To Henry le Scrop and his fellows, justices to hold pleas before the
king. Order to replace the prior of St. Frideswide's Oxford in the same
state as he was when they considered that he should take nothing by his
petition in parliament at Westminster, wherein he prayed the king to cause
justice to be done to him concerning the church of Acleye, with the chapels
of Brehull, Borstall, and Edyngrave pertaining thereto, which church the
empress Matilda, sometime queen of England, gave to that house by
charter, in whose possession it continued for a long time, which church
William son of Richard, late a clerk of Henry III., occupied in a time of
voidance of the priory, and which is still detained from the prior, the justices
having made this consideration because brother Walter de Sutton, a fellow
canon of the prior and his attorney in this behalf, who sued against William
de Ayremynne, keeper of the rolls of chancery, to have scrutiny of the said
rolls, did not appear before the king on a certain day to prosecute the aforesaid petition, the king having sent the petition to William Inge and his
fellows, then justices to hold pleas before him, whom he ordered to examine
the same and to bring the matter to a final issue, provided that they did not
proceed to render judgment therein before they had certified the king
concerning the matter; under which pretext the said Henry and his fellows
ordered the rolls of chancery of Henry III. and other the king's progenitors
to be searched and the memoranda therein concerning this matter to be sent
to the king; the king now learning from the prior that the said Henry and
his fellows considered, pending the search, that he should take nothing by
his petition, as above stated. They are ordered to proceed in the said matter,
notwithstanding their aforesaid consideration, and to bring the matter
to a final issue, according to the tenor of the king's mandate abovesaid,
William de Ayremynne having certified that Walter sued against him for
the search at the time of the consideration. By C. |

that Isabella, the king's consort, now holds, and of other lands in the

Ailbrighton taken into the king's hands upon the death of John Tropyn,

death, but that he held certain lands in Ailbrighton of the heir of John
Abadam, tenant in chief, a minor in the king's wardship, by the service of
a tenth of a knight's fee and of 2d. yearly rent and suit at the heir's court
twice in the year, and that John Tropyn died on 3 May last, and that
Thomas, his brother and heir, then of full age, entered the lands aforesaid
after John's death, and peacefully continued his seisin for six weeks and
more, and that Thomas, during his seisin, granted the lands to the aforesaid
John Fraunceys, and that John Fraunceys was seised thereof by virtue of
that grant, and that he continued his seisin for 17 weeks and more, until
the escheator took the lands into the king's hands by reason of John

by knight service, and it does not appear that Hugh held any other lands in

To the sheriff of Norfolk. Order to restore ship laden with wool, hides
and other merchandise of merchants of Flanders, lately arrested on her
voyage from Scotland to Flanders on the sea coast near Blakeneye, although
it appears by inquisition taken by him by the king's order that the merchants and mariners of the same are pirates, robbers, and homicides, and it
appears by the letters of the coket touching certain goods in the ship that
certain of the goods specified therein were loaded at Aberden among the
Scotch rebels, so that the king could aggrieve the merchants and mariners
in their bodies and goods, as R. count of Flanders has besought the king
for the said merchants, the king issuing this order on that account and in
order to cherish peace and tranquillity, as well as for the common advantage
that may arise out of the mutual communion of his and the count's subjects.
The king has caused the bodies of the said merchants and mariners to be
released of his especial grace before him and his council. By K. |
