. |

exacted from him for the service of three knights' fees that Maud ought to
have done to the king in his army of Wales in the tenth year of his reign,
which she then acknowledged to the king for that army, as the king lately
granted to the said William, deceased, what pertained to him for the said
service, as contained in his letters patent. |
April 13.
Inverkeithing. |
To the same. Whereas King Henry, the king's progenitor, granted by
his charter, which the king has inspected, to the weavers of York in the
city of York, of whatsoever fees they might be, their guild and the customs
and liberties pertaining to their craft (officium), so that no one but them
shall make dyed or rayed cloth in the whole of Yorkshire, except themselves
in York or others of the same craft in Beverley, Kirkeby, Malton, Tresk,
and Scardeburgh and other demesne boroughs of the king, so that the said
weavers shall render 10l. yearly to the king by reason of their liberty
aforesaid; and it is shown to the king by the weavers of the city that
divers men in divers places in that county elsewhere than in that city
and than in the other towns and demesne boroughs aforesaid make dyed
and rayed cloth, so that the weavers in the said city are unable to render
10l. yearly to the exchequer, as they are bound to do: the king orders the
treasurer and barons to cause inquiry to be made by all means that they
shall deem fit in what towns and places other than in the city and other
towns and demesne boroughs aforesaid the weaving craft of such cloth is
plyed, and by whom, and in what manner, and to cause all those whom
they shall find plying such craft elsewhere than in the city, towns and
demesne boroughs aforesaid to desist from plying such craft henceforth.
It is provided that those who shall ply the said craft in the city, towns
and demesne boroughs aforesaid shall answer to the king at the exchequer
for the said 10l. yearly. |
|
To the same. Whereas the king lately, by mainprise found by Thomas
de Swyneford before him that he would find him in aid of his war in
Scotland an armed man with a barded (cooperto) horse during the war,
pardoned him and Margaret, his wife, their trespass in entering by the
feoffment of Norman Darcy, deceased, without the king's licence certain
lands in Noketon and Dunston, co. Lincoln, which are held of the king in
chief, and which were taken into the king's hands by reason of the trespass
aforesaid, and the king ordered the sheriff of Lincoln, on 10 July, in the
thirtieth year of his reign, to deliver the lands to Thomas and Margaret if
they were in the king's hands solely for this reason, as appears by
inspection of the rolls of chancery: the king orders the treasurer and
barons not to molest Thomas and Margaret or the sheriff by reason of the
issues of the lands after the said 10 July. |
May 1.
Stirling. |
To the same. Order to cause the abbot of St. Mary's, York, to be
acquitted of 100l. in which he made fine with the king before them for
licence to appropriate to him and his house the church of Donecastre, in
the diocese of York, which is of his patronage, as he has satisfied William
de Sancto Paulo, Arnald de Sancto Martino, and certain of their fellows,
citizens and merchants of Bayonne for this sum, as William has acknowledged for him and his fellows before the treasurer and barons, the king
having granted this sum to them in part payment of 500l. in aid of their
costs and expenses in a prosecution made by them against William de
Saut, a late citizen of Bayonne, deceased, concerning certain goods and
chattels of his that were adjudged to the king, as appears by his letters
patent to the said merchants. |
|
Like letters in favour of the prior of Boulton in Craven for 50l. by
which he made fine before the treasurer and barons for licence to
appropriate to him and his house the church of Preston in Craven, in the

To Roger de Hegham, Walter de Glouc[estria], and John de Sandale,
appointed to assess and levy the king's tallage in the city of London and
its suburbs. Order to cause John le Leutur, citizen of that city, to be
acquitted of the tallage and to release any distress that they may have
levied for it, as the king, at the instance of Edmund, his brother, and
of Henry de Lascy, earl of Lincoln, and by the assent of the citizens of
that city, has granted by his letters patent to John that he should be quit
during his life of all manner of tallages that might be exacted by the
king or his heirs from him by reason of his lands or rents or other goods
and wares within the city. |
May 4.
Stirling. |
To the same. As Philip de Beauveys, king's serjeant, asserts that he is
quit by the king's charter of the tallage aforesaid, the king orders them
to inspect the charter, and to supersede levying the tallage from Philip
and to permit him to be acquitted thereof if they find by inspection of the
charter that he is thus exempt. |

To the bailiffs of Lenne. Whereas the king lately, at the suit of Ralph
Gedge and John de Pycheford, burgesses and merchants of Scardeburgh
—suggesting to him that two of their ships with the goods and chattels
in them to the value of 200l. were driven by contrary winds to the port
of Northbern, within the land and power of the king of Norway, and were
unjustly arrested by Erling (Helenger) Hildesone, his bailiff at Northbern,
and are detained by him—requested the said king by his letters to cause
the ships with the goods and chattels aforesaid to be restored to the
merchants and to cause justice to be done to them in this behalf; and
the said king has done nothing in the matter, but has wholly failed to do
justice to them, as the king learns from their complaint and by the
letters patent of his men of Scardeburgh sealed with their common seal;
the king therefore has ordered the bailiffs of Boston to cause goods and
wares of the men and merchants of the land or power of the king of
Norway found within their town to be arrested to the value of 100l., and
he orders the bailiffs of Lenne to cause goods and wares to the value of
100l. to be arrested in like manner, and to cause them to be safely kept
until otherwise ordered, certifying him of their proceedings. |

To John Wogan, justiciary of Ireland, or to him who supplies his place.
Whereas Ralph de Monte Hermerii, earl of Gloucester and Hertford, and
Joan, his wife, the king's son, and certain of their ministers of their liberty
of Kilkenni were lately charged (occasionati) and molested before the
justiciary concerning the taking of John le Blunt, William le Crockar',
Adam le Crockar', and Walter le Blunt and their imprisonment in Ralph
and Joan's prison of Kilkenny, and they had a day to answer herein before
the justiciary in fifteen days from Michaelmas, in the thirty-first year of
the king's reign; and the king, on 16 September, in the said year,
wishing to favour the earl and countess because the earl was then staying
with him in his service in Scotland, ordered the justiciary to supersede
proceedings in this matter and to respite it until the quinzaine of Easter
last, and if by chance it had been proceeded in anything touching this
matter after the said 16 September to the damage or prejudice of the earl
and countess or their ministers aforesaid or the injury of their liberty
aforesaid, to cause the matter to be replaced in the same state as it was in
on that day in respite until the said quinzaine: the king, wishing to show
further favour to the earl and Joan because the earl is staying with him
in Scotland, orders the justiciary to supersede this matter entirely and to
respite it in the same condition as it was in on the said 16 September
until the quinzaine of the Purification, and if by chance it has been
proceeded in anything touching this matter after the said 16 September to
the damage or prejudice of the earl and countess or their ministers
aforesaid or the injury of their liberty aforesaid, to cause the matter to be
replaced in the same condition as it was in on the said 16 September
under such respite until the quinzaine aforesaid. By p.s. |
