120 acres of land, and 16 acres of meadow in Nether Whitewell, restoring
the issues to Geoffrey, parson of Langeton church, as the king ordered
the escheator to inform him for what reason those lands had been taken
into his hand by John de Houton, late escheator this side Trent, and
John de Louthre returned that none of the said lands were taken into
the king's hand by John de Houton, but that John de Houton took
into the king's hand 4 tofts and 120 acres of land in that town, which
Margaret, late the wife of Thomas de Staveley, held for life as of the
inheritance of the heir of John de Harcla, a minor in the king's wardship;
and afterwards at the prosecution of Geoffrey informing the king that
Thomas de Staveley had lately granted the said tofts, 120 acres of land and
16 acres of meadow, by his deed, to Geoffrey for life, and that the said lands
do not belong to the said inheritance, the king ordered that escheator
to take an inquisition on the matter, by which it was found that Thomas,
25 years ago, gave and granted the said lands to Geoffrey for life, rendering
thereupon 60s. yearly to Thomas and his heirs, and that Margaret held no
other lands for life or otherwise of the said inheritance in that town, and
by an inquisition taken after her death it was found that the said tenements
are not held of the king. |

To John de Louthre, escheator in cos. York, Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmorland. Order not to intermeddle further with the manor
of Skyrwyth, restoring the issues, as the escheator had informed the king at
his order that he had taken the manor into the king's hand because Walter
son of Robert, tenant in chief of the late king, who held the said manor by
the service of cornage, rendering 32s. a year thereon, alienated it to Robert,
his son, in fee, and that Robert alienated the said manor in fee to John de
Lancastre, and John alienated the manor in fee to Thomas de Halughton,
parson of Kyrkeland church, and Thomas alienated the manor in fee to
John de Aula, chaplain; and afterwards John de Aula alienated the manor
to John de Lancastre, without obtaining the licence of the king or his
father; and afterwards the king learned from John de Lancastre that the
said manor is held of Thomas de Burgh, and not of the king, and the king
ordered that escheator to take an inquisition on the matter, by which it is
found that the manor is held of Thomas de Burgh, knight, by the service of
32s. to cornage for every service, and not of the king, and that it is worth
50s. yearly in all issues. |

and the moiety of a certain salt-pit in Le Northwych, from the time the said
manor and moiety have been in the king's hand, and to pay them the said
rent henceforth as long as the manor and moiety shall remain in the king's
hand, as the prioress and nuns have besought the king before him and his
council by their petition, to cause the manor and moiety to be delivered to
them, as they had demised the said manor and moiety by their deed to
Roger Stark and to his wife and their children, until the end of 14 years,
not yet passed, for the said rent, and the said manor and moiety were taken
by the justice into the king's hands, because of certain felonies and
trespasses committed by Robert against the king's peace in the county of
Chester, and the said rent has been detained from the prioress and nuns. |

the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England to distrain for the rents
and services which the brethren of the Knights Templars had been
accustomed to receive, before the cession of their order, from tenements
which certain men of that county hold, as these men refuse to pay the said
rents and services to the prior and brethren of the Hospital of St. John,
against the tenor of a statute passed three weeks after Purification in the
17th year of the late king's reign, providing that all the lands which had
been in the hands of the Templars as of their right at the time of their
cession, should be assigned and delivered to the said prior and brethren, by
whom the king has been informed that these men have wilfully withdrawn
the said rents and services. Et erant patencia. |

them for the great sums of money which they have paid and lent for him at
his request, as fully appears by divers letters patent under the great seal

king wishes the merchants to be speedily satisfied for the said 9,533l. of the

part, and Robert, pleading in that court, alleged that Edward I. had granted
to Robert de Clifford his father, whose heir he is, the said manor of Hert,

without the king, upon which pretext the justices have hitherto delayed to

which belonged to Edmund, late earl of Arundel, his father, at his death,

in the same parts, as the said goods and chattels and the debts which were
owing to Edmund in those parts were granted to Roger de Mortuo Mari,
late the king's enemy, and a certain part of those goods and chattels was
found in those manors and lands in the time when the king rendered the
said manors and lands to Richard, together with other manors and lands
which are of his inheritance, together with the debts which were owed to
Roger by the men and tenants of the lordship of the said earl on the day
on which Roger forfeited to the king, the king, wishing to do special
favour to Richard because of his good service, granted him to the value of
300l. as a gift, for the goods and chattels of this kind, and the debts owed
to Roger, and ordered the treasurer and barons to make an assignment to

first moiety to be delivered on the date aforesaid to the abbot of St. Mary's,
York, whom the king appointed receiver of the said money, yet for certain
reasons the king wishes the second moiety to be delivered with the other

