Wylcher of Eyton, the bailiwick of the hundred of Cothulston, co. Stafford,
together with the issues thereof, until otherwise ordered, notwithstanding
the king's previous order to take such hundreds into his hands, as William
de Sharehull, who held that bailiwick for life by the grant of the late king,
rendering to the said king the ferm due thereupon by the hands of the
sheriff of that county, lately demised that bailiwick to Thomas to hold for
the same term, as the king has learned, and the king accepting this demise
granted the bailiwick to Thomas to hold for life, rendering to the king the
said ferm yearly by the hands of the sheriff of the county, and the king
ordered the treasurer and barons of the exchequer to restore that hundred to
Thomas, notwithstanding the order to take such hundreds into the king's
hands, to hold until the next parliament, and in the parliament summoned
at York on Monday before St. Peter in Cathedra last it was agreed that
those who hold such hundreds in fee or for life by the grant of the king or his
father shall hold them under a certain form, wherefore the king ordered the
treasurer and barons to inquire how much the said Thomas, William and

bailiwick at her death, which ought to remain to the king and his heirs
after her death, but that John and Idonia held the said rent jointly for

Order to cause the seals called 'coket' to be brought to the treasury from
the places where the staples have been appointed, and in which the customs
of wool, hides and wool-fells were not formerly collected, immediately after
the quinzaine of Trinity next, and to be kept there, and to cause other such
seals of the king in their custody in the treasury to be sent without delay
to the places where those customs were collected before the ordinance of the
staple, to be delivered to those who ought to have the custody thereof, as
because it was lately ordered by the king and his council that the staple of
wool, hides and wool-fells should be held at certain places in England,
Wales and Ireland and not elsewhere, the king ordered the treasurer, barons
and chamberlains to cause the seals called 'coket' for the places where such
customs were formerly collected to be brought to the exchequer and to be
kept there, and to cause other seals called 'coket' to be manufactured anew
for the collection of those customs in the said staples, and to be sent to the
places where the staples should be, to be delivered to those who ought to
have the custody thereof; and at the request of the prelates, earls, barons
and community of the realm in the last parliament at York, the king granted
that the said staples should cease and be destroyed; and for certain reasons
the king wishes all wool, hides and wool-fells which are bought by denizen
or alien merchants within the kingdom, until the said quinzaine, and carried
out of the kingdom, to be taken to the places where the said staples were
formerly appointed, to pay custom, according to the ordinance of the staple,

lands, as the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that
Thomas held that moiety in his demesne as of fee at his death by the service
of rendering 1d. to the ferm of that city yearly for every service, and that
he held no other lands there of the king in chief as of the crown, by reason
whereof the custody of his lands ought to pertain to the king, but that he held
divers other lands of other lords by divers services and that Thomas his son
is his next heir and aged 10 years. |

sheriff of Salop has shown to the king that whereas the king lately committed
to William fitz Waryn the custody of Montgomery castle, to hold under a
certain form, contained in the king's letters patent, and although from the
time of that grant William had received the whole of the issues of the
hundred of Chirbury in that county, by virtue of the said commission, as pertaining to that castle, so that Richard could not intermeddle in any way therewith, yet the treasurer and barons, having no consideration for the premises
intend to charge Richard in his account at the exchequer with the said
issues for the time when he held that county, and to cause those issues to
be levied from him for the king's use, whereupon Richard has besought the
king to provide a remedy; the king therefore orders the treasurer and
barons to inspect their rolls and memoranda and if they shall find that the said
hundred pertains to that castle, and that Richard has not received the issues
thereof from the time of the said commission, as he says, then to discharge and acquit Richard of the said issues from that time. By pet. of C. |

of Katherine, late the wife of William Giffard, by the service of a pair of

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas it was lately
ordained by the king and council that the staples of wool, hides, and woolfells, should be held at certain places in England, Wales and Ireland and
not elsewhere, and the king had ordered the treasurer and barons to cause
the seals called 'coket' for the places where such customs of wool, hides,
and wool-fells were collected before the said ordinance, to be brought to
the exchequer and kept there, and other seals called coket for the collectors
of those customs in the said staples to be newly manufactured, and also the
weighing beams for weighing the wool to be newly made and examined by
the standard of the weighing beam of London; and at the request of the last
parliament at York the king granted that the said staples should cease and
be destroyed, and wished that all wool, hides, and wool-fells, which were
bought by denizen or alien merchants before the quinzaine of Trinity last,
and taken out of the kingdom, should be taken to the said staples to pay
custom; the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to cause the
said seals and weighing beams for places where the staples were ordained
and in which the said customs were not collected before the said ordinance,
to be brought to the treasury immediately after the said quinzaine, and
kept there, and to cause other such seals and weighing beams in the
treasury in their custody to be sent without delay to places where the
said customs were collected before the ordinance of the said staples and at
which such staples were not held. By C. |
