January 1337



Jan. 15. The Tower.	To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer, Dublin. Order to cause Elizabeth de Burgo, one of the heirs of Gilbert de Clare, tenant in chief of the late king, to have respite, until Christmas next, for all the debts which Gilbert owed at the exchequer, unless the king orders otherwise in the meantime, as the late king ordered the treasurer and barons of the said exchequer to accept sufficient security from the executors of Gilbert's will for rendering any debts which he owed at the exchequer to the said king, as far as Gilbert's goods and chattels would suffice, and to cause the executors to have full and free administration of all those goods and chattels in Ireland, for making execution of the said will, and the king ordered the treasurer and barons to inspect the rolls and memoranda touching the premises in the chancery of England, and to inform the king as quickly as possible whether the said security was taken, the said goods delivered to the executors, and of the value thereof, and the king has given Elizabeth the respite for the said debts which are exacted of her by reason of the lands which she holds in her purparty of the lands which belonged to Gilbert.
