Walter de Heselarton and Eustachia de Percy, his wife, daughter and

To William Trussel, escheator beyond Trent. Robert de Kyrkhame, son
and heir of Nicholas de Kyrkham, tenant, as he says, by knight service of
the bishop of Exeter and other lords, has shewn the king that although the
said Nicholas died in the time of James de Berkeley, late bishop of that
place, and Robert, as his next heir and of full age, did to the bishop what
he ought to have done for the lands thus held of the bishop, and entered the
lands during the bishop's life, and held them peacefully, nevertheless the
king, at the prosecution of certain persons wishing to aggrieve Robert,
asserting in chancery that Nicholas held of the king in chief, ordered the
escheator to take into his hands all the lands whereof Nicholas was seised
at his death in his demesne as of fee, and to cause the same to be kept
safely until further orders, and to cause inquisition to be made concerning
the lands held by Nicholas in chief, etc., by reason whereof the lands are
still detained in the king's hands, wherefore Robert has prayed the king to
amove his hand from the said lands, since it is found by the inquisition that
Nicholas held no lands at his death in chief of the king, but that he held of
the said bishop certain lands in Blakeden by the courtesy of England of
the inheritance of Agatha, his late wife, by knight service, and certain
other lands in his demesne as of fee of other lords by divers services, and
that Robert is his next heir and is of full age: the king therefore orders
the escheator not to intermeddle further with the said lands, and to restore
the issues thereof to Robert, if he find by inquisition to be taken by him or
otherwise that the premises are true. |

To William Trussel, escheator this side Trent. Whereas, on 25 April
last, the king granted to John Darcy 'le neveu,' in consideration of his good
service, the custody of the manors of Aldeby and Folseham, co. Norfolk,
which were in the king's hands by reason of the minority of William son
and heir of Hawisia, one of the daughters and heiresses of William le
Mareschal, tenant in chief of the late king, a minor in the king's wardship,
to have during the king's pleasure as of the value of 200 marks yearly,
until the king should provide him with lands of the value of 100l. yearly
for life, to have for his stay with the king; and afterwards, because it was
found by the rolls of the late king's chancery that the late king assigned to
Ela, late the wife of John le Mareschal, tenant in chief of the late king, in
dower amongst other fees of the said John, one knight's fee in Aldeby, in
the aforesaid county, which Joan, late the wife of William Rosselyn, held,
which Joan is now dead, the fee being of the yearly value of 100s., the
king ordered the escheator to deliver to Robert son of Payn, who married
the said Ela, and to Ela the lands that the aforesaid Joan held of them by
reason of Ela's dower, together with the issues received therefrom by the
escheator; and the king now learns from John Darcy that the escheator
has erroneously delivered the manor of Aldeby to Robert and Ela under
pretext of the said order: as it is found by an inquisition taken by the
escheator that Joan held the manor of Aldeby for life of Hawisia's inheritance, and that it is held of the king in chief as parcel of the barony of the
manor of Rye, and that William son of Hawisia is her next heir of the
manor, the king orders the escheator to resume the manor of Aldeby into
his hands, and to deliver it to John Darcy, together with the issues received
thence since the aforesaid 25 April, to hold according to the tenor of the
letters aforesaid. |

To Simon de Grymesby, escheator beyond Trent. Order not to intermeddle in any way with the lands that Isabella de Bello Monte, lady de
Vescy (de Veciaco), holds by the king's commission until the coming of age
of David de Strabolgi, son and heir of David de Strabolgi, late earl of
Athole, tenant in chief of the late king, although the king lately ordered him
to cause David to have seisin of the lands that his father held in his demesne
as of fee and of the lands that his father held by the courtesy of England
of the inheritance of Joan, his wife, the king having taken David's homage
and rendered the lands to him although he was not of full age, as it was
not, and is not, the king's intention that those to whom he had granted the
custodies of manors or lands of the said inheritance during David's minority
shall be amoved from the custodies until David come of full age. If the
escheator have delivered the aforesaid lands to David by virtue of the said
order, he is to cause them to be resumed into the king's hands, and to be
delivered to Isabella, together with the issues received thence.