safe until further orders, as it was lately found by inquisition taken by
Gilbert de Ledred, late escheator in the said counties, that she held
no lands at her death in chief in her demesne as of fee of the king in
chief as of the crown, but that she held certain lands of other lords by divers
services, and that John Bolle of Swynesheved, her uncle, was her next heir,
and of full age, and the king ordered that escheator not to intermeddle
further with the said lands, but now the king understands that Cicely
held certain lands in Conyngesby, in her demesne as of fee, of the king as
of the crown, by which the custody of her lands ought to belong to the king. |

rent in Reynham near Degenham, and to cause full and speedy justice to
be done to the parties, but not to proceed to render judgment without consulting the king; as Richard has shown the king by his petition before him
and his council in parliament, that Thomas alleged before those justices,
that the said tenements were the manor of Reynham, which the king had
lately granted to him by charter, to hold after the death of William Melchet,
to whom the king had formerly granted that manor for life, and William had
afterwards delivered the estate which he had in that manor to Thomas, who
was seised of that manor by virtue of the king's charter aforesaid, wherefore

To Geoffrey le Scrop and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas before
the king. Whereas it was lately found by inquisition taken before Robert
de Malberthorp and his fellows, late the king's justices, assigned for superintending the making and filling of walls, ditches, gutters, sewers, bridges,
causeys and weirs in the parts of Kestevene and Holand, and for doing
other things, that the prior of the chapel of St. Saviour ought to repair
and maintain the causey of Holandbrigg, and 30 bridges over the same
by fixed measures and boundaries, the king caused the record and process
of the said inquisition to be brought before him at the prosecution of
the prior, who asserted that he ought not to be charged with such repairs
and maintenances, and afterwards by the petition of the prior before the
king and council in the last parliament, at York, the king learned that in
the rendering of judgment upon the process of the said affair, afterwards
held before the king, there was a manifest error, to the prejudice of the
prior; and the king caused the tenor of that record and process to be
brought before him and his council in the same parliament, and because
by the inspection thereof it fully appeared that Godewin, a rich man
(dives) of Lincoln, founder of the said priory, granted the place of
St. Saviour de Ponte Aslaci and certain other lands to the brethren of the
order of Sempyngham dwelling there, so that the goods arising therefrom
should be expended there in praise of the Saviour and for the maintenance
of the brethren dwelling there, and what was over was to be devoted to
the reparation of the said bridge, and the error in the rendering of the
said judgment was occasioned because, by the founder's charter, the
maintenance of the prior and brethren is the first care, and by that judgment the said maintenance was made accessory to the repair of the said
causey; the king therefore orders the justices to view the record and
process of the said affair, and to cause them to be amended in this respect,
and to discover the value of the lands conferred on the priory by the said
founder, and also to find out a way by which the reparation of the said
bridge, affecting the said prior, may be made certain; and so to ordain
further that judgment may be rendered thereupon; and to cause the distraint made on the prior for this cause to be superseded, during the discussion of that affair before the king. By pet. of C. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to admit him
whom Nicholas de Teukesbury, clerk, shall depute in his place for fulfilling
his duties in the office which Nicholas de Acton, clerk, held in the exchequer
for the life of Nicholas de Teukesbury by the king's grant, provided the deputy
is sufficient and fit for this, as the king had granted the said office to Nicholas
de Teukesbury for his good service and in consideration of the grant and
surrender which Nicholas de Teukesbury made to the king of his lordship
and right in the town of Clifton Dertemuth and Hardenasse, to hold for
life, receiving the accustomed fee, as appears in the letters patent granted to
Nicholas de Teukesbury, who has petitioned the king that he may depute a
substitute, as he himself is at present unable to fulfil the duties of that
office owing to a severe sickness. |

Housum to pay off a debt of 25l. which he owes to the king in instalments
of 50s., paid twice yearly, according to the king's grant, taking security
from the said John for the payment of the debt as aforesaid, and to cause
Adam de Wythyford, late the chamberlain of North Wales, to be discharged
of that sum, as John has besought the king to grant him an attermination
for that debt, as Adam in his account at the exchequer charged himself with
25l. from the arrears of the account of John de Maners, late sheriff of
Kaernarvan, deceased, which 25l. John de Housum undertook to pay to
the king for the mainpernors of John de Maners, whom he found at the
exchequer of Kaernarvan to answer to the king faithfully for the issues of
his bailiwick and for the tenants of the lands which belonged to John de
Maners. By C. |

of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Order not to permit any one to take or cause to
be taken such wool, hides, or wool-fells out of the said port on any pretext,
unless he shall first pay the custom due to the king thereupon, and to inform
the treasurer and barons of the exchequer of the names of those whom they
can discover not to have satisfied the king for this custom before this time,
as the king has learned from several persons that divers men, merchants and
others, asserting that they wished to take wool, hides and wool-fells from the
said port to another place within the realm, have taken the same by their
ships and boats out of the said port, and have crossed to foreign parts without having paid the custom due to the king. By C. |

