To the sheriff of Salop and Stafford. Order to cause proclamation to be

Aug. 10.
Stamford. |
To the abbot of Cîteaux and the diffinitores of the chapter-general of the
order about to be celebrated at Cîteaux. The king has sent to them
manifold prayers that they would grant the paternity or immediate
superiority of the abbey of Ystrad Marchell (Stratamarcell') in Powys, of
their order, which is affiliated to the abbey of Whitland (Blanka Landa),
to the abbot and convent of Bildewas, because the abbey of Whitland is
situate in Wales and is ruled by the levity of the Welsh, and by the
negligence and carelessness of the abbots of that place the abbey of Ystrad
Marchell is so wasted in its goods and possessions, and is reduced as it
were to nothing, and there is not there regular observance, and because unlawful assemblies to excite contentions and hatred between the English and
Welsh have been there entered into, as has been many times related; and
they committed the superiority to the abbot of Bildewas until they should
otherwise ordain, being unwilling to prejudice the abbot of Whitland concerning his right in this behalf, lest a personal offence should redound to
the damage of his church, as the abbots of Dore and of Thame have informed the king on behalf of the said abbot and diffinitores: the king,
considering that this cannot in any way suffice for the reformation of the
estate of the abbey and that the perils that may arise out of such assemblies
through the contumacy of the Welsh cannot be thus avoided, requests the
abbot and diffinitores, duly considering his prayers sent to them so often in
this connexion, to grant the superiority of the abbey of Ystrad Marchell to
the said house of Bildewas in perpetual right, since not only crime and
negligence but also just and reasonable cause demand it, and that they will
impose perpetual silence concerning this matter upon the abbot of Whitland,
understanding that the king has this matter so at heart that he can scarcely
be at peace in his mind until he know that it has been put into effect. |
|
To the abbot of Cîteaux. Like letter, requesting him to assent to the
transference of the superiority to the house of Bildewas as above. |
|
The like, 'mutatis mutandis,' to the abbot of Clairvaux, requesting him
to urge the aforesaid matter before the abbot of Cîteaux and the
diffinitores. |
Aug. 10.
Stamford. |
To L. bishop of Durham. Order to appoint Ralph de Nevill to array the
knights, esquires, and all other fencible men of the bishop's liberty, so that
they be ready to set out against the contrariants and rebels who lately left
the realm, and to survey and ordain that all places on the sea coast within
that liberty where ships may arrive shall be so kept that peril may not arise
to the king or his realm by the entry of the said rebels into that liberty, so
conducting himself in this matter that the king may not have reason to
punish (materiam capiendi) the bishop or his liberty of Durham, as the
king lately ordered proclamation to be made that all knights and others
capable of bearing arms shall prepare themselves with horses and arms as
speedily as possible, so that they shall be ready to set out against the said
rebels if they invade the realm, and he has appointed certain of his subjects in
divers counties to cause knights, esquires, and other fencible men in those
counties to be arrayed, and bring them armed and arrayed to the king or to
those whom he shall appoint when summoned, to set out against the said
rebels. The king makes this order in consideration of the perils that may
arise from the coming of the rebels into the liberty of the bishopric, and
as the premises cannot be executed by the bishop within the liberty by
reason of the character (honestatem) of holy church, and he wills that they
shall be executed by the said Ralph, in whose faithfulness he confides.
