writ of quo warranto, the archbishop claiming to have the prises of wine in
the said port; and the council learning that foreign merchants were charged
with double prises on their wines at the said port for one and the same
cause, namely 2s. to the king on each tun of wine, and two tuns from each
ship to the archbishop, one before and the other behind the mast, so that the
merchants have withdrawn themselves and will not cease to do so unless a
remedy is quickly applied, and in order that the said merchants may have
no cause for withdrawing from the said port, it is agreed by the king's
council and the archbishop that 2s. on every tun be levied on every other
ship laden with the wines of alien merchants and coming to that port until
Michaelmas next for the king's use, and two tuns of wine as aforesaid from
the remaining ships for the archbishop until the said feast, and that all the
money so levied there for the king's benefit shall be received and guarded

considers that the archbishop ought to have the said prises of wine in that
port, then full satisfaction shall be given to the archbishop from that money
for the value of the said two tuns from each ship, and answer shall be made to
the king for the remainder; and William Talbot, Arnald Carbonel,
Reymund de Boligon, Peter Mauran, Peter Nicol, and Stephen Peryn,
merchants of the duchy of Aquitaine, have informed the king that the
bailiffs of the archbishop in the port of Hull took seven tuns of the wine
brought by them and other foreign merchants to the said port, before the
said agreement, for the prises of the archbishop, from four ships called 'la
Seint Johan' of Yarmouth, 'la Seinte Marie,' 'cogg' of Ravenser, 'la
Grace de Dieu' of Yarmouth, and 'la Faucon' of Zierikzee (Sirise), but
those collectors also levied 2s. on each tun of the said wines for the king's
benefit from the same merchants, who have besought the king to cause the
said prise of 2s. a tun so levied for the king's use to be restored to them;
the king therefore orders the collectors to restore the money so taken to the
merchants without delay, provided that 2s. a tun on every other ship,
charged with the wines of alien merchants and coming to that port henceforth until Michaelmas next, be levied for the king's benefit, and kept
according to the form of the aforesaid agreement. |

grant, whereof he showed the king's letters patent before the justices, and
that the said third part is parcel of the manor of Mawardyn, so that Maurice

To Geoffrey le Scrop and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas before
the king. Whereas lately at the prosecution of Richard de Lusteshull, clerk,
by his petition before the king and his council in parliament, showing that
Isabella, the queen mother had given and granted to him the custody of the
hospital of St. Katherine, near the Tower of London, for life, and that he
had been seised of the said custody for no small time until the said queen
wilfully amoved him from it, the king sent that petition and the transcript of a certain charter before the justices for holding pleas before him,
ordering them to cause justice to be done after having examined the said peti
tion and transcript, and summoned before them all who ought to be summoned,
and further to cause justice to be done in this respect, upon which pretext
they caused Roger Bast to appear before them who unjustly deforced the
said hospital from Richard, as alleged, to answer for the same and to do and
receive what the king's court might decide; and afterwards at the prosecution of Roger by his petition, also before the king and his council—showing
the king that Richard was amoved by the visitors of the hospital from the
custody thereof, for divers wastes and destructions done by him there of
which he was convicted before the said visitors, and that Roger held the
said custody of the gift and grant of Queen Philippa, and beseeching the
king that he might be called to answer for the same—the king sent the
petition to the justices ordering them to view the petition and to cause
the said visitation to come before them, and also Roger and others whom
they shall see fit to summon, and to cause speedy justice to be done upon
the contents of the petition; and afterwards—at the petition of the said
Richard before the king and council, showing that Roger took no heed to
appear before the justices to answer Richard concerning the premises,
because another penalty is not ordained against Roger for his defaults and
for the loss of his issues which are always levied of the goods and chattels
of the said hospital—the king caused Roger to come before him and the
council to answer concerning the premises, and Roger came in person before
the king and council and alleged that he had a day before the justices upon
the premises, and that he ought not lawfully to answer thereupon elsewhere,
wherefore the king gave Roger a certain day, to wit, three weeks after
Easter in the 6th year of the reign, and enjoined him to be before the justices
to answer Richard concerning the aforesaid matters; and because Roger,
accumulating defaults upon defaults, has not taken heed to answer Richard
in this respect, before the justices on the day so fixed or hitherto, losing
his issues which are levied of the goods of the said hospital as Richard has
informed the king, the king orders the justices to proceed with all speed to
the final discussion of that affair, having viewed the record and process
taken before them thereupon, if they shall find that Roger did not appear
before them on the day appointed. By C. |

To R. bishop of Coventry and Lichfield, keeper of the wardrobe of the
late king. Elizabeth, late the wife of David de Langeton, constable of
Werk castle, executrix of her husband's will, has besought the king by her
petition before him and his council in the last parliament at York, that—
whereas the late king, at the time when David laid down his said office,
ordered him by writ of privy seal to retain the men then staying in the
said castle for its defence, in the fealty of the said king, in all possible ways,
at the said king's wages, and upon the pretext of this order, David led the
said men with him to the king's castle of Baumburgh, and retained them
in the late king's service there, for the defence of that castle and of the parts
adjacent to it, from the time when he laid down the said custody until the
28 September in the 13th year of the late king's reign, at such wages as
they had received in the said castle of Werk, for which wages no allowance or
other satisfaction was made to David or to his executrix or to any other
person in his name—the king will cause account to be made with the
executrix for the wages so paid, and further cause what is just and
reasonable to be done thereupon: the king therefore orders the bishop to
view the order of the late king and the books and memoranda of the said
wardrobe, and if it is found that no account, allowance or payment was
made to David or his representative for the said wages, then to account
with the executrix for the wages paid by David for the said time, and cause
a bill thereupon to be made and delivered to her. By pet. of C. |
