[as in this Calendar 19 Edward III, page 619], and although the escheator
amoved the king's hand from the lands, he could not restore the issues from

issues in his account rendered at the exchequer, as he has shown the king,
and now John has besought the king by his petition before him and his
council to order the 20l. 4s. 6d. at which the issues are extended by the rolls
of the escheator's account rendered at the exchequer, to be paid to him. |

has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that John de Haudlo at
his death held no lands in his demesne as of fee of the king or any other
in co. Oxford, but that he held the said manor for life of the demise of
Hugh le Despenser, earl of Winchester, who was seised thereof in his
demesne as of fee and reserved the reversion thereof to himself, and that
reversion pertained to the king by reason of Hugh's forfeiture, and the king

death of John de Haudlo, who attorned himself to the said John, to whom
the manor ought now to remain by virtue of the said grant and attornment,
and that the manor is held of the king by knight's service, and because it
is found by inspection of the king's charter, in John's possession, that the

de Molyns for the manor and has given him respite for his homage until the
king's return to England. By the keeper. |
