To Constantine de Mortuo Mari, William Bernak, Roger de Kerdeston, and Geoffrey de Wych, appointed to choose 1,400 footmen in co. Norfolk, excepting the city of Norwich and the towns of Lenn and Estiernemuth, and to cause them to be armed at the charge of the towns.

The Tower.
To the bailiffs of the castle, town, and land of Bergaveny. Whereas John, late bishop of Llandaff, and John de Hastyng, now deceased, suggested to the present pope that the prior and monks of Bergaveny, who were then Frenchmen, lived in incontinence and contrary to their rule, dissipating the goods and possessions of the priory in evil uses, and hereupon obtained a bull to certain judges, by virtue whereof the French prior and monks were amoved from the priory, and an English prior and English monks were substituted, and the said Frenchmen moved a plea in the Roman court concerning their amoval; the king, wishing to avoid the prejudice that may arise hereby to him and to the heir of the said John, a minor in his wardship, of whose patronage the priory is, especially as he is bound to restore to heirs in his wardship when they come of age their lands and possessions as fully as they came to his hands, orders the bailiffs to maintain and defend the English prior and monks in their possession of the priory during the wardship aforesaid, not permitting any such aliens to do wrong or damage to the prior and monks or to intermeddle in any way with anything pertaining to the priory during the wardship. If there be any who wish to come to those parts to inflict any such grievances upon the English prior and monks in their persons or the possessions of the priory during the said wardship, the bailiffs are to hinder them doing so, and to certify the king with all speed of the names of such persons and of the bailiffs' proceedings in the whole matter.
