being given to understand that certain evil wishers to the king and the
bailiffs and whole community of Great Yarmouth had set out from parts
beyond sea with a multitude of ships on the sea, for the purpose of inflicting
damage upon the king and the people of his realm, and upon merchants
wishing to come to the realm with merchandise and victuals in aid and
comfort of the king and his people, ordered the said bailiffs and community,
on 25 June, in the 15th year of his reign, to cause eight ships, in addition
to the six ships granted by them to the king for the expedition of his war of
Scotland, to be prepared and provided with men-at-arms, arms, victuals, and
other necessaries under double equipment (eskippisona), at the king's
charge, so that they should be ready to set out in the king's service at his
wages when warned by John Perbroun, then admiral of the fleet of the
king's ships, and that the king would cause allowance to be made to them
for their costs incurred in this behalf at the exchequer or in his wardrobe;
and the bailiffs and community caused eight ships to be prepared in manner
aforesaid at the summons of the said John, and sent them to Scotland in the
king's service, and the ships were in the king's service for a long time, as

petition before him and his council to cause account to be made with them
for their costs about the munition of the said ships, and to cause allowance

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer and the chamberlains. Alan

wherefore he has prayed the king to cause him to be satisfied for the above
sum: the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons and chamberlains
to search the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer touching the aforesaid

by charter to Isabella, late the wife of Hugh Bardolf, mother of the said
Thomas, of whom he is the heir, the aforesaid manor for her life, with remainder to William her son and to the heirs of his body, with remainder in default of such heirs to her right heirs, and that Isabella is dead, and the said
William is also dead without an heir of his body, so that the manor ought
to remain to Thomas, her son and heir, by the form of the grant, and that
the manor was taken into the king's hands by the forfeiture of Robert
Lewer, a late rebel, who had disseised Isabella thereof unjustly and without
a judgment—the king appointed Robert de Bardelby and Robert de Estden
to make inquisition in the keeper's presence concerning the premises, and
it is found by their inquisition that the late king granted the manor to
Isabella in form aforesaid, and that she was seised thereof by reason of the
said grant from that time until the quinzaine of Michaelmas, in the 15th
year of the king's reign, in which quinzaine the said Robert Lewer
disseised her of the manor, and thus continued his seisin thereof until the
manor came to the king's hands by his forfeiture, and that the manor is in
the king's hands for this reason and no other, and that Isabella upon
another occasion prosecuted to obtain a remedy in the king's court at his
parliament by petition before the king and his council, when answer was
made to her petition that she should sue out her remedy against Robert by
common law, whereupon she sued out a writ of novel disseisin against him,
and that she is dead, and that William her son died without an heir of his
body, and that the said Thomas is her right heir, and that neither she nor
Thomas have changed their estate therein in any way, and that the manor
is held of the king by the service of a pair of gilt spurs for all service, and
that it is worth yearly 100s. in all issues; and the king afterwards
ordered the treasurer and chamberlains to search the charters, writings, and
other memoranda that belonged to the said Robert in their custody in the
treasury, and ordered the said keeper to search the charters, etc., of the said
Robert in his custody, and to certify the king whether or not Isabella or
Thomas remitted or released their right in the manor to Robert after the
said disseisin or changed their estate therein in any way, and the treasurer
and chamberlains have certified that there are no charters or memoranda
that belonged to Robert touching the said manor in the treasury, and the
keeper has certified that he found no charters or memoranda that belonged
to Robert in his bailiwick touching the manor, and that he was unable to
find any although he has exhibited all possible diligence in this behalf, and
that he found nothing in his custody making mention of the manor: as the
said Thomas has prayed the king, by another petition exhibited in parliament
in the octaves of Martinmas last, to cause justice to be done to him, the
king orders the said keeper to deliver the manor to Thomas, to be held
according to the form of the grant aforesaid, saving the right of the king and
of others. By K. and by pet. of parliament returned before the king. |