To the taxers and collectors of the tenth and fifteenth in co. Kent. Order
to supersede the taxing and levying of the said tenth and fifteenth for this
time from the goods of the hospital of the Maison Dieu (domus dei), Dover,
and to restore without delay to the master and brethren thereof anything
which had been levied on them for that cause, as the said master and
brethren have besought the king—showing that the late king pardoned the
master and brethren of that time the taxation of their goods and possessions,
granted to the king by the community of the realm, because the goods of
that hospital were not sufficient for the maintenance of the master and
brethren, and of the poor and infirm who came to it, and for other alms
ordained by the king's progenitors—to be pleased to grant them a like grace
for the same reason, and the king has pardoned them their quota of the said
aid for this turn. By p.s. [6257.] |

the staples for the land of Wales shall be held at Shrewsbury and Kermerdyn, and not in the town of Kerdif, which is not the king's town, and that
the merchants shall go with their wool, hides, and wool-fells to the said
towns of Shrewsbury and Kermerdyn, and not to Kerdif, although it was
lately agreed that the staple of wool, hides, and wool-fells for Wales should
be held at Shrewsbury, Kermerdyn, and Kerdyf, and not elsewhere, because
in the present parliament at York it was ordained that the staples for the
realm should be held in the king's cities and towns and in no others. |

Whereas the king lately appointed them to levy and collect the said aid,
and to deliver the money thereof at the exchequer, to wit, one moiety on the
morrow of Purification last, and the other moiety on the morrow of Trinity
following, as appears fully in the letters patent granted to them, and the
king afterwards ordered them to pay the first moiety at York, to the abbot
of St. Mary's, York, whom the king had appointed receiver of the said aid,
and now the king understands that they levied divers sums of money of the
said tax beyond the said moiety, and retain them; he therefore orders them
to cause all such money to be brought to York, and to be delivered to the
said abbot. By C. |

the castles of North Wales and provide them with sufficient victuals, by the
advice and information of Edward de Bohun, justice of North Wales, or
of him who supplies his place, or of those whom the justice shall have
deputed in his place, and to cause the defects in the said castles to be repaired
where repairs are most needed, from the issues of that bailiwick, as the king
understands that the said castles are insufficiently provided with victuals,
and that several defects are found in them, from which they might suffer
danger and harm if a remedy is not quickly supplied. By K. |
Feb. 20.
Pontefract. |
To Edward de Bohun, justice of North Wales. The like order, and

To the same. Order to superintend the castles of North Wales and their
custodies, and to find out by inquisition concerning the conduct of the
constables and keepers and other bailiffs and officials, and to amove from

conducted themselves well in their custodies, and who do not support the
burdens upon them for the fees which they receive from the king, or who do
not attend to their offices as they ought, and to cause the castles to be
guarded by others in whom that justice has confidence, until further
orders, and further to amove those bailiffs and officers who shall be found

bailiwicks and offices into the king's hand, and appoint deputies to the
custody of the said offices and bailiwicks until further orders, and to
chastise and punish the bailiffs and officers who have conducted themselves
negligently in their offices, as is becoming; as the king has heard that the
constables and keepers of the said castles conduct themselves negligently in
their custodies, and collect great sums of money yearly for those custodies,
to which they do not attend personally, and do not support the charges of
those custodies, and that several others having bailiwicks and offices in those
parts conduct themselves badly, and some of them obtain several bailiwicks,
whereby the people of those parts are oppressed and burdened. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause allowance
to be made to John Paynel, late chamberlain of Chester, in his account, for

wardrobe, and for which an assignment was made to William on the ferms
of the cities of York and Lincoln, under colour of an order of the king to
the treasurer, barons, and chamberlains for paying the said sum, are still
owing, and William is prevented from satisfying himself from the said ferms
on account of certain other assignments made afterwards thereupon; the
king therefore orders the said treasurer, barons, and chamberlains to cause
William to have an assignment for the arrears of that sum elsewhere, after
an examination of the rolls and memoranda touching the same, if William
has been prevented from taking the said sum from these ferms by just
causes. By pet. of C. |

to the king for the custody of the said lands, to be received yearly in recompence for those 500 marks which the king previously granted to him, to be
received at the exchequer yearly, until it should be so provided that he
could maintain himself properly, and the king ordered Roger to pay the said
500 marks yearly to Henry, and the king learns from Henry that Roger
has refused to pay him the said sum upon the pretext of an assignment
made previously to Peter de Grandissono for receiving 200 marks yearly
from the said ferm until he is satisfied for 400l. which the king owes to
him: the king, wishing to ascertain how much was paid to Peter of the said
400l. by Roger, and how much is at present in arrears, orders Roger to
inform him without delay of what Peter has received from him, and what
arrears are due to Peter, and to pay to Henry the said 300 marks remaining, and after Peter has been satisfied for the said 400l., to pay Henry
the said 500 marks according to the tenor of the king's said order. |

the count of Guelders (Gerle), as they had informed the king by their
letters, for which the king renders them special thanks. By K. |
