Memorandum, that Sir William de Crekelad and Sir John de Norhampton, Conversi chaplains, and other Conversi exhibited a petition before the
king and his council in parliament at London, in the eighth year of his
reign, complaining of Sir Adam de Osgodeby, keeper of the house of the
Conversi, London, in this form: The said chaplains, who are charged and
sworn from their infancy to pray for the king and his ancestors, and the
other Conversi of London who are houseless (desherbergez), say that whereas
Henry III, gave in common by his charter to all Conversi and all to be
converted and housed the plot where the court of the Conversi is inhabited,
Sir Adam de Osgodeby, their keeper, ought [to allow] them their habitations in their said close, but that he keeps them out and harbours his clerks
there, and allows strangers and horses to be harboured there, and that he
has demised some of their tenements where they might be housed to strangers
for the term of three lives by their common seal without their assent, to the
prejudice of the king, to whom the tenements ought to revert after their
day: wherefore they pray that such demises shall be annulled, and that they
may have their harbourments in their said close, because if they fall ill or
become enfeebled they have no place where they may dwell or have refuge
or easement of right except in the common close specially built for them
and to be inhabitated solely by them, and as the matins and masses of the
said chaplains, of the alms of the kings their founders, are worth as much as
the pater nosters of laymen. French. |

Which petition having been exhibited, it was decided by the council that
it should be delivered to the chancellor as principal keeper of all the hospitals
or almshouses founded of the king's alms, so that he might do what he should
think fit concerning it. Having inspected the petition, the chancellor sent
Robert de Bardelby and Robert de Askeby, clerks of the chancery, to the
house of the Conversi to enquire into the above allegations, and to certify
him concerning the same. The said Robert and Robert, having called
before them the aforesaid parties on Monday the feast of St. Tiburtius and
Valerian, in the chapel of the Conversi, made inquisition by all the Conversi
dwelling in the house and others then present; whereby it was found, by
the oath of the Conversi, that the said William never had a fixed residence
within the house, but that he had access to the house in the time of Sir
Henry le Aumener, late keeper of the same, sometimes passing the night in
the house, but that the said keeper prohibited him from dwelling there or
being received therein, and deprived him of his wages, on account of divers
crimes whereof he defamed the whole community of the Conversi then conversant in the house, and whereof he accused them by letters to the keeper,
all the Conversi having afterwards purged themselves of the same before the
keeper. They also say that Adam, the present keeper, allowed the said
William his wages of his special grace against the will and assent of the
Conversi. They say that he is not fit to dwell within the house, and that
they will not permit this in any wise, and, in answer to the question
whether he was fit to receive his wages, they say that this depends upon the
grace of the keeper. As to the two tenements, they say that they were
demised by the common assent of all the Conversi and almost (quasi)
against the will of the keeper, and that William assented and wrote the
notes of the demise, and that they were demised for the profit of the house,
as they are demised at a higher form than before, and the tenants have to do
necessary repairs, which would have to be done at the cost of the house
if they were not so demised. Nothing is done against the said John,
because he did not sue. And the inquisitors assigned to William the
morrow as day before the chancellor to hear and receive answer and
judgment. Afterwards the chancellor decided that William should have
nothing of the contents of his petition, but that he should be remitted to
his keeper to be castigated for his false complaint according to the keeper's
discretion. And the chancellor ordered that the present memorandum
should be enrolled in the rolls of chancery, and should be placed upon the
files amongst the memoranda of the chancery. |

made in the time of the fathers of the two kings and in the present king's time

obtain any result from the ministers of the king of Castile's father; for
which reason the king proceeded to do justice to the said Arnald. The
king, however, wishing to encourage communion between his subjects and
those of the king of Castile, wills that all merchants of Castile shall come
into his realm until Christmas next under his special protection without
having their goods arrested at the suit of Arnald or others. He requests
the king of Castile to send in the meantime an envoy to this realm to treat
with those whom the king shall appoint concerning the treaties, and to
complete them and to reform what has been attempted contrary to them;
otherwise the king will be obliged to do justice to his subjects. [Fœdera.] |
