to intermeddle with levying any issues in the forest of Shirewode touching
the office of verderers there, except those that it has been usual to answer
at the exchequer for in times past by estreats of the exchequer by the
justices of the forest, and whereof he ought to be charged in the exchequer
by such estreats, until such time as the king, being more fully informed,
shall signify his will to him, not withstanding the king's late order to him to
cause inquisition to be made of those who were verderers and agisters in all
the king's forests in his bailiwick in the time of the late king and the
present king, and where and for what time they held office, and what money
each of them received in their time from due prises and customs and agistment or pannage, or elsewhere from other issues and profits of the forest

levied of their goods and lands, so that he should answer at the exchequer
therefor in fifteen days from Midsummer next, and should certify the
treasurer and barons of the sums so levied and the circumstances connected
therewith, as the king understands that if John were to proceed to the
execution of such order as to any such issues touching the office of verderer
in the forest of Shirewode the king would lose by the payment thereof the
grievous ransoms that ought to pertain to him, which ought to be adjudged
before the justices of Forest pleas when they come to those parts. By C. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause to come

Foxle and Thomas de Wylughby, who were appointed by the king to take
into the king's hands the goods of Anthony, late bishop of Durham and
patriarch of Jerusalem, for debts due from him to the king, and to cause
answer to be made to Master Rigaud de Asserio, the pope's nuncio in England, after the king have been satisfied for the debts due to him, for the
sums due to the pope, and not to impede him hereafter in the execution of
those things that pertain to him of right against the executors of the said
bishop, Master Rigaud having shewn by his petition before the king and
his council that whereas he called the executors to answer before him for
1,000 marks bequeathed by the bishop in aid of the Holy Land, 1,600
marks received by the bishop in his diocese of the tenth imposed by pope
Nicholas, 1,200 marks received by him of the tenth imposed by pope
Boniface, 1,800 marks received by him of the tenth imposed by pope
Clement V., which sums he retained in his possession, and 500 marks of
the arrears of the procurations of the legates of the apostolic see in England
received by him, and 500 marks received by him of the arrears of the procurations of Sirs Gerald and Simon Penestrini, sometime legates in this
realm, in order to levy the above sums for the use of the pope, the executors procured the king's prohibition containing that the premises so touched
the king that Rigaud should not proceed in the matter without consulting
the king; for which Rigaud prayed the king to provide a remedy; whereupon the king ordered the treasurer and barons to call the executors before
them, and to receive information from Rigaud and to inform themselves
concerning the matter, and if they found that the matters did not so touch
the king that the executors ought to be defended against the exaction by
Rigaud in the pope's name, to cause the hindrance placed in his way by
them to be removed, and if the matter so touched the king that it ought
to be superseded before Rigaud, they were then ordered to certify the king
thereof under the exchequer seal in his next parliament; in which matter
nothing has been done, wherefore Rigaud has prayed the king in the present
parliament for remedy. By K. and C.

To the sheriff of York. Order to supersede the king's late order, issued
in response to the petition before the king and his council of Robert de
Crauncewyk, detained in the king's prison at Beverley for the death of
Stephen Belesone and William de Brumpton, clerk, to bring the body of
the said Robert at his own expense, together with the indictments and
other things touching them, before the king in the octaves of Holy Trinity,
in order that the gaol may be delivered of the said Robert according to law
and custom, as W. archbishop of York has shewn by his complaint that he has
such liberty of the prisoners in the said gaol under his custody that delivery
of that gaol ought to be made by the archbishop's justices in the presence
of the king's justices assigned to deliver that gaol, and that such prisoners
ought not to be delivered elsewhere than there unless the archbishop or his
justices aforesaid have been notoriously in default in such delivery, adding
that he and his predecessors have had and enjoyed such liberty from time
out of mind, and that he or his justices were not found [in default] in
delivering the gaol of the said Robert, the king having, before he issued
the said order to bring Robert before him, ordered John de Donecastre and
William de Denum, justices appointed to deliver the said gaol, to proceed
to deliver the gaol of the said Robert with all speed because he was given
to understand on Robert's behalf that Robert was prepared to stand to
right in the king's court concerning the aforesaid felony, and that he
frequently offered himself to do so, and that the justices appointed to
deliver the gaol delayed making delivery therefrom of the said Robert, to
which the above-named justices returned that they went to Beverley to
deliver the aforesaid gaol, and that Robert came before them and placed
himself [upon the country] concerning the death of the aforesaid Stephen
and William, and that, on account of the strife and contentions between
the greater part of the community of the town of Beverley and the aforesaid Robert for divers challenges propounded on the king's and on Robert's
behalf, the inquisition concerning the death of the said Stephen and
William remained untaken on that day, especially as Robert asserted in his
challenge that the community of the town of Beverley and the bailiffs of
the liberty thereof were his enemies and contrary to him in all things.

