The Tower.
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to inspect the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, and if they find that John de Hampton held the manor of Worthy Mortymer, co. Southampton, of the king's demise and the manor of Bremmesgrave, co. Worcester, and the bailiwick thereof do not exceed the value of 100l., then to permit the executors of the will of William de Monte Acuto to hold the said manor of Bremmesgrave and bailiwick until Roger son and heir of Edmund de Mortuo Mari shall come of age, for the maintenance of that heir, superseding the demand made upon them for the issues of the said manors and bailiwick, as on 3 June in the 10th year of the reign, by a fine of 1,000 marks which William made with the king, the king granted to him the marriage of Roger son and heir of Edmund de Mortuo Mari, tenant-in-chief, a minor in the king's wardship, and also by the said fine and in consideration of William's expenses for the maintenance of that heir, he granted to him the custody of the said manor and bailiwick, which Margaret late the wife of Edmund de Mortuo Mari, grandfather of the said heir, held for life of that inheritance and which were in the king's hands by reason of the heir's minority, to hold until the heir should come of age, so that if the manors exceeded the value of 100l. yearly by extent thereof, then William should answer yearly at the exchequer for the surplus, and 100l. of the extent should be allowed to William yearly, and now the said executors have shown the king that although the manor of Worthy has been in John's custody for all the said time and before, and did not come into their hands, yet the treasurer and barons distrain them to answer for the issues of the manors and bailiwick, wherefore they have besought the king to provide a remedy.