To the sheriffs of London and Middlesex. Whereas the late king in
August, in the 10th year of his reign, being then at Lincoln on his way to
the north against the Scotch rebels, who had then entered the realm,
enjoined W. archbishop of Canterbury, J. elect of Ely, Walter de Norwico,
then his treasurer, Hervey de Staunton, J. then bishop of Norwich, W. then
bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, and Roger le Brabazon, now deceased,
and others of his council to go to London, so that they should be there on
the morrow of St. Bartholomew following, to provide money and victuals
for the late king's use for the expenses of the Scotch war, and they sought
out divers ways for providing the money, but found no men at that time
who would make a loan of victuals or money, except the mayor, aldermen,
and certain men of the city whose names are contained in a roll in the
possession of the treasurer and chamberlains in the exchequer, who, by
urgent request, delivered 1,000l. to the treasurer and chamberlains for the
above purpose, and the treasurer and chamberlains promised the mayor,
aldermen, and men that the said sum should be paid to them before All
Saints following by all means, but payment was not made before that feast,
by reason whereof great outcry came to the late king, who therefore granted
and assigned to them the whole ferm of the city and all issues to be exacted
or levied within the city and county by summons of the exchequer for his
use for aids and tallages or for any other cause, to be received by the hands
of his sheriffs and other ministers appointed to levy the aforesaid aids and
tallages, until the said mayor, aldermen, and men should be satisfied, and
that meanwhile the ferm or issues aforesaid should not be assigned to any one
by the late king or his ministers; of which sum the greater part was levied
and paid in the late king's time, and part still remains to be paid, as the mayor,
aldermen, and men say, wherefore they have prayed the king to cause the
arrears of the aforesaid 1,000l. to be paid to them: the king therefore
orders the sheriffs to pay to the mayor and aldermen the ferm of the city
and all issues levied by summons of the exchequer within the city and
county until they be satisfied for the remainder of the aforesaid sum of
1,000l., so that they may retain in their possession what is due to them in
this behalf and may pay to the aforesaid men the sums due to them. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to allow to the
aforesaid sheriffs the sums to be paid by them to the mayor and aldermen in
execution of the preceding order. |

To the same. R. bishop of Coventry and Lichfield has shewn to the
king that although the king, at the bishop's petition before him and his
council suggesting that the late king was bound to him in 87l. 16s. 0d. by a
sealed bill of the wardrobe, for corn bought from him whilst he was archdeacon of Richmond, and that the bishop owed to the king 95l. 11s. 0¼d. of
the arrears of his account for the time when he was collector of a subsidy of
5d. in the mark granted to the late king, ordered the treasurer and barons
to cause allowance to be made to the bishop of the former sum in the sum
due to the king, nevertheless they have deferred making the said allowance
because the bill is sealed with the bishop's seal of the time when he was
keeper of the wardrobe: the king therefore orders them to allow to the
bishop the sum due to him according to the king's prior order, notwithstanding that the bill is sealed with his seal of the time when he was keeper
of the wardrobe. |

To the mayor, aldermen, sheriffs, and the whole community of the city of
London. The king has heard and understood before his council what their
envoys and fellow-citizens [who have come] to him concerning the removal
of the exchequer and Bench from London to York have said, and he thanks
the mayor, aldermen, sheriffs, and community for their counsel and advice in
this matter; but as it was previously ordained by the prelates, proceres,
and magnates of the realm that the exchequer and Bench should be amoved
as is aforesaid, and it seems to the king and his whole council that it will
be necessary for the ordinance to remain in force, he signifies the premises
to the mayor, aldermen, sheriffs, and community, and orders them to aid
the king's ministers coming to London for the aforesaid exchequer and
Bench and the rolls, memoranda, and other things pertaining to them, in
order that the said ministers may execute without impediment what the
king has enjoined upon them. [Fœdera.] |
Sept. 26.
Lincoln. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause allowance
for 20 marks to be made to Robert Banyard in the debts due from him to
the exchequer, as he has shewn the king that he was appointed in the late
king's time to deliver the gaol in cos. Norfolk and Suffolk, and to make
inquisitions and other offices in those counties, and he has laboured in these
offices for four years at his own cost, and divers emoluments have come to
the exchequer from fines, amercements, and issues forfeited before him,
without his receiving any money for his fee from the late king or the present king, and he has prayed the king to make some remission to him in the
debts due from him to the exchequer, and the king has granted him the
above sum in aid of his expenses. By K. & C. |