To the sheriff of Lincoln. Whereas the king lately appointed Lambert
de Trikyngham and certain others to make inquisitions concerning the
oppressions committed in that county by divers sheriffs, clerks, bailiffs, and
ministers, constables, keepers of prisons, bailiffs of liberties, and subescheators under colour of their offices upon the men of that county and
others coming into the county by false indictments, appeals, grievous ransoms, and distraints made upon feigned causes, and to hear and determine
the complaints against them since the king's accession; and the king understood that certain persons of the county, endeavouring to prevent the
bailiffs, clerks, and sub-bailiffs of that county from levying the king's
ferms and other profits of that county and from executing and returning
summonses of the exchequer and other writs returnable before the king and
his justices and from making the purveyances for the king's journey to Scotland that the king ordered the sheriff to make, have procured their indictment before the said Lambert and his fellows at the suit of certain persons
leagued together and have procured their committal to prison at Lincoln, to
the delay of the king's affairs; wherefore the king commanded Lambert
to send the inquisitions and indictments touching the sheriff, bailiffs, and
their clerks and sub-bailiffs before the king in fifteen days from Michaelmas
in order that the king may then cause to be done what ought of right to be
done herein, and to summon all persons prosecuting in these matters to be
before the king on the aforesaid day; the king, wishing to do justice to the
said bailiffs, clerks, and sub-bailiffs, orders the sheriff to cause them to be
released from prison upon their finding mainprise to answer to the king and
others, in order that they may serve the king and his people as pertains to
their office and as was usual in the time of the late king and in the present
king's time. By K. and C. |

To the bailiffs of Raveneserodde. Order to arrest goods of the men and
merchants of the towns of Grippeswold, Strallessound, and Lubyk,
excepting the merchants of the German Hanse of London, to the value of
200l., and to keep the same until Adam le Clerk of Lenne have been
satisfied for that amount, or until further orders, certifying the king of
their proceedings. The king makes this order because the schöffen
(scabini) and men of the aforesaid towns have failed to make restitution or
satisfaction to the said Adam, in response to the king's letters, for his ship
called 'La Plente' of Lenne, price 100l. sterling, laden in the parts of
Poitou (Peytou), with salt of Poitou, lampreys of Nauntes, and certain
bales of Bugeye, and other his goods, to the value 200l. sterling, which
Henry de Ryklynghous and other malefactors of the said towns captured
between Great Yarmouth and Blakeneye whilst on her voyage to
St. Johnstown of Perth, when they slew many of the men found in her,
and carried the ship and goods with them to Aberden in Scotland, whence
they took the ship with them to Strallesound. The king has ordered the
bailiffs of John de Britannia, earl of Richmond, at Boston, to arrest goods
in like manner to the value of 100l. |
|
To the sheriff of York. Order to arrest goods of the men and merchants
of the power of the king of France to the value of 171l. 13s. 4d., and to
cause the same to be guarded safely until Walter de Burton and John
Hakun, burgesses of Beverley, have been satisfied for that amount or
until otherwise ordered, certifying the king of his proceedings herein. The
king makes this order because the aforesaid merchants lately complained
that whereas, after the proclamation made by L[ouis], king of France and
Navarre, that all men then in Flanders who wished to be of his friendship
should leave that land with their goods within a certain time, they left
Flanders for England within that time with their goods, to wit with silver
in mass to the value of 205l. sterling, and 20l. sterling in money by tale,
and the vicomte of Pécquigni (Pynkeny), then appointed keeper of parts
of those marches against the Flemings, arrested the said merchants with
the silver and money aforesaid in the town of Calais, and retained the
silver and money after they had been delivered from prison, whereupon
the king requested the king of France by special letters to deliver the
silver and money to the said merchants and to do justice to them; upon
which, although it was found by inquisition and certain information made
before John Mauveysyn, then captain of Calais, by the échevins (scabinos)
of that town by order of the king of France, that silver in mass and money
amounting to the aforesaid sum were taken from the said merchants by the
vicomte, the king of France caused a plate (plata) of silver weighing
53l. 6s. 8d. sterling to be delivered to the aforesaid merchants, retaining
the rest for his own uses; whereupon the king wrote to Philip, the present
king of France and Navarre, to cause justice to be done to the said
merchants concerning the residue; but the king of France has done
nothing in response thereto, as the community of Beverley have signified
to the king by their letters patent. By pet. of C. [4545.] |

