his death, to be delivered entire to Elizabeth, whose fealty the king

not to intermeddle further with the manors of Halton upon Trent and
Alkebarowe in that county or with the advowsons of the chapel of the
manor of Halton, and of the church of Halton, delivering the issues thereof
to Roger Lestraunge, knight, son and heir of Roger Lestraunge, knight, as
the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that Nicholas
de Cantilupo, knight, at his death, held the said manors and advowsons for
his life of the grant of Roger Lestraunge, knight, now deceased, by a fine
levied in the king's court, with reversion to Roger, the son aforesaid, and

To the collectors of customs in the port of Newcastle upon Tyne. Order
to pay to John de Denton, son of John de Denton and Elizabeth his wife,
12l. 18s. 2d., for Michaelmas term last, as the king granted to John the
father 25l. 16s. 4d. to be received yearly of the issues of the customs in
that port until he should obtain possession of the manor of Wodhorn which
Mary countess of Pembroke holds for life of the king's grant with reversion
to John and his heirs, and afterwards Elizabeth besought the king to grant
that rent to her, as John was killed by his enemies without making a will,
and his goods and chattels were taken away, and she had nothing wherewith
to maintain herself and her children, and the king granted her that rent and
the arrears thereof for the life of the said countess, and now John the son
has besought the king to order the said rent to be paid to him, as Elizabeth
is dead and he has nothing wherewith to live. |

To the bailiffs of Devises. Order to cause Thomas de Okeburn, whom the
king has appointed keeper of Charles de Bloys and his children, to have

To Robert de Ufford, earl of Suffolk. Order to pay a yearly ferm of
120l. henceforth and any arrears thereof at the exchequer so long as he
has the custody of two thirds of the manors of Hedersete and Bestthorp
and of two thirds of the lands in Wymondham, Bukenham and Denton,
co. Norfolk, which belonged to John Bernak, tenant in chief, and are in
the king's hand by reason of John's death and of the minority of his heir,
as although the king on 26 June in the 20th year of the reign committed
that custody to Robert to hold until the heir should come of age, rendering
120l. yearly in the king's chamber, the king wishes answer for the said
ferm and for any arrears thereof to be made at the exchequer. |

To the bishop of Durham or to his steward within the liberty of Durham.
Order to permit the collectors of the subsidy of cloth appointed by the
king to levy that subsidy in the said liberty, to seal cloth and arrest
the forfeitures pertaining to the king in that respect and to do all other
things touching their office there, informing the king in chancery without
delay if there is any reasonable cause why they should not do this, as the
magnates and commonalty of England in the great council assembled at
Westminster in the 27th year of the reign, for the remission of the
forfeiture pertaining to the king as of the right of his crown of the ulnage
of cloth, granted to him a subsidy of every cloth for sale beyond the custom
due thereon, to be taken of the vendor, and although in accordance with
the form of that grant the king appointed Robert de Penreth and Robert
de Thorneye to levy and collect that subsidy in the port of Newcastle upon
Tyne and in all places thence by the sea coast towards the north as far as
Berwick upon Tweed, and towards the south as far as Whiteby, and to seal
with the appointed seal every cloth on which such custom had been paid
and to take into the king's hands as forfeit all cloth exposed for sale not so
sealed, and now the king has learned from those collectors that the bishop
and his steward hinder them from exercising their office in the liberty of
Durham, and because both the great and petty customs are levied in that
liberty as elsewhere in the realm for the king's use, he will not be prejudiced
of that subsidy. |

of London. Order to pay to John de Coupeland and to Joan his wife or
to Robert de Wendout their attorney 95l. 2s. 7½d. for Michaelmas term last,
as on 21 May last the king granted that John and Joan should receive

should provide them with 190l. 5s. 3¾d. of land and rent for life, to have

has ordered the bishop to attend with the other prelates and magnates,
and now the king has learned that the bishop is making ready to cross to
parts beyond before the said day. By K. |

To the collectors of the custom of wool, hides and wool fells in the port
of London. Order to pay to Thomas de Bello Campo, earl of Warwick, or
to his attorney 250 marks for Michaelmas term last, in accordance with
the king's grant to them of 1,000 marks to be received yearly for life upon
the issues of the customs in that port and in the ports of Lenn and Boston,
and as there is no passage of wool at present in the port of Lenn the king
wishes the earl to be satisfied for the 500 marks for the said term in the

together with the issues of his lands, for which answer has not hitherto
been made by the sheriff at the exchequer, and also the bailwick of the
forestership of Teddesleye, as the king has pardoned Hugh all manner of
forfeitures pertaining to the king by reason of outlawries promulgated
against Hugh for the death of Philip de Lutteleye at the suit of Katherine,
late Philip's wife, and for the death of Philip de Whytemere, at the suit of
Agnes late his wife, for his withdrawal by reason of those felonies and for
breaking the Marshalsea prison in which he was detained for the reasons
aforesaid, and the king also granted to him the said bailiwick, seized into
the king's hand for the same cause. By p.s. [22923.] |

To the collectors of customs in the port of Kyngeston upon Hull. Order
to permit Lambert Scrynemakere, attorney of Baldwin de Fosse, burgess of
Bruges in Flanders, to lade so much wool and lead in that port whereon the
custom and subsidy extend to 2,000l. and to take them to Flanders without
paying the custom and subsidy thereon, certifying the king with all speed of
the quantity of wool and lead so laded, so that Lambert may be able
to answer to the king for 2,000l. in accordance with the form of his security,
and when that certification has been made the king will cause tallies for the
2,000l. to be levied at the receipt of the exchequer in discharge of the
collectors and he will cause them to have allowance in their account
by these, as Lambert is bound to pay 2,000l. for the custom and subsidy of
the wool and lead to be laded by him in that port for the use of Baldwin,
and Lambert and William Gauntz, merchant of Flanders, Roger Strikel of
York, Fulc de Horwode, William de Neuton, Hugh de Wichyngham, and
Adam de Horsford of London have bound themselves to John Piel of
London, merchant, in 4,000l. for security to pay the 2,000l. at London
within ten days from the time when the king is certified by the said
collectors in chancery of the lading of the lead and wool, as the said John,
whom the king charged to receive that bond, has certified in chancery. |
