reason of Hugh's outlawry, and to discharge Hugh, Robert and the sheriff

John de Esseton, late bailiffs of that city, and Thomas de Neusom,

execution of the king's writ of the exchequer, and to amove the king's hand
from the priory of Burwell, co. Lincoln, and from the goods and
chattels pertaining thereto, and to permit the prior to dispose freely
thereof, as, because the king learned from trustworthy testimony that the
prior is of the duchy of Aquitaine and not of the lordship of France, he
ordered James de Kyngeston, appointed in the 11th year of the reign,
to take into the king's hands the possessions of religious and other men of
the power of France in co. Lincoln to deliver to the said prior his lands and
chattels and not to intermeddle therewith, and now the king has learned

exchequer that he granted 25 sacks 40 cloves of wool to the king of his
gift, at the time of the grant of the 20,000 sacks and that answer was
made to the king therefor, as the bishop has shown the king that although
in the 12th year of the reign he granted wool as aforesaid and delivered it
to John de Causton and Thomas de Swanlond, collectors of customs in the
port of London, who charged themselves therewith in their account at the

debts due to him for the custody of the castle of Berwick upon Tweed, and
the king caused a tally for the 100 marks to be levied at the receipt of the

and because Walran refused to pay the 100 marks the king ordered the
bishop to cause them to be levied of Walran's lands, goods and chattels in
the bishop's liberty, and to be delivered to Henry, and if the 100 marks
could not be so levied, then the bishop should certify the sheriff of what

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer and to the chamberlains.
Robert de Tughale has besought the king to provide a remedy, as he finally
rendered his account for the time when he was chamberlain of Berwick
upon Tweed and keeper of the king's victuals there, and he delivered at the
exchequer the names of the creditors to whom the king was then bound in
divers sums of money, for which Robert had to account, and he is charged
in that account with certain of those sums due by his bills, by reason of the
king's orders to the treasurer and barons, and he fears that he may be
charged at the exchequer for payments due to the said creditors
by such bills: the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons
to view the said account and the writs directing Robert to make the said
payments, and to cause payments made to any persons by reason of the
offices aforesaid by them upon Robert's bills by the king's writ to them or
by Robert, to be deducted from the sums contained in the writs and cause
the writs to be so indorsed that no payment may afterwards be made by

made for debts still due by that account, before the account is seen, and the
sum shall be deducted from the surplus due to the creditor and a bill shall
not be made and delivered from the receipt of the exchequer, and express
mention of such payment shall be made in the rolls of the exchequer, and

surplus or that any payment shall be made in future upon the said account
without observing this order. By C. |

of money to be received of the wool of co. Salop sold to Thomas, and the
duke has informed the king that Hugh has arrested 51 sarplars of that

the king ordered a former sheriff to restore to the prior the said priory
and its possessions together with the issues thereof [as in this Calendar
11 Edward III, page 185] and now the prior has informed the king that the
present sheriff has taken into the king's hand the said priory and all its

not come to that passage, with the persons of the masters and mariners
of the same and the wine and other goods and chattels found therein in the

granted their wool, and it is not the intention of the king and council that

taken by Thomas de Rokeby, escheator in county York, that the abbot
acquired that moiety long before the statute of mortmain, of the abbot of
Clairvaux, rendering to that abbot 20l. yearly, and he so holds that church
at ferm, and that the abbot of Clairvaux previously held the moiety for his

as is contained in an indenture made between them and William, and they

of those ships, and keep them in prison until further order, informing the
king of the names of the ships, the owners, masters and mariners thereof,

much delayed, appointed certain lieges to arrest all such ships
together with the goods and merchandise found therein and to keep the
ships and goods as forfeit until further order, and to arrest the persons of
the masters and owners and imprison them until further order, and the
king sent a writ of aid to the sheriff in this matter, and now the king has

king lately appointed James de Kyngeston, his clerk, to arrest all the possessions of religious and others of the power of the king of France in co.

restored to the prior by virtue of the aforesaid order, and the sheriff had
allowance therefor in his account, and the prior demised his said lands to
John after that restitution, at ferm, for rendering a certain thing for maintenance of the prior for a term of seven years, whereof two years are still to
come, and John paid the ferm from the beginning of the term until Easter
in the 15th year of the reign, at which time the prior entered the said lands
by armed power and amoved John from the possession thereof, yet the
treasurer and barons, pretending that the said lands were not taken into the
king's hand with the other lands of aliens, have caused them to be so taken,
by writ of the exchequer, and have ordered enquiry to be made of those who
received the issues of those lands from the 23 July in the 11th year of the
reign, on which day the other lands of alien religious were taken into the
king's hand and ordered the issues of the priory to be levied of John, because
it was found by inquisition taken by order of the exchequer that John
occupied those lands for all the said time, whereupon John has besought the
king to provide a remedy. |

