or to him who supplies his place. Whereas the king has pardoned
Thomas de Estfeld by his letters patent the suit of his peace for the death
of Robert du Celer and also the abjuration of the islands and of the
adjoining islands that he made for the death aforesaid, he, wishing to
show him further grace, orders Otto to cause to be delivered to Thomas all
the lands that belonged to him in the islands that are held of the king and
all his goods and chattels, which were taken into the king' hands by
reason of the death and abjuration, if the lands pertain to the king as

To Otto de Grandissono, keeper of the islands of Gerneseye and
Gereseye, or to him who supplies his place. Whereas a plea was
moved between Maud Bonamy and Jordan Cloyet, the younger, in
the ecclesiastical forum, concerning the contraction of a marriage
between them, and she obtained in the same forum by process of the plea
aforesaid letters to excommunicate him, and Jordan met her when she
was pregnant and carrying the said letters and, in order to take them
from her, he threw her down and carried away from her her purse with the
said letters and 16d. of black Tournois found in it, by reason of which
throwing down the child (puer) in her womb died, so that she bore a still
born (abortivum) child, and thus Jordain slew the child by accident and
not by felony or malice aforethought, and for these reasons and for no
other cause he abjured the islands and the adjoining islands, as is more
fully contained in the record of Peter le Marchaunt, now supplying Otto's
place in the islands, which the king has caused to come before him and
in the king's letters patent of pardon for the death, trespass and abjuration made to Jordan: the king, wishing to show him further favour,
orders Otto to deliver to him all the lands that belonged to him in the
islands on the day of the abjuration and that are held of the king, and
also all his goods and chattels that were taken into the king's hands for
these reasons, if the lands ought to pertain to the king as escheats and if
the goods ought to pertain to the king as forfeitures, saving to Otto the
rights pertaining to him in this behalf.

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king, on
17 July, in the thirtieth year of his reign, committed to Robert de Clifford
by letters patent [Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1301–1307, p. 43] the liberty
of the bishopric of Durham, which was taken into the king's hands by
consideration of his court before him, during pleasure, and he afterwards
by his other letters patent granted to Robert 200 marks for his maintenance
from the issues of the liberty, to be received at that rate yearly if he held
it for more or less than a year, and he ordered the sheriff of Durham to
pay this sum to Robert, and Robert has not received the said 200 marks in
full for the time that he has had the custody, as he says: the king orders the
treasurer and barons to call before them John de Buterle, then sheriff, and
to make an account with Robert in John's presence for the time aforesaid,
and to cause to be paid to him what is lacking of the said 200 marks
for the time that he has had the said custody out of the fines and amercements of the estreats delivered to them by William de Ormesby, the king's
late justice to hear and determine pleas touching the said liberty while it
was in the king's hands.
