To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king lately
learned that by reason of a recognisance for 10,000 marks made in chancery,
to Roger de Mortuo Mari, late earl of March, by James Daudele, while he
was a minor and in Roger's wardship, by the king's grant, the sheriff of
Stafford was ordered by the king by writ of the exchequer, after the lapse
of the terms of payment of the said money, to make known to James that
he should appear before the treasurer and barons at the exchequer on an
appointed day, now past, to show cause why the said 10,000 marks ought
not to be levied of his lands and chattels for the king's use, as the chattels
of Roger were forfeit to the king; and because James did not appear when
so summoned, as the sheriff has returned in the exchequer, it was considered
that the said money should be levied of the lands and chattels of James for
the king's use, and, afterwards at the prosecution of James by his
petition before the king and his council, beseeching the king to order that
recognisance to be annulled, as it was made by him while he was a minor,
the king ordered the treasurer and barons to view the transcripts of the
inquisitions post mortem of Nicholas Daudele, father of James, whose heir
he is, tenant in chief of the late king, which the king sent to them sub
pede sigilli regis, together with other evidences touching that matter, and
having obtained fuller information thereupon, to proceed to the discharge of
James of the said money; and now James has informed the king that
although it was found by the transcripts of the said inquisitions that he was
a minor when he made the said recognisance, yet the treasurer and barons
have hitherto delayed to do anything concerning this matter, and James
has besought the king to provide a remedy; the king, therefore, in consideration of the laudable service rendered to him by James, now chiefly in
war, in staying with the king at his own expense, orders the treasurer and
barons to view the transcripts of the said inquisitions so sent to the
exchequer, and if they find by inspection of the same that the recognisance
was made by James while still a minor, then to proceed to render judgment
for the discharge of James of the said money without delay, notwithstanding
the aforesaid consideration. By p.s. [8313.] |

Danyel of Eton, who married Elizabeth daughter and co-heir of the said
Robert, and of William de Brymmesleye, who married Eleanor, second
daughter and co-heir, and of Henry de Bolyngbrok, who married Isabella,
third daughter and co-heir of the said Robert, tenant in chief of the late
king, as the said daughters had proved their age before the escheator, and
the king rendered to Robert, Elizabeth, William, Eleanor, Henry and
Isabella, the purparties of Elizabeth, Eleanor and Isabella from the said
inheritance and ordered the escheator to make a legal partition of all the
lands, of which Robert de Wolryngton was seised in his demesne as of fee
at his death, into four equal parts, in the presence of John de Ripers, who
then held the said lands by the commission of the late king, until Robert
de Wolryngton should come of age, if he chose to attend, and to give to
Robert, Elizabeth, William, Eleanor, Henry and Isabella full seisin of their
purparties according to that partition, retaining in the king's hands the
purparty of Alice until further orders [as at page 78 above]; and now the