To Reymund Seguyn, the king's butler. Order to deliver to Isabella de
Lancastr[ia], nun of Ambresbury, the king's kinswoman, what is in arrear
to her of 3 tuns of wine yearly, and to pay those 3 tuns to her yearly henceforth so long as he is butler, as on 5 April in the 14th year of the reign
the king granted to her 3 tuns to be received yearly of the prise of the
king's wines in the port of Southampton by the hands of the butler, for her
life, and now she has besought the king that as for certain causes she
cannot have those 3 tuns in the said port, he will grant that she may
receive them in that port and in the port of Bristol, and the king has
granted her request, because she has surrendered the letters patent to
chancery to be cancelled. By p.s. |

To Nicholas de Langeford, escheator in cos. Nottingham and Derby.
Order to amove the king's hand without delay from the advowsons of the
churches of Gamleston, Egmanton and Kirketon and not to intermeddle
further therewith, as on it being lately found by inquisition taken by the
escheator that after the donation of John king of England to Walter, some
time archbishop of Rouen and the canons there of the chapelry of Blythe
(de Blia) in frankalmoign, which chapelry is now called the free chapel of
Tykhill, there were alienated by the archbishop and canons, at the time
when that chapelry was in their hands, the church of Gameleston, called
the chapel of Gameleston in the charter of donation, which Roger de
Wylughby holds as parson by the presentation of Richard de Wylughby,
who acquired the advowson of the prior and convent of Madreseye without
licence, the church of Egmanton, called the chapel of Egmanton in the
charter, which the prior and convent of Newstead (de Novo loco) in Shirewode hold as appropriated to them, and the church of Kirketon, called the
chapel of Kirketon in the charter, which William Douseby holds as parson
at the presentation of Nicholas de Cantilupo, without licence, the king
ordered the escheator to take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is
found that the said churches have not been in the seisin of Walter, the
canons or their successors within the memory of man, and they were never
alienated by the said archbishop and canons, but that the advowson of
Gameleston church is of the fee of Lancaster and in the hands of the prior
of Madreseye and his predecessors, the advowson of Kirketon has been in
the hands of Nicholas de Cantilupo and his ancestors from time out
of mind, and the advowson of Egmanton church is of the fee of
Moubray and was in the hands of John Deyvill and his ancestors from time
out of mind, until John, in the time of King Henry, gave the advowson to
the said prior and convent of Newstead, who hold the church for their own
uses by royal licence, and that Roger de Wylughby holds the church of
Gameleston by the presentation of the prior of Madreseye, and Nicholas
presented William de Douseby to the said church of Kirketon. |
Nov. 6.
Kennington. |
To Warin de Bassyngburn, escheator in cos. Cambridge and Huntingdon.
Order not to intermeddle further with the lands in Fenstanton and Hilton,
co. Huntingdon, which belonged to Edmund de Duresme, restoring the
issues thereof, as the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator
that Edmund at his death held no lands of the king or another in that
bailiwick but that before his death he alienated the said lands, which he
held of others than the king, to Alice de Hernestede, who is now living,
to hold for her life, with remainder to his heirs. |

To the sheriff of Northampton. Order to pay to Richard de Durham
one of the king's sumpters, what is in arrear to him from 4 June
in the 15th year of the reign of 2d. daily, and to pay him the said 2d.
daily henceforth, in accordance with the king's grant to him on the said
4 June for his good service to the late king and himself of 2d. daily, to
be received by the hands of the sheriff of Northampton, for life. |
Nov. 26.
Kennington. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the
exactions made upon the prioress and nuns of the order of St. Benedict,
Chesthunt, for paying the ninth or wool, as they have several times
besought the king to order such exactions to be superseded, as the
lands and possessions of the priory are so slender that they do not
suffice for their maintenance except by the aid of the alms of the
faithful and on account of their poverty they have not been taxed for
any tenth, fifteenth or other quota in times past, and the king, having
compassion upon their estate, ordered the vendors and assessors of the ninth
and the assessors and collectors of wool in co. Hertford to supersede the
exactions made upon them; and now from the repeated complaint of the
prioress and nuns the king has learned that although the aforesaid
vendors, assessors and collectors superseded the levying of the ninth and
wool by reason of the aforesaid orders, yet the treasurer and barons have
ordered the ninth and wool to be levied of the prioress and nuns, whereupon they have besought the king to provide a remedy. |
Nov. 15.

king's yeoman, or to his attorney, 100s. for Michaelmas term last, in
accordance with the king's grant to him of 10l. to be received yearly at the
exchequer for life, and he afterwards besought the king to cause the 10l. to
be assigned to him of the issues of co. Hereford, and the king has granted
his request. |
