To the collectors of customs in the port of the city of York. Order to
permit Thomas Gra, John Goldbetere, Thomas de Lyndeseye, John de
Rypoun, Thomas de Menythorp, John Shaklok and William de Skelton,
merchants of that city, to lade 400 sacks of wool in that port and take
them to the staple at Andewerp in ships not ordained for the king's
service, without paying custom and subsidy, in accordance with the king's
licence to them, as they paid 400l. to William de Northwell, keeper of the
wardrobe, for the king's use, as may appear by an indenture made between
the king and the merchants. By p.s. [12470.] |

To William Trussel, escheator this side Trent, or to his sub-escheator in
co. Essex. Order not to intermeddle further with the custody of the
bishopric of London, its manors or other possessions by reason of the
death of Richard, the late bishop, but to permit the dean and chapter of
St. Paul's London to have that custody, having first taken a simple seisin
in the name of the king's royal lordship in one of the manors, without
taking fealty from any tenant to the bishopric or taking anything
therefrom, restoring the issues thereof the dean and chapter, saving the
knights' fees and advowsons when they fall in and the custody of the
lands and rents acquired after 19 December in the 11th year of the late
king's reign, as on that day this late king granted to the dean and chapter
by a fine that they should have that custody during voidances of the
bishopric, with full administration of the temporalities and goods of the
bishopric, saving the said fees and advowsons and escheats which should
fall in, rendering 1,000l. for every entire year of a voidance and pro rata
for parts of a year, so that no minister of the crown should intermeddle
with that custody except to take a simple seisen as aforesaid. |
|
The like to the same escheator or to his sub-escheators in cos. Hertford,
Surrey and Middlesex. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to discharge
Hugh Tyrel of the issues of the lands, forests and chases pertaining to
the castles of Bulkedynas and Blenkeleveny from 2 October in the
7th year of the reign, notwithstanding that the commisssion of the
custody of the castles to Gilbert Talbot makes no direct mention of the
said lands, forests and chaces, as the king lately committed to Hugh the
custody of the said castles, forests and chaces, to hold during pleasure,
rendering yearly therefore as much as others who have held that custody,
and afterwards the king granted those castles to Gilbert with the knights'
fees and other appurtenances, to hold for life without rendering anything
to the king, and on the said 2 October the king ordered Hugh to deliver
those castles with all the things therein to Gilbert and subsequently
at Hugh's suit showing that although the said lands etc. pertain to the
castles and have done from time out of mind and he delivered them to
Gilbert with the castles, yet the treasurer and barons intend to charge him
with the said issues because express mention of these lands etc. is not
contained in the order to Hugh, wherefore he besought the king to provide
a remedy, and the king appointed Peter de Grandisono, Philip de
Clanevowe, Adam Lucas and John de Mershton to take an inquisition upon
the matter, by which it is found that the said lands, forests and chaces are
appurtenant to those castles and have been from time out of mind, and that
Hugh delivered them to Gilbert as appurtenant to the castles. By p. s. |

To the collectors of customs in the port of London. Order to permit
Hildebrand Sutherman, John Sutherman his brother, Henry Wale,
Thilemannus de Revle and John Sutherman the younger, merchants of
Almain, to lade 300 sacks of wool in that port and take them to Andewerp
without paying the custom and subsidy thereon, in accordance with the
king's previous order because they paid 2 marks a sack down for the
custom and subsidy in parts beyond the sea for the king's affairs, and now
the king has learned from the plaint of the merchants that although they
sued before the collectors to have the passage of that wool, they have not
hitherto obtained it, whereupon they have besought the king to provide a
remedy, and the king has considered the damages which they have
incurred by this delay, and that they lent him money in his pressing
need. By p.s. [12462.] |

merchants, to take 500 sacks. By the same writ. |

seisin without delay of a messuage, 38 acres of land, 6 acres of meadow and
2 acres of wood in Conendlay, which John son of Robert Crokebayn held,
who was hanged for felony, as the king has learned by inquisition taken by
the sheriff that the premises were in the king's hand for a year and a day
that John held them of the prior and that the sheriff had the year, day and
waste thereof and ought to answer for them to the king. |

To the treasurer and chamberlains. Order to pay to Gaillardus de Assaillit,

Marshalsea between the last day of August in the 11th year of the reign
and 11 July following, and for his expenses on divers journeys on the king's
affairs and for replacing a horse dead in that service and for his robes
during that time, as may appear he says by a bill in his possession under
the seal of Edmund de la Beche, late keeper of the wardrobe. By C. |

for which a tally is levied at the king's receipt under the prior's name,
receiving the tally from him, knowing that if he delay payment, the king
will punish him severely and cause the money to be levied of his goods and
chattels, as William lent great sums of money to the king for this war,
and the king granted him in part satisfaction thereof, certain assignments
of the issues of the said tenth and of the triennial tenth and fifteenth, and
caused tallies for those sums to be levied and delivered to him, for which