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the
demand which they had made on Edward de Sancto Johanne for the extent
of the manor of Estworldham, and to discharge and acquit him thereof at
the exchequer, provided that answer is made to the king by the said
Edward for that extent for every year, before Monday after Michaelmas in
the third year of the king's reign, as the king had ordered Robert Selyman
and John de Trevaignon to proceed to take an assize of novel disseisin
arramed before John de Stonore and the said John de Trevaignon by John
le Mareschal and Constance his wife, against Thomas, son of John de
Venuz, and Edward de Sancto Johanne and others concerning tenements in
East Worldham, notwithstanding that Thomas was a minor in the king's
wardship [as in this Calendar 3 Edward III., p. 487], wherefore on the
said Monday at Exeter, it was considered by the said Robert and John de
Trevaignon, that John le Mareschal and Constance should recover seisin
thereof and their damages, which were taxed at 60l. as fully appears by the
tenor of the record and process of that assize which the king caused to be
brought before him in chancery; and now the king has learned from
Edward that the treasurer and barons are distraining him for rendering the
extent of that manor every year after the rendering of the said judgment. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the late king at
his death was indebted to the abbot of Thornton in 22l. for 30 quarters of
wheat and 40 quarters of malt and in 14l. of a prest made to the said king
by the abbot for the expedition of the Scotch war as is fully contained in
the late king's letters patent made thereupon, and in 9l. 12s. for oats bought
from the abbot in the 9th year of the late king's reign as appears by a bill
under the seals of Ingelard de Warle, then keeper of the wardrobe, and of
Robert de Wodehouse, the king's clerk, then cofferer of the same wardrobe;
and in 6l. 10s. 10d. for sheep bought from the abbot for the expenses of the
house of the late king in the 5th and 8th years of his reign as appears by
two bills under the seals of the said Ingelard and John de Okham, then
cofferer of the wardrobe, which bills are in the abbot's possession, and afterwards, on 19 May in the 2nd year of his reign, the present king, wishing to
do special favour to the abbot, granted to him that in the next aid to be
made to the king by the clergy or by the community of the realm, full
allowance for the said debt should be made to the abbot in the sum which
he should be called upon to pay by reason of such aid; and the abbot has
now besought the king to cause such allowance to be made to him for that
debt in the tenth lately granted to the king by the clergy of the realm as he
has not hitherto obtained any payment for those sums; the king therefore
orders the treasurer and barons to view the portions of the said tenth now
touching the abbot, which are in the exchequer, and if they find that no payment or allowance has hitherto been made to the abbot of the said sums, then
to cause those sums to be allowed to the abbot in the said portions according
to the tenor of the king's grant, receiving from the abbot the king's letters
patent, ordering the collector of such tenth in Kesteven and Lyndes[eye], co.
Lincoln, in the province of Canterbury, and the collector of the same tenth
in co. York, in the province of York, by the king's writs of the exchequer,
to permit the abbot to remain undisturbed for the sums so allowed to him

Order not to molest the master and brethren of the hospital of St. John
without the east gate of Oxford by reason of the said tenth and fifteenth on
the goods of that hospital, but to permit them to be acquitted thereof, as the
hospital was founded by Henry III. for his alms, and is so slenderly
endowed, as the king has learned, that its goods hardly suffice for the
maintenance of the master and brethren and of the weak and sick there and
for other alms, and that if the hospital is charged with the aids lately
granted to the king it will behove the master and brethren to diminish the
said alms. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer and to the chamberlains.
Whereas on 25 July the king sent Master Richard de Bynteworth, his
clerk, to the Roman court for the the expedition of certain of his affairs
there enjoined upon him by the king, who granted to him that he should
receive 13s. 4d. for every day that he should remain in the king's service
on this side of the sea, and 20s. for every day beyond the sea, until his
return to the king, and that his reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
his passage to and from those parts, should be allowed to him, and the king
caused 50l. to be delivered to Richard in the wardrobe upon such expenses,
the king therefore orders the treasurer, barons, and chamberlains to allow

To the same. Because Elizabeth, eldest daughter and co-heir of John
Paynel, tenant in chief of the late king, whom Richard de Gascrik married,
has proved her age before the escheator, the king has taken Richard's fealty
for the purparty pertaining to him and Elizabeth from all the lands which
John held at his death of the late king in chief, the king therefore orders
the escheator to make a legal partition of those lands of which the said
John was seised in his demesne as of fee, in that bailiwick at his death,
into two equal portions, in the presence of Margaret de Daventre, if she
choose to attend, who holds those lands until the heirs of John shall come of
age, by the king's commission, and to cause Richard and Elizabeth, as eldest
daughter, to have full seisin of their purparty, according to that partition,

taken into the king's hands on Ralph's death, restoring the issues thereof,
because the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that
Ralph and Elizabeth jointly held the said messuages for themselves and
their issue of the king in burgage, by the service of rendering to the king
yearly for house tax (husegabulum) 2d. at Easter, for every service, and
