January 1399

Jan. 24.
Westminster.		 To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Writ of supersedeas omnino in respect of any process against Henry de Popham and William Ryngebourne, appointed with others to make inquisition concerning all treasons and felonies by whomsoever committed within the town and suburbs of Suthampton, when and how, and all other the circumstances, but order to proceed against others who did meddle therein; as that commission was not delivered to them, neither had they knowledge of it, as the king is truly informed.
Jan. 27.
Westminster.		 To R. archbishop of York. Order and request upon his allegiance, as he loves the king and his honour and desires the safety of the catholic church and of the realm, to summon a convocation of the clergy of the province of York, as many times commanded, in the cathedral church of St. Peter York or elsewhere on Monday in the third week of Lent next, and to move them to grant the king a subsidy, certifying in chancery under his seal the amount thereof and the terms of payment; as Roger archbishop of Canterbury and the clergy of that province in their last convocation in the cathedral church of St. Paul London on 2 March last granted to the king a tenth and the moiety of a tenth of benefices taxed and accustomed to pay towards the tenth, benefices of poor nuns and men of religion, colleges and hospitals excepted, one moiety payable on the feast of St. Martin the Bishop then next, a second moiety on the Nativity of St. John Baptist following, and the third moiety on the feast of St. Martin following, and without the aid of his lieges the king is not able, as the archbishop knows, to bear the charges which must needs be incurred for defence of the realm and the marches thereof and of holy church.
