To the sheriff of Southampton. Order to arrest all the goods of the
archbishop of Cologne, the bishop of Lyges, the count of Loos, Edmund de
Berkelyng and their subjects up to the sum of 831l. 3s. 4d. and keep them
safely until satisfaction is done to Master John Piers for that sum or until
further order, certifying the king of the goods which he so arrests and of all
his action in the matter, as the king ordered the sheriff to arrest such goods
in the said form [as at page 412 above], and John is now dead, and John
Bodevyle, John de Wyke, John Martyn, and William Cornwaill, his executors,
have surrendered that writ to chancery, enclosed in the wax, and have
besought the king to cause the order to be executed in their name according
to the will of the deceased. By p.s. |

Westminster. |
To the bailiffs of Boston. Order to cause all the goods of Juertus de Brug
of Lubyk and his fellow malefactors and of other men and merchants of the
town of Strallesund to be arrested up to the sum of 60l. without delay, and
kept safely until William de Letheneye is satisfied for that sum, or until
further order, informing the king of the goods so arrested and of their
action in the matter [as at page 296 above]. The king has ordered the mayor
and bailiffs of Kyngeston upon Hull to arrest such goods up to 40l.; and
the bailiffs of Ravenesere to arrest such goods up to 86l. 13s. 4d. It is not
the king's intention that the goods of any merchants of Almain who are of
the guild called 'Gildehalla Teutonicorum' in the city of London, to whom
it is granted by royal charter that their goods in the realm shall not be
arrested for any trespass of others, be arrested by pretext of this order. |

To the bailiffs of Boston. Order to dearrest five ships of Henry de
Burgh, Albert Faues, Roger Croulle, John Rode and Christiana de Hyde,
merchants of Almain and Prus, after taking their oath that they are of the
gild called 'Gilda Teuthonicorum' in the city of London, as the king ordered
the bailiffs to deliver to William de Letheneye five ships called 'la Godeyere'
of Lubyk, 'Goberade' of Lubyk, 'Ryngheburgh' of Rostok, 'la Welifare' of
Strallesund and 'Femmeland' of Lubyk by a mainprise [as at page 408
above], and now Henry, Albert, Roger, John and Christian have besought
the king to cause those ships to be dearrested, as they are their own ships
and do not belong to the lords named in the inquisition taken by the
bailiffs, as they pretend to verify, and the king appointed Walter de
Faucomberge, Saier de Rocheford and Laurence de Lek to take an
inquisition upon the matter in the presence of the bailiffs and of William
de Letheneye by the oath of mariners and other lawful men of co. Lincoln,
and the king ordered the bailiffs to supersede the livery of the ships to
William until further order; and by the inquisition taken by Walter and
Laurence it is found that the said five ships are the property of Henry,
Albert, Roger, John and Christiana and have been for three years past,
and they have never been the ships of those named in the inquisition; and
Roger Croulle has taken oath before the king in chancery that he will
use all diligence for the arrest of the goods of the guilty merchants in the
realm for the use of William de Letheneye, and the king has considered the
premises and that Henry, Albert, Roger, John and Christiana are of the
said guild, as John Hamond, mayor of London, and alderman of the said
guild has testified in chancery. |

To John de Aston, sheriff of Salop and escheator there. Order to deliver
to the prior of Abberbury the manors and lands pertaining to the priory,
together with the issues thereof and the goods and chattels therein, saving
to the king the knights' fees and advowsons pertaining to the said priory,
manors and lands, as although the king ordered the escheator to take the
said priory, etc. into the king's hand, so that he should answer at the
exchequer for the issues of the priory and for the goods and chattels found
there, yet the king has considered the poverty of the prior and brethren
and wishes to show favour to them for that cause. |

the king's order [as at page 377 above], and of the issues of the customs and

Marwell. |
To Thomas Cary, escheator in co. Somerset. Order not to intermeddle
further with the tenements which he took into the king's hand by reason of
the death of William de Monte Acuto, restoring the issues thereof, as the
king committed to William the custody of the manor of Camel with the
park and its other appurtenanes in co. Somerset, and of the town of Somerton with the hundred of Somerton, warren and pasture of Kyngesmore in
the same county of the manor of Kyngesbury with assize rent of Melbourneport, the hundred of Horthorn and its other appurtenances in that county
and 20l. yearly rent which the prior and convent of Bath render at the

To the sheriff of Southampton. Whereas the king ordered him to arrest
all the goods of the archbishop of Cologne, the bishop of Lyges, the count of
Loos, Edmund de Berkelyng of Cologne and their subjects found in that
bailiwick up to the sum of 831l. 3s. 4d., and to keep them safely until the
executors of Master John Piers should be satisfied for that sum [as at page
414 above], and now John Hasard, Walter Spilard, John de Wadesheye,
Hubert Salmerd, Thomas Daunheye, Lambert Malrechyne, Giles de Huy,
James Marde of Huy, Alard Salmer and John Lucye, merchants of
Dynaunt, have come to the king pretending that divers of their goods and
merchandise to no small value have been taken by the sheriff at the
suit of the said executors, by reason of the king's last order, at the fairs
of St. Giles near Winchester, and appraised by certain men, and there is
no reasonable cause in the suggestion of John Piers, in the process held
thereupon or shown in chancery when the executors appeared, why their
goods ought to be arrested and they have besought the king to cause their
goods to be dearrested and delivered to them, having consideration to the
damages suffered by them if their merchandise remains unsold by that
arrest; and because Walter de Mauny, William Trussel of Flore and
Terricus de Mauny, knights, have mainperned in chancery for the said
merchants to answer to the executors for the said goods or the price thereof
if they are adjudged to the executors: the king orders the sheriff to cause
those goods to be dearrested without delay and delivered to the merchants
and to Walter de Mauny or his attorney by that mainprise, and to inform
the king in chancery of all his action in this matter before Saturday after
the Exaltation of the Holy Cross next, or on that day at latest, which day
the king has given to the said merchants and executors to propose their
reasons upon the discussion of the premises and further to do and receive
what the king's court shall determine or adjudge. By C. |

To John de Musters, escheator in co. Nottingham. Order not to intermeddle further with two messuages and 80 acres of land in Hayton and
Clareburgh, restoring the issues thereof, as the king has learned by inquisition taken by Nicholas de Langeford, late escheator in that county, that
John de Carewell of Hayton at his death held no lands in chief in that
county or elsewhere, but that he held in his demesne as of fee the said
messuages and land of the archbishop of York, by the service of making
two appearances at the archbishop's court of Lanum. |

bailiwick and delivered to William Lengleys, son and heir of the said
William, and to his fellow executors of his father's will, by indenture, by a
mainprise, for doing the execution of the will therewith, certifying the king
thereof before the morrow of All Saints next, retaining in the king's hand
until further order the land which belonged to William, as the king lately
ordered the escheator to take into the king's hand all the lands, goods and
chattels which belonged to William the father, who was bound to the king
in divers accounts for the issues and profits of the king's manor of Brustwyk for the time when he was keeper of the same, and for divers other
things which he had in custody, to be kept safely, so that the escheator
should answer for the said goods, chattels and issues until the said account
had been rendered and the king satisfied for what was due thereby, but
Giles de Bello Campo of co. Wilts, Thomas de Sandeford and John de
Goldyngton of co. Westmorland have mainperned before the king in
chancery for William the son, who beseeches the king to order the said
goods and chattels to be delivered to him, that the said son will render
accounts to the king for the issues and profits of the manor and escheatry
there for the time that his father was keeper and escheator and also of the
other lands which the father had in his custody by the king's commission
whereof he was bound to account, and will satisfy the king for any arrears. |
