because some falsifications were found on examination of the account,
caused Walter's lands, goods and chattels in Ireland to be taken into his

sealing of the account under the seal of that exchequer, and although
Walter made fine with the late king in 500 marks for pardon of the trespass
aforesaid, and paid 300 marks thereof to the late king in his wardrobe,
whereupon the said king ordered Walter's lands and goods to be delivered to

king made like order to Master John Walewayn, late escheator beyond
Trent, and to John de Blomvill, afterwards escheator in cos. Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, Huntingdon, Essex and Hertford, because it was found

at the king's request, the king having caused 200l. to be paid to Robert in
his wardrobe and afterwards caused 3,000 marks to be paid to him by writ
of liberate, and having ordered the treasurer and barons to pay the remaining 6,700 marks to Robert or to cause him to have an assignment therefor
upon the twentieth and tenth, as Robert has now given the king to understand that they caused part of the aforesaid sum to be assigned to him from

to obtain any payment thereof because the collectors had delivered all the
money collected by them to the exchequer before the assignment to Robert

St. Clement in the said island, which place the abbot and his predecessors
had held from time out of mind as the priory of St. Clement pertaining to
their abbey and not as a manor, and that the priory was taken into the
said king's hands in the name of a manor by order of the said justices, and
that it is still in the king's hands, and that although error intervened in the

remedy in divers parliaments of the late king, who caused the record and
process to come before him and sent them to Henry Spigurnel and his

inquisition and record and process before the late king, and the abbot hereupon had adjournments there, nevertheless the abbot did not obtain justice

manor and by reason of the disturbance in this realm, and for other
reasons—ordered the said Geoffrey and his fellows to examine the said
record and process and, if need be, the inquisition, and to proceed to correct
any errors found therein and to proceed to the full discussion of the matter,
provided that they did not proceed to render judgment without consulting
the king; and the abbot has now prayed the king, by petition before him

king's men of the land of Engelfeld, which adjoins Roger's land of
Dreffrencloyt, have usurped to themselves land from Deffrencloyt to the
estimated amount of 20 acres, whence disputes and strife have arisen
between the men of the said lands through the lack of bounds between the said
lands, and he has prayed the king to cause bounds to be acknowledged
between the said lands: the king therefore orders the justices to call before
him the men of the land of Englefeld and others of his bailiwick by
whom such bounds may be best made, and to cause bounds to be made
to endure for ever between the lands. By pet. of C. |

To Simon de Bereford, escheator beyond Trent. Order not to intermeddle further with the manor of Dedham, which he has taken into the
king's hands by reason of the death of Hervey de Staunton, clerk, and to
restore the issues thereof since Hervey's death to the executors of his will,
as the late king—upon its being found by inquisition taken by Master John
Walewayn, late escheator beyond Trent, that John de Stotevill, tenant in
chief of the said king, held no lands in chief at his death, but that, long
before his death, he demised by the said king's licence the aforesaid manor,
which he held of the said king as of the honour of Reines, to the aforesaid
Hervey for life, and it appeared by an indented deed exhibited before the
said king in chancery by Hervey that John, on the last day of April, in the
7th year of the said king's reign, demised the manor to Hervey in form
aforesaid, and that Hervey should hold it for the first eight years without doing any service or paying any rent to the said John or his heirs, and
that Hervey should render them 20 marks yearly after the end of that
term, which expired on 17 January, in the 16th year of the late king's
reign, for which reason the said 20 marks remained to be paid after that
date—ordered the said Master John not to intermeddle with the manor in any
way, willing that Hervey should pay to the exchequer 20 marks yearly for
the manor for so long as John's heir should remain a minor in the said
king's wardship. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Thomas Doyn has shewn
the king that whereas he was the late king's chamberlain of Kaermerdyn
in the 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th years of his reign, and during that
time the said king appointed divers ministers and fermors of commotes,
cantreds, and other places in South Wales pertaining to the said office of
chamberlain, and also Edmund, late earl of Arundel, the late king's justice
of those parts and supplying his place there, deputed bedels, reeves, and
divers other ministers in the same commotes, cantreds, and other places at
his will and without the assent of the said Thomas, and although the said
ministers and fermors have not yet fully answered to Thomas at the
exchequer of Kaermerdyn for the issues of the bailiwicks committed to them
and for the ferms, and divers sums remained in their hands unpaid, so that
Thomas was unable to answer to the late king for the arrears of the ministers and fermors, nevertheless the treasurer and barons charge him in his
account rendered at the exchequer with the issues and ferms aforesaid as if
the ministers and fermors had answered to him for the same in full, although
he had applied all possible diligence in levying the arrears aforesaid for
the late king's use, wherefore he has prayed the king to provide him with
a remedy: the king therefore orders them to appoint the prior of Kaermerdyn, now chamberlain of Kaermerdyn, and one other person of those
parts to enquire what sums remain in the hands of the ministers and fermors aforesaid, whose names Thomas will deliver to them at the exchequer,
and to enquire all particulars concerning the same, and to levy the said
sums for the discharge of Thomas, and to cause Thomas to be discharged of
all sums found remaining in the hands of the said ministers and fermors. |

To Robert de Hornclyf, constable of Baumburgh castle. Whereas it was
lately found by inquisition taken by Roger Heron, Richard de Emeldon,
and Robert de Tughale that Robert le Porter of Baumburgh was seised at
his death in his demesne as of fee of 36 acres of land and 5 acres of meadow
in Baumburgh, and of the custody of the gate of the castle, taking 2d. a day
for the custody, and that he and his ancestors were seised of the said land,
meadow, and custody from time out of mind, and that after his death Ralph
le Porter his son was seised thereof in like manner as his next heir for
twelve years, until John de Cambhou, the constable of Edward I. of that
castle, and John de Dudden, then sub-escheator in co. Northumberland, in
the 22nd year of the said king's reign, amoved Ralph from the said land,
meadow and custody, charging him with the slaying of one Robert de
Fletham, and in this way disseised him of the land, meadow, and custody,
which they took into the said king's hands on Sunday in the first week of
Lent in the said year, and that Ralph was never convicted of the said death,
and that he died in the late king's faith and peace at Baumburgh, on Monday
after the Invention of the Holy Cross, 15 Edward II., and that Robert
son of Robert le Porter is his brother and next heir and is aged fifty, and
that neither Ralph nor Robert son of Robert remitted the land, meadow,
and custody to the king's grandfather or father or to Roger de Malberthorp,
who held them for life by demise from Edward I., or changed their estate
therein in any way, and that the land, meadow, and custody were in the
king's hands for this reason only, and that they are held of him by the
service of keeping the gate of the castle and of finding a watchman every
night in time of peace and war on a gate called 'Smythyate' in the castle,
and of rendering yearly 6s. 8d. to the king's exchequer of the castle of
Newcastle-on-Tyne, and 4s. 5d. yearly to the town of Baumburgh: and the
king thereupon took the homage of the said Robert son of Robert on 4 May
last, and ordered the land, meadow, and custody to be delivered to him: the
king now orders the constable to pay to the said Robert son of Robert the
arrears of the aforesaid 2d. a day from the 4th May, and to pay him that
sum daily hereafter for so long as the constable shall remain in that office. |
