To the takers, purveyors and receivers of wool in co. Hertford. Order
to supersede the taking of the wool of the abbot of St. Albans exacted
of him by reason of his spiritualities and the temporalities annexed thereto, on which he paid the tenth with the clergy, as although the clergy
of the realm in the last parliament at Westminster granted a moiety
of the wool to the king for his affairs and the defence of the realm, yet
because the abbot was not summoned to that parliament and sent no
proctors there, as the king is fully informed, and as he has granted,
with the clergy of the province of Canterbury, in their congregation at
the church of St. Bride, London, on the morrow of St. Jerome last,
a tenth of all ecclesiastical goods for one year beyond the triennial tenth
now current, and agreed to anticipate the terms of payment of the
second year of the triennial tenth, wherefore he ought to be quit of the
payment of wool in accordance with the form of the grant of the tenth
aforesaid, the king wishes to do what is just and reasonable in the
matter. |

To John de Moubray. Order upon sight of these presents to go with
his horses and arms and all his power to the parts of Sussex, and stay
there while danger is imminent, to defend his land and the realm with
the other lieges there, as although Edward duke of Cornwall and earl
of Chester, keeper of England, seeing the damage inflicted by foreigners
on the parts of cos. Sussex and Southampton, and elsewhere towards the
south, ordered John to go to the parts of Sussex with his power, to stay
at his manor of Brembre and his other manors and places there, to be
ready to set out with the other magnates and lieges of those parts to
repel the enemies, yet John has neglected to do this. By K. and C. |
Oct. 16. Kennington. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede
the demand made on the taxers and collectors of the triennial tenth and
fifteenth in the said county (sic) for their account touching the manor
of Bustlesham, and the men and tenants there, until the Purification
next, so that the king may cause the manor to be assessed and taxed
at the tenth and fifteenth, provided that the collectors shall answer for
the portion of the other men of that county, as on 22 April, in the 11th
year of the reign, the king granted the prior and canons of Bustlesham
that they should be quit of all aids, contributions and tallages, and afterwards the king ordered the said collectors to levy the tenth and fifteenth
of the prior and convent as well as of others who had such letters of
acquittance, and although subsequently, because of certain reasons shown
before the king and his council, the king ordered the collectors to supersede the levying of the tenth and fifteenth touching the prior of Bustlesham
for his temporalities until the said feast of the Purification, and ordered
the treasurer and barons not to charge them for their account with the
said temporalities until that feast, yet because the said manor is newly
granted to the prior, and it is not ascertained how much of the tenth
and fifteenth touches the manor by itself and how much touches the men
and tenants of the manor, nothing has been done thereupon, as the king
has learned from the prior, who has besought the king to provide a
remedy. |
