To the bailiffs of Lenne. Whereas in the parliament at Staunford, in the

Christian de Raphurst, knight, and other envoys of William, count of
Hainault, Holland, and Zeeland, and lord of Friesland, for the settlement of
disputes between the subjects of the king and of the count arising from
robberies and arrests on land and sea made upon both sides, that the envoys
should first of all find security to Walter le Keu of Lincoln and certain
fellows of his, merchants of this realm, to satisfy them for 954l., and to
Richard Wak and John Wope and their fellows, of this realm, to satisfy
them for 259l., for their goods and wares seized and carried away in Zeeland
by men of the count's power, and the count bound himself for these sums
and for 87l. that Robert Elys of Great Yarmouth paid to the said envoys of
the count in the parliament aforesaid as a loan in order to expedite the
count's affairs, by his letters patent to the said Robert in 1,300l. sterling,
to be paid to Robert at certain terms, so that Robert should satisfy the
aforesaid merchants on behalf of the count and his men; the count afterwards, upon understanding from the aforesaid merchants that they had not
been satisfied by Robert for the debts due to them, ordained, with the
common assent and consent of his subjects, that the whole of the aforesaid
sum should be collected and levied from the merchants, fishermen, and
mariners of his dominion coming at any time of the year to English ports,
as contained in the count's letters patent to the king; and the count sent
Walter le Keu of Lincoln and Henry Rud Budel, burgess of Dordrecht, to
the king's presence to collect and levy the aforesaid sum, praying that the
bond for 1,300l. made to the aforesaid Robert should be restored to the
count; and in the parliament at Lincoln in the quinzaine of St. Hilary, in
the ninth year of the king's reign, after deliberation with certain of his
council and with the aforesaid envoys concerning this request and after
examination of the accounts between Robert and Walter and his fellows of the
receipts and payments previously made by virtue of the bond, it was finally
found, after much disputing, that, of the total sum of 1,300l. aforesaid,
beyond the sums acknowledged as due to the aforesaid merchants, there
remained 87l. due to Robert to be paid before the aforesaid bond could
rightfully be taken from his hands; and because the aforesaid Richard and
John afterwards acknowledged before the king in chancery, for themselves
and their fellows, that Robert Eliz had satisfied them for the aforesaid
259l., the king, after careful examination of the matter, ordained, with the
express consent of the parties, that the aforesaid 87l. due to Robert from
the count and also the 259l. paid by him on the count's behalf to the aforesaid Richard and John, together with 28l. 15s. 0d. due to Robert according
to an arbitration made between him and the aforesaid Walter in the king's
chancery, remained due to Robert, as well as the money that still remains
to be paid to the aforesaid Walter and his fellows of the total sum aforesaid by Robert or those whom he shall appoint by his letters patent, and
to be levied by the aforesaid Walter and Henry, the envoys and attorneys
of the count in this behalf, or by those whom they shall depute, so that
Robert and the said envoys should faithfully attend to levying the same, as
Robert and Walter bound themselves by oath before the king to do, and that
the money thus levied should be equally divided between Robert and the
envoys, and that neither party should absent themselves in order to hinder
the said matter in any wise, and that indenture should be made between
them of the sums received until Robert be satisfied for the sums due to
him, amounting to 374l. 15s. 0d., and that afterwards the envoys should
receive all the money levied as above for the use of the count until the
whole sum contained in the aforesaid deed have been levied from the
merchants, fishermen, and mariners aforesaid; on account whereof the king
caused Walter and Henry to levy the above sums; and whereas Walter le
Keu has acknowledged in chancery that 116l. 3s. 7d. of the aforesaid 954l.
belong to Roger de Boslingthorp, citizen of Lincoln, one of the aforesaid
merchants, as his own debt on account of the robberies aforesaid, adding
that Roger was bound to him in divers sums of money by way of loan and
by reason of the suit and expenses made by Walter about the recovery of
the debt aforesaid; wherefore the king orders the bailiffs to arrest
58l. 1s. 9½d. of the money arising from the aforesaid levy in their bailiwick
of the portion of Walter and his fellows, and to cause that sum to be safely
kept under their seals and the seals of Walter and Roger until what justice
requires have been done between Walter and Roger, and to summon Walter
to be in chancery in the quinzaine of Martinmas, the day given by the king
to Roger to make account concerning the above matters, certifying the king
of their proceedings herein and of the names of the summoners of Walter.
The king has ordered Robert and Walter separately to execute the premises
together with the bailiffs. |

that Nicholas was seised thereof, and that he received the same yearly until
Robert's death, by which inquisition it was found that the manors are not
held in chief of the king, but that the manor of Toynton is held of the
earl of Lincoln by the yearly service of a pair of gilt spurs or 6d., and that
it is worth yearly 43l. 14s. 10d. in all issues, and that the manor of

they found that the sheriff was allowed that sum yearly for repairing the
said castle, and if it appeared that the castle needed repair, provided that
he answered to the exchequer for any portion of the said 100s. that might
not be expended for this purpose; as the king learns by inquisition that
Richard has expended more than 100s. yearly from the aforesaid 20 April. |