her tongue, etc., which commission the king issued because he understood
that they were wandering about in divers counties so that they could not
be arrested, which commission the king afterwards superseded for divers
reasons, provided that they find sufficient mainpernors to have them before
the king and his justices to answer to Agnes. By K. and C. |

gross at 2,000 marks, so that it ought to be comprehended under that taxation
and under no other, and, if they find that it is so, to acquit William, archbishop of York, of all the sums of money that are exacted from him by
reason of the aforesaid corrody because of the taxation thereof, and to
cause the taxation of the corrody to be extracted from the rolls of the
exchequer and annulled, as the archbishop has shewn to the king that
divers sums of money are exacted for divers grants and contributions
imposed upon the clergy of that province because the corrody, which is
annexed to the archbishopric, and whereof the prebend and canonry
(canonia) of the archbishop in St. John's church, Beverley, consist and
have consisted time out of mind, has been erroneously taxed as the portion
of Walter le Botiller because it was in his hands when the taxation was
made, Walter Gyffard, late archbishop, having assigned it to him during
pleasure. By K. |

York. |
To the same. Order to acquit the aforesaid archbishop of the separate
portions of money exated by them from him in the counties of Lincoln
and Gloucester for the lands of the archbishopric in those counties, and
hereafter to charge the archbishop in the county of York with his contributions to aids and impositions, in which county what is due from him
may be levied fully, and to charge him in no wise with any separate sums
in other counties, if it appear to them that the lands in the counties of
Lincoln and Gloucester are included with the other lands of the archbishopric in the county of York and other counties in the taxation of the
archbishopric in gross at 2,000 marks, as the archbishop has shewn the king
that the said lands are so included. |
|
To the same. Order to acquit the aforesaid archbishop of all sums
exacted by them from him by reason of the church of Kynaldstowe, co.
Nottingham, if it appear to them by inquisition or otherwise that the church
was of the archbishopric at the time of the taxation and from time out of
mind, so that it ought to be included in the aforesaid taxation of 2,000
marks, and to cause the taxation of the church to be annulled, the archbishop having shewn the king that they exact divers sums by reason of the
said church because it was at the time of the taxation taxed in error by
itself as if it were separate from the archbishopric, whereas it was of the
archbishopric at that time and had been from time out of mind. |
|
To the same. Order to acquit the aforesaid archbishop of 4l. 12s. 10½d.,
which they exact from him for the chattels of Arnold de Salso Marisco,
who was delivered to his predecessor John according to the privilege of the
clergy upon his indictment before the late king's justices for certain felonies,
if they find that his chattels did not come to the said John's hands, as the
archbishop has shewn the king that the chattels did not come, and ought
not, according to law and custom, to have come to the said John's hands. |
|
To the same. Order to call before them Master Thomas de Sancto
Albano and his co-executors of the will of Master William de Grenefeld,
late archbishop of York, and to charge them with 100s. in which he made
fine with the king for licence to give certain tenements in Ripton and
Dalle, near Thornton, to a chaplain to celebrate divine service daily within
his manor of Ripon, and to acquit the present archbishop thereof, who
has shewn the king that the treasurer and barons exact the above sum from
him although the said executors have sufficient of the said William de
Grenefeld's goods to satisfy the king for the above sum. |
|
To the same. Order to acquit William, archbishop of York, of 200
marks that they exact from him for the tenth granted to the king by the
clergy of the province of York in the 10th year of the king's reign, as it
appears by the rolls of chancery that the archbishopric was then void by
the death of William de Grenefeld and was then in the king's hands. |
|
To the same. Order to acquit W. archbishop of York of the scutage
that they exact from him for five knights' fees for the late king's armies of
Wales in the 5th and 10th years of his reign, which the archbishop of York
at that time acknowledged to the late king, as the archbishop had his
service therefor in the said armies, as appears by the late king's rolls of the
marshalsea. |

