grant him 100s. yearly in aid of his maintenance, to be received yearly by

Wallingford. |
To Geoffrey le Scrop and his fellows, justices, appointed to hold pleas before
the king. It has been shown to the king on behalf of Queen Philippa, complaining that whereas the hospital of St. Katherine without the Tower of
London is of the foundation of Eleanor, sometime queen of England, the
king's great grandmother, and is in the patronage of Queen Philippa, and
endowed with divers possessions by the gift of the said Eleanor, and although
Eleanor in the foundation of that hospital, reserved for herself and succeeding
queens of England the full and free power of ordaining or providing a suitable master or keeper in that hospital after the death or cession of each keeper
or master, and also of changing certain articles in the said foundation for the
amelioration of that hospital, as fully appears in Eleanor's charter, which
was confirmed by the king's grandfather and father; and Eleanor and succeeding queens have disposed of the custody of the hospital and with the
presentation and amoving of the masters or keepers, without interference from
the king or his predecessors, yet those justices intend to proceed to the discussion of an affair which is pending before the king between Richard de
Lusteshull, who pretends that he is master of that hospital, and Roger
Bast, possessing the custody thereof, upon those things which touch the
disposition and ordaining of the custody of the hospital and the prosecution
or amovement of the keeper of the same, wherefore the said queen has besought the king to provide a remedy; the king therefore orders those justices
to view the said charter and confirmations, and if they shall find that they are
as aforesaid, then to supersede the said plea between the said Richard and
Richard, informing them on the king's behalf that they shall prosecute that
affair before the queen and her council if they see fit to do so.

of the minority of Laurence, John's son and heir, to hold, as others have
hitherto held it, until the heir shall come of age. By p.s. [7495.] |
