William archbishop of Canterbury or his attorney divers goods and
chattels of Thomas bishop of Cicestre and Robert Bealknap knight
late chief justice of the Common Bench, appraised at 723l. 4s. 1½d.;
as the archbishop has bought of the treasurer the said goods, which

To William Hampton escheator in Herefordshire. Order to remove
the king's hand and meddle no further with the manor of Castelfrome,
delivering up any issues thereof taken; as lately the king ordered
William Barwelle late escheator to certify in chancery the manner
and cause wherefore the same was taken into the king's hand, and he
certified that it was so taken for that Thomas de Aston knight and
Elizabeth Cloddeshale lady of Castelfrome whom he took to wife,
being tenants thereof in her right, were before the guardians of the
peace and justices of oyer and terminer in Herefordshire indicted for
favouring and consenting to the manslaughter of Thomas Yeddefen
by John son of Isabel de la Hay (otherwise called John son of William
Deveros knight) and others, and were put in exigents divers times;
and because the said Thomas and Elizabeth were not and are not
outlawed, as appears by the record and process which the king has
caused to come before him in chancery, it seems to the justices and
others of the council learned in the law that the cause of seizing the
same is insufficient. |

to the duke's promise, bring him back to the gaol of Newcastle

in Ireland, and to compel him to find security that he shall there await
the coming of the king's lieutenant in order to answer touching complaints whatsoever laid against him on behalf of the king and of his
lieges of Ireland; as it has come to the knowledge of the council
that while in office he wickedly committed many extortions, damages,
grievances and excesses against the king and the people there, and
the king's will is that they go not unpunished. By K. and C. |

of the wares therein, and sell them to any lieges who will buy, paying
the customs etc. thereupon due, and without payment of custom
or subsidy to pass to Midelburgh or other parts of the king's friendship
with the residue therein remaining and not exposed for sale; as their
complaint shews that they caused the said tarit to be laded with certain
wares at Alexandria in Egypt to be taken to Midelburgh, and that
on the voyage it was arrested at sea by certain lieges of the king and,
against the master or owner's will, brought to the port of Suthampton

own parts or other places of the king's friendship; as the petitioner
has shewn that by command of the earl the ship was lately taken at sea
by certain lieges, upon pretence that the master was a Fleming,
the seamen enemies of the king, and that the salt pertained to
John Englysshe of Paris the king's enemy, shewing that by command of the said earl the master was brought to Tyverton and
there imprisoned until further order of the king; and by letters
of the cities of Wysmere and Campe under seal of the said cities
the king is informed that the master is his friend and well wisher,
and that the ship pertains without question to the king's friends,
wherefore with assent and advice of the council the king has decreed
that they be set free. Proviso that answer be made by the earl and
others chargeable for the salt and other goods in the ship on the day

To John Godard escheator in Yorkshire. Order to remove the
king's hand and meddle no further with the manor of Thorp St. Andrew,

for the time being, so that they should demise the same to any
archbishop for the time being at the same rent, if he would have it,
and if not should hold it to their own use until an archbishop would
have it; and it is found by inquisition, before the escheator taken of
his office, that by reason of a judgment rendered in the last parliament against Alexander late archbishop, the same was taken into

merchant of Jernemuth to pay him or his attorney 12 marks 5s. 8d.,
that for lack of justice no second complaint come to the king's ears,
whereby he must needs be again vexed concerning other remedy;
as the petitioner has shewn the king that no small time ago the said
Adam bought of him three lasts of herring for a certain sum, promising
upon oath to pay it on Sunday in the first week of Lent last, but

and if there be any cause wherefore that ought not to be done, order
to certify the same in chancery in the octaves of St. John Baptist
next, or to be there that day in person bringing this writ; as among

Beker 'arblaster' was at his death seised of the premises in fee tail,

of the king's escheatry of London, and for livery, the king ordered the
sheriffs of London to give John Charneye notice to be in chancery
at a day now past, in order to shew cause wherefore that ought not
to be done, and the sheriffs returned that they gave him notice by
John Chirche and John Dyve; at which day John Charneye and the
said Richard appeared, and John Charneye alleged that he held the
premises by grant of the king, and without the king ought not to
answer, craving the king's aid, whereupon a day was given the parties
in chancery, and the said Richard was told to sue with the king for
licence to proceed if he should think fit; at which day he brought
into chancery a writ of privy seal giving such licence, and John Charneye
came not, wherefore it was determined that the said letters patent
should be revoked, and livery given to the said Richard. |

for the time being. Order to pay to John Devereux one of the king's
bannerets 100 marks a year, and the arrears since 12 March last, on

To John Olyver escheator in Sussex. Order to remove the king's
hand and meddle no further with a yearly rent of 10 marks to be
taken of the manors of Chiltyngge and Walderne and of a tenement
[in Beding]ham, delivering to Hugh Waterton any issues thereof
taken; as the king has learned by inquisition, taken by Robert Loxle
late escheator, that Richard Ponynges knight at his death held the
manor of Chiltyngge in chief by knight service, the manor of Walderne
and the said tenement of others than the king, and long before his
death granted that rent to the said Hugh for life without obtaining
the king's licence; and for a fine paid in the hanaper the king has
pardoned that trespass. |