To the sheriffs of Lincoln. Order to arrest goods of the men and merchants of the power of the count of Hainault, Holland, and Zeeland, and of
the towns of Cologne, Dortmond, Rikelynghous, Lubyk, Osenbrugg, Menstre,
Grippeswold, Sussalt, and Hamburgh to the value of 230l., the residue of
300l. for which the king ordered them to arrest goods of the said men
because the count and the burgomasters, schöffen, consules, and bailiffs of
the aforesaid towns had failed to cause restitution or satisfaction to be
made to William de Wyddeslade, citizen and merchant of London, for his
goods to that value laden at Sluys (le Sclus), in Flanders, in a ship of
Laurence Pollesson of Brabant, which were captured by certain malefactors
of those parts and towns on the coast near Wynterton, co. Norfolk, whilst
the ship was on her voyage with the said goods to England and to the
value of 100l., at which his damages are estimated, the sheriffs having arrested
goods to the value of 70l. from Hermann le Skypper, merchant of Almain,
by virtue of the king's previous order to arrest goods on this account, which
goods the king caused to be delivered to William. By K. and C. |
June 23.
York. |
To the same. Order to restore the goods of William le Rede, Henry de
Bevre, John Saffrauns and his fellows, John le Whyte, Conrad le Swart,
and other merchants of the aforesaid towns of Almain, arrested by them in
execution of the king's aforesaid order to arrest goods on the above account,
they having returned that they had arrested goods of the aforesaid merchants and of Hermann le Skippere to the value of 400l., the king having
ordered Hermann's goods to the value of 70l. to be delivered to the aforesaid William de Wyddeslade because Hermann had ceased to be of the
Hanse of the Almain merchants in London, as the king has granted to the
merchants of the Hanse aforesaid that their goods shall not be arrested
within his realm for any debt whereof they are not sureties or principal
debtors or for any trespass committed by other persons. They are ordered
to discharge Robert Person, Luke de Havering', Stephen de Preston,
Robert de Dodeford, John de Costum, John de Bristoll, John de Romenay,
John de Wrotham, and John Brond of their mainprise to answer for the
aforesaid goods. By K. and C. |

de Kent, clerk, which were taken into the king's hands upon his indictment before Simon le Chaumberleyn and William de Isny, the king's
justices to deliver Lincoln gaol, for forging the king's money, as he has
purged his innocence before J. bishop of Lincoln, the diocesan, to
whom he was delivered by the justices according to the privilege of the
clergy. |

To William de Ros of Hamelak. Order to supersede entirely the taking
of certain custom upon goods for sale passing over or under the bridge of
Boston and coming from elsewhere to the town, which the king granted
by his letters patent that he should take from 5 June last until the end of
five years in aid of repairing the bridge and pavement of Boston, as the
king learns from trustworthy testimony that the bridge and pavement do
not need repair. By K. |
June 26.

To the sheriff of York. Order to cause a coroner for that county to be

York. |
To Master Walter de Islep, treasurer of Ireland. Order to cause the
bell-tower of the church of St. Mary del Dam, adjoining Dublin castle, to
be repaired at the king's charge in the manner ordained by John de Hothum,
as the king is given to understand that the said John, whilst in Ireland
upon certain of the king's affairs, ordered the bell-tower to be pulled down
and the stones thereof carried into the castle for the repair of the same,
for the security and protection of the castle against certain perils that were
feared, and that the treasurer has not caused the bell-tower to be repaired,
although John ordered him to do so. By K. |

of the town of Berwick-on-Tweed, and for recompence for certain of his
horses lost there in the king's service, as appears by a bill under the seal of
office of the chamberlain of Scotland and the seal of John de Weston, late
chamberlain of Scotland. By K. |