To Geoffrey le Scrop, chief justice to hold pleas before the king. Order
to restore to Nicholas Warde the office of proclaimer before the justices, if he
have hitherto conducted himself well in the office and have been amoved
without cause, as the late king granted to him this office, which Thomas
Malemeyns had of the said king's grant, to have in the same way as others
who had hitherto held that office, during the said king's pleasure and
during his good behaviour, and Nicholas has given the king to understand
that he is amoved from office by colour of certain letters of the king granting the office to Geoffrey de Saye of London for life, although he has not
offended in anything for which he ought to be amoved thence, and he has
prayed the king to provide him with a remedy. By pet. of C. [7338.] |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. John de Faucomberge
has shewn the king, by petition before him and his council, that Hugh le
Despenser, the younger, lately caused by his lordship the said John to be
indicted at Pykeryng' in the late king's presence for taking a hart and a
hind in the forest of Pykeryng', and caused him to be taken for that reason
and kept in prison until he had made fine with Hugh for the late king's use
in 100 marks, of which sum he paid 10 marks to the exchequer, and he has
prayed the king to cause the remainder of the sum to be released to him,
especially as he was indicted thereof contrary to the law and custom of the
realm: as the alleged trespass was made in the forest of Pykeryng', which
was then in the late king's hands by reason of the quarrel of Thomas, late
earl of Lancaster, and it was ordained in the late parliament at Westminster
that the king shall not have the issues of lands of those who were of the
said quarrel for which answer has not been made to him or to the late king,
and because John was indicted before another than the keeper of the forest,
contrary to the law and assize of the forest, the king orders the treasurer
and barons to view the estreat of the fine aforesaid delivered at the exchequer, and if they find that John was indicted before another than the
keeper of the forest, they are to cause him to be discharged of the arrears
of the aforesaid 100 marks, which were lately attermined to him at the
exchequer. By pet. of C. [4167.] |

force in the night divers charters, deeds of covenants and obligations, and
other his muniments, and the rolls of his accounts of the time when he
was keeper of certain lands of alien men of religion in the late king's hands,
which they detained from him, and that they threatened to slay him, whereby
he, through fear of death and the peril of disinheritance and other damages
that might accrue to him through the detention of the charters, deeds, and
rolls, made a fine of 60l. with the said Robert de Brandon and Nicholas, of
which he paid them 20l., and he made a recognisance in the exchequer to
Nicholas for payment of 40l., the remainder of that sum, and that although
he has impleaded Robert and Nicholas before the king for the trespass
aforesaid, nevertheless Nicholas sues to levy the said 40l. from his lands and
chattels by virtue of the recognisance, wherefore he has prayed the king to
provide a remedy: the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons not to

To Philip de Hardeshulle, keeper of certain lands in Coule, in the king's
hands. Whereas it was found by inquisition taken by the late king's order
by Philip de Aylesbury and John de Chetewode that Robert de Tiryngton,
late parson of the church of Preston and all his predecessors, parsons of that
church, had been seised from time out of mind in their demesne as of the
right of their church of a bovate and six acres of land in Coule until the
10th year of the said king's reign, and that William Tuchet, in that year,
disseised the said Robert of the same unjustly and without a judgment, and
that the land was taken into the late king's hands with other lands of the
said William because he adhered to Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, and it
is still in the king's hands; wherefore Edmund de Grymesby, now parson
of the said church, has besought the king by his petition before him and
council at Westminster to cause the land to be delivered to him as the right
of his church; to which petition it was answered by the council that
Edmund should sue at common law for the land against William's heir,
who had been restored to his inheritance in parliament; and afterwards
Edmund gave the king to understand that the heir did not care to sue the
land out of the king's hand, so that he could not have process against the
heir according to the answer to his petition, and he has prayed the king to
provide a remedy; and the king therefore ordered the sheriff of Buckingham
to warn Richard Tuchet, brother and heir of the said William, to be before
the king in chancery on the morrow of the Assumption last, to shew cause
why the land should not be delivered out of the king's hands to Edmund as
the right of his church; and the sheriff warned Richard accordingly, as he
returned before the king at the said day, when Richard appeared in person
before the king and asserted that he had no right in the land, affirming that
it was the frankalmoin of the church aforesaid, and prayed the king to
deliver the land to Edmund as the right of his church in discharge of the
soul of his brother, the said William: the king therefore orders the keeper
to deliver the land to Edmund or his attorney, if it be in the king's hands
solely for this reason. By pet. of C. |

the escheator from the constabulary of Lincoln castle and the bailey
before the gate of the castle since they were taken into the late king's
hands, as the escheator has returned to the king that he did not take the constabulary and bailey, which belong to Ebulo and Alesia, his wife, into the
late king's hands, but that John Walewayn, the late king's escheator this
side Trent, took them into the said king's hands because it was said that
Alesia, who held them to her and her heirs in fee of the said king in chief,
demised them while she was single to John Talbot, to have during his good
behaviour towards her, rendering to her 20 marks yearly, and the king—
because it appeared to him by the rolls of the late king's chancery that the
said king rendered the constabulary and bailey to Alesia from 20 September,
in the 16th year of his reign, as her right and inheritance—ordered Matthew
not to intermeddle further with the constabulary and bailey and to restore
the issues thereof to Ebulo and Alesia, and he now learns from the complaint of Ebulo and Alesia that Matthew detains the issues, although he has
delivered to them the constabulary and bailey, wherefore they have prayed

not hitherto offended against the king or his progenitors in any way; the
