To the same. Order to deliver to Isabella, late the wife of Richard de
Bukesgate, deceased, the manor of Westuderle and the issues of the same
by him received, as it appears by inquisition that the said Richard and
Isabella jointly acquired the said manor from Richard de Cardevile, who
held it of the late king, and that she continued her seisin thereof together
with her husband until his death, and that the manor is held of the king
in chief by the service of finding the king a horseman with haqueton
(aketon), 'hauberk,' sword and knife for forty days at their charge, rendering
yearly 5s. by the hands of the sheriff of Southampton, and as it appears by
certificate from the treasurer and barons of the exchequer that the said
Richard made fine with the late king in 40 marks to have pardon of his
trespass in entering the manor without the late king's licence, the king
having taken fealty of the said Isabella. |

To the bishop of Norwich's bailiffs at Lynne. Whereas the king lately
commanded them to arrest in that town the two ships of Snarri and
Baarde (Borde) of Falkestede, Norway, and other goods of Norwegian
merchants to the value of 95l., on account of a robbery lately committed
upon Richard de Fakenham and Nicholas his brother, burgesses of Lynne,
in Norway by certain men of that country of a ship and goods to the value
of 175l., and because the king of Norway had failed to do them justice as
requently requested by the king, and they have certified the king that they
have arrested the same; and they were ordered to release them and
deliver them to the owners to make their profit thereof, taking from them
sufficient security to pay the said 95l. to the said Richard and Nicholas in
the quinzaine of Easter last past, if they ought to pertain to them; the king
now, because the said merchants of Norway have not hitherto shewn
reason why the goods remaining in the hands of the said bailiffs as
security should not be delivered, in accordance with the law merchant, to
the said Richard and Nicholas, orders them to deliver the same 95l. in
goods and money to the said Richard and Nicholas without delay, taking

said merchants of Norway shall implead them. |

To the bishop of Norwich's bailiffs at Lynne. On the complaint of
Richard de Fakenham and Nicholas his brother, burgesses and merchants
of Lynne, that they lately sent a ship of theirs called 'Welifare de Lenn','
laden with divers goods to the value of 613l. and more to Norway to trade
there, Anundr (Omundrum) Daunz, the king of Norway's bailiff and
minister, arrested the said ship and her tackle (attilio), of the value 610l.,
and took from it, against the will of the master and sailors, the said goods
and a chest of the said merchants, together with 20l. therein, and detained
the ship, tackle, and goods from them, and took and imprisoned John and
Gocelin, sailors and servants of the said merchants, and detained them in
prison until the said John died and the said Gocelin made a fine of 12l.
with the said bailiff for his release, the king frequently requested the king
of Norway to do justice to the said merchants for the said ship, tackle,
and goods, or for their value, and for the said 32l., the total whereof is
175l.; to which requests the king of Norway has not replied, and has not
done them justice, as appears by the testimony of the mayor and community
of the borough of Lynne by their letters patent; wherefore the king
commands the said bailiffs to arrest goods of the men and merchants of
the said king of Norway within their bailiwick to the value of 80l., and to
safely keep them until the said Richard and Nicholas have been satisfied
for that sum, in part payment of the said 175l., or until otherwise ordered;

merchants of that country to the value of the remaining 95l., lately arrested
by them at his order. |

bridge of Bladene towards Oxford as it is enclosed with hedges (haiis) and
ditches; which plot the king learns from an inquisition taken by Walter
de Gloucester, escheator this side Trent, is annexed to the said wood,
and was enclosed with the said wood as an appurtenance, and was held
in severalty as a wood from the time of king John, until William de
Rudeston, the late king's bailiff of Wodestok, ejected the said abbess and
nuns therefrom, asserting that the late king ought to have common of
pasture in that plot by reason of his manor of Bladene, it being found by
the said inquisition that neither the late king nor his progenitors, kings of
England, were wont to have common of pasture in that plot at any time
since the said grant before the said ejectment by reason of the manor of
Bladene or by any other reason. |

Yorkshire, and is unable owing to infirmity to come into the Bench, to
receive from her a recognisance of what right she claims in the said manor,

the said Amice after such recognisance has been made shall attorn herself

To the bailiffs of John de Britannia, earl of Richmond, at Boston.
Whereas on the complaint of Henry Danyel, merchant of Kyngeston
on Hull, that one Hertowe Naghel, of Kampen (Camp'), of the power of
the bishop of Utrecht (Ugtrhed), and other malefactors of that town
violently entered a ship of the said Henry's laden with ashes, boards, flax,
pitch, tar, and other merchandise, to the value of 65l., anchored, on
account of contrary winds, on her voyage from the parts of 'Estland' to
England in a road (rada) called 'Halanland' in the sea before Hamburgh', and took and carried away all the goods aforesaid, the late and the
present kings requested the said bishop to exhibit justice to the said
Henry in this matter; but the said bishop has altogether failed to do him
justice, although the said Henry has frequently besought him to do so, as
appears by the testimony of the burgesses and community of Kyngeston on
Hull sealed with the seal of the community of the said town; by reason
whereof the king commanded the said bailiffs to arrest all goods of the
men and merchants of the said town of Kampen and elsewhere in the power
of the said bishop, and to safely guard them until the said Henry should
be satisfied for his said goods and his damages; by virtue whereof they
arrested the goods of one Jacob de Fandermuth, merchant, to the value
of 50l.; now the said Jacob alleges before the king that he is of the
power of the king of Almain and not of the power of the said bishop, the
said Henry alleging the contrary; the said Henry and Jacob, to avoid
expense in this behalf, have agreed that the said Jacob shall pay the
aforesaid Henry 13 marks in part satisfaction of 65l. and the damages
aforesaid, so that the said Henry shall have his suit against others for
recovering the remainder of the sum and damages; the king therefore
commands the said bailiffs to arrest goods of other men and merchants of
the said town of Kampen and elsewhere of the power of the said bishop to
the value of the remainder of the said sum, and to keep them safely until
the said Henry have been satisfied, and to release the goods of the said
Jacob, certifying the king of what they have done herein, whose and what
goods they have arrested, and the value of the same. |
