To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer and to the

that the treasurer and chamberlains shall pay every year of the

palace according to the king's letters patent so much of 66l. 13s. 4d.
of rent issuing from certain houses within the staple of Westminster
as by inquisition or otherwise the treasurer and the barons may
lawfully be assured that they might not heretofore or henceforth may
not take for the cause hereinafter mentioned; as on 1 January in the
27th year of his reign the king by letters patent gave to the said dean
and canons and to their successors, to hold in frank almoin of the
king and other the chief lords of the fee, the chamber within the gate by
the king's bridge sometime of the clerk of the kitchen where an entry
is now opened into the said chapel, the houses within the said palace
aforetime appointed for stables of the king's destriers and other his
horses, his garden there as it extends in length and breadth between
the said houses and the lodging sometime of the earl of Kent [in]
the town of Westminster to the same adjoining, and the said lodging
as fully as the king had the same of the gift of John late earl of Kent,
and all the tenements in the said town which were of Roger de
Hayton the king's surgeon deceased, whereof the said Roger's heirs
made a release and quitclaim to the king and his heirs; and after
by other letters patent granted them the rent aforesaid in part of
500l. yearly of lands and rents by him formerly granted to them,
so that if that rent should cease wholly or in part, or if at another
time they should be anywise hindered in taking the same, they should
every year at the exchequer have and take of the treasury so much
as should be lacking of the said rent until provision should by the
king and his heirs be made them of particular rents to the value
thereof to be for ever possessed by them and their successors; and
now the said dean and canons have prayed the king to cause payment
to be made them of the arrears of that rent, as by removal of the
said staple it has in great part ceased so that they might not nor yet
may take the same; and it is the king's will that his said grant shall
take effect. It is not the king's intent that the chamber, houses,
garden, lodging and tenements granted to them as aforesaid in almoin
be charged with the said rent of 66l. 13s. 4d. By C. |

marks for four years past adjudged as hereinafter mentioned to John
son and heir of Robert de Maners tenant in chief, a minor in the
king's wardship, as 10 marks every year henceforward for his
maintainance until he shall come of age to be levied of his father's
lands committed to Edward de Letham deceased, and to be delivered to
the said heir, according to the effect of the said judgment; as lately at
his suit averring that the king committed to the said Edward the
wardship of two carucates of land in Ethale, 4s. of rent in Tossam
and the third part of the manor of Ethale, held of the said heir's
heritage by Alina who was wife of the said Robert (then deceased),
to hold until the said heir's lawful age finding him competent maintenance, and that from the time of the said Alina's death the said
Edward would find him no maintenance, the king ordered the then
sheriff to give the said Edward notice to be in chancery at a set day
now past to shew cause wherefore he ought not to content the said
heir for his maintenance since her death and find him the same
thenceforward until his lawful age according to the king's letters
patent, and further to do and receive what the court should determine
in that behalf; and by process thereupon made it was determined
that the said heir should have for his maintenance 40 marks for four
years then past and thenceforward 10 marks a year until his lawful
age; and afterwards on behalf of the said heir the king was informed
that in the said Edward's life time he might not by virtue of that
judgment obtain any maintenance competent for his estate, wherefore
the king ordered the sheriff to give notice to the said Edward's
executors to be in chancery in the quinzaine of St. John Baptist last
in order to shew cause wherefore they ought not to content the said
heir of the 40 marks so adjudged to him and thenceforward to pay
him 10 marks a year according to the king's letters patent and the
said judgment, and further to do and receive what the court should
determine, and the sheriff returned that he gave notice accordingly
to Robert Claveryng knight and Joan his wife executrix of the said
Edward; at which day Robert de Claveryng and Joan came by
Thomas de Stanley clerk their attorney, and the said heir by Hugh
de Mitford his guardian, and with their assent a day was given in the
octaves of Trinity then next, at which day the parties came, and
the said Robert and Joan said nought to the purpose wherefore they
ought not to content the said heir as aforesaid. |

To the justiciary of Ireland, the treasurer and the barons of the
exchequer of Ireland. Order, if assured that the prior of Lanthony
in Wales has by his proctor in Ireland borne all manner of charges
and imposts for the expenses of the war in Ireland reasonably laid upon
the clergy of Ireland and falling upon him in respect of his temporalities in Ireland since Easter in the 43rd year of the reign, and has
with the said clergy paid tenths and other payments in respect of his
ecclesiastical benefices there, to take of him or his said proctor security
for payment of all such charges, imposts, tenths and other payments
in future, and to remove the king's hand from his temporalities and
spiritualities in Ireland, suffering him by himself or his said proctor
to take the issues and profits thereof remaining over and above such
charges and payments, and without let to bring the same to England
for the maintenance of himself and of the convent, notwithstanding
that the prior dwells not in person in Ireland; and order to the said
treasurer and the barons to stay their demand made by exchequer
summons upon the said prior to answer to the king for the issues
of his said temporalities and spiritualities since Easter aforesaid
which are not yet levied, discharging the prior thereof; as by
complaint made on his behalf it is shewn the king that the greatest
part of his maintenance and the maintenance of his convent consists
in the issues and profits of his temporalities and ecclesiastical benefices
in Ireland, that in all times past he has been used to bring the same
from Ireland to his house in England for their maintenance, that
though by his said proctor he has heretofore borne and paid and is
ready to bear and pay with others of the clergy of Ireland the charges,
tenths and payments aforesaid, by colour of an ordinance lately
made with the assent of the council that all lords and others of
England having or claiming lordships or lands in Ireland should be there
at Easter aforesaid to dwell upon their said lands and upon the
conquest thereof, or should at their own cost send other people there
to dwell upon the defence, ruling and conquest of the same, all his said
temporalities and all his ecclesiastical benefices are taken into the
king's hand, and that moreover he is unlawfully distrained to answer
to the king at the exchequer at Dublin for the issues of the said
temporalities and benefices, wherefore he has prayed for livery of his
said possessions, and to be discharged of the issues thereof not yet
taken or levied for which he is distrained as aforesaid. |
