And seeing that the said John de Vienne has never had compensation elsewhere in place of this corrody, may it please our said lord the king and his council to grant to the said John the said corrody as it was first granted to him, notwithstanding the other command of the king, or be willing to grant to the said John in compensation for this corrody the levy on wool in the port of Southampton, receiving as much as others have previously done for the said levy, from which levy neither the king nor his ancestors have ever received profit or still do.

And thereupon John of Say of London, who is a layman, caused the said office of controller to be granted to him for his lifetime by favour, as is clear by the copy of his commission attached to this petition, and in such a way the said John de Vienne has been removed and ejected from the said office to which he has right as to his freehold throughout all the said time and he still is, whereupon he prays remedy.

He prays a writ to the treasurer and barons that, if they find that the said allowance of the said issues was made at no time before the said Albred and Richard, this same allowance shall be given to the said John de Vienne for the time when he was in that office, so that the said John de Vienne might be quit of the rest of the said sum of £40 which is not yet paid, without challenge of the king or of his officials.

To our lord the king and to his council Adam of Lymbergh explains: whereas Sir Edmund, late earl of Kent, uncle of our said lord the king, when lieutenant of the king the father of our present said lord the king in the regions of the duchy of Guyenne, sent the said Adam, together with Sir Robert of Etchingham, knight, and others as messengers from the said regions to our said lord the king the father in England to inform him of the state of the land and of the dangers which one supposed might happen in the same duchy on account of the arrival of the army of the king of France, who was then advancing on the said regions in order to capture and seize the duchy into his hand because of default of the homage that he demanded from the said king the father, and to encourage our same lord the king the father to send for this reason aid in men-at-arms, foot soldiers, armour, and food supplies. And the said Adam was travelling from the said regions towards England from 18 October in the eighteenth year of the reign of our said lord the father [1324], on which day he left Bordeaux on account of the aforesaid matters, until 28 November then next following, also remaining in England until the last day of April [1325] both for the reply of our same lord the king and to learn of his command to make provision of arms and of victuals in order to give aid to the said regions, and then returning to the said regions of Gascony until 10 May next following [1325], on which day he returned to Bordeaux in the company of the earl of Warenne. And the said Adam has only been paid £22 sterling by the hand of Sir John Travers, then constable of Bordeaux, that is half mark a day for 66 days, whereas he spent twice that amount and much more. Whereupon the said Adam prays that it might please our said lord the king to command Sir John Travers, who was then constable of Bordeaux, as is said above, to account with him thereupon, allowing him 10 s. sterling for his wages or expenses for each day of the aforesaid period, or whatever he will consider reasonable, and that he should also pay this for the crossing of him, of his men and horses from overseas, that is from Sluys in Flanders to England, according to his good faith, and thereupon he will give him a bill under his seal of what is due by the same account, [p. ix-197] by which the said Adam shall have allowance in his account from the issues of the aforesaid duchy at the exchequer.

To our lord the king and to his council his clerk Adam of Lymbergh, former constable of Bordeaux, explains: that when he was constable in the said regions, both on account of the illness of Sir Fulk Lestrange, their seneschal in Gascony, who languished there for a long time, and in the time of other seneschals who were most burdened with their offices and were unable to administer or to carry out sufficiently what appertained to their office without the assistance of others, because the burdens of outstanding and important business multiplied more at that time than was usual before, for the profit of our lord the king and at their command he made many journeys to various regions of the duchy and incurred great costs and expenses there, as many of the great men of England who came there on behalf of the king knew, some for restoration of the peace and others for other reasons. The said Adam thus prays to our lord the king that it might please him to command the treasurer and barons of the exchequer that, having inspected the letters of the seneschals of Gascony confirming the aforesaid journeys from the time when the said Adam and the other great men were sent by our said lord the king the father to restore the peace, they should make him reasonable allowance for his daily expenses according to their discretion, and also that they should make him similar allowance for other times when he was concerned with the king's business which did not touch his office for which he has no letter of confirmation, according to his good faith.

To our lord the king and to his council his clerk Adam of Lymbergh, former constable of Bordeaux in the time of the king his father, whom God absolve, explains: whereas every constable of Bordeaux ought to be accountable to the seneschals and to the regents of Gascony and to their lieutenants at the time as regards [p. ix-198] payments made of money arising from the issues of his bailiwick for the king's business, and also the treasurers, lieutenants and other receivers under the said constables in the lands of Périgord, Quercy and Limousin, Agenais and Saintonge ought to be accountable to the seneschals of these regions, as regards similar payments made, and the same constables, in order to have allowances in their accounts for such payments at the exchequer, have had a writ of the tenor of the scroll attached to this bill, that it might please our said lord the king to command that he might have a suitable writ.

To our lord the king and to his council his clerk Adam of Lymbergh, former constable of Bordeaux in the time of the king his father, whom God absolve, explains: whereas when the said Adam left the same office, that is on 14 July in the eighteenth year of the reign of our said lord the king the father and the year of Our [p. ix-199] Lord 1324, Master Gerard de St Seurin, who was treasurer or lieutenant of the said Adam in the king's lands of Périgord, Quercy and Limousin, and Master William Reymond de Albinoun, who was also treasurer or lieutenant of the said Adam for some time in the land of Agenais, and some other receivers who were under the said Adam, ought to have accounted, that is the said Master Gerard for the issues of the said treasury for a complete year, and the said Master William for a large sum of money which was delivered to him in order to pay the wages of the men-at-arms and foot-soldiers who were then garrisoned in the king's castles in Agenais against the army of France, which was then moving towards the said regions in order to take the duchy into the hand of the king of France, which was then because of the default of the homage which our said lord the king the father ought to have done to him and had not done. And although the said lands of Périgord, Quercy and Limousin and of the Agenais were then taken into the hand of the said king of France because of the aforesaid, and are still in his hand, and the said Masters Gerard and William and the other receivers were found remaining in the same lands, with the result that the said Adam or other officials of our said lord the king could not and are still unable to distrain these people to render their said accounts nor to vouch rolls, records or warrants to him because the said king of France has caused them to be seized into his hand and he still detains them, and he has caused the said Masters Gerard and William, and the other aforesaid receivers, to appear before his seneschals and his other officials to account for the aforesaid things, and he has caused to levy on them as much as is due by the fine of the same accounts, as the answer made thereupon by the controller of the said Adam for the said time made to the exchequer by the mandate of our said lord the king supposes. Nevertheless, the treasurer and barons of the exchequer, having no regard for the aforesaid things, have distrained the said Adam to render account for both the issues of the said lands thus taken into the hand of the said king of France and of other lands of the same duchy which were saved for the said king the father and are still in the hand of our present lord the king, and fully to charge him for these issues to the great harm of the said Adam, for which he prays remedy.

To our lord the king and to his council his clerk John Hamelin, his parson of Penbeir church which is of his patronage and in his lordship of Emlyn in Wales, explains: whereas the said John and his predecessors parsons of the same church have held the said church wholly for a long time without a vicar, and now Master Henry Gower, bishop of St David's has recently appointed a vicar to the same church and has assigned as the said vicar's portion half of the fruits, obventions and lands which pertain to the said church, to the disinheritance of our said lord and of his crown; and lord, because your clerk has prosecuted your right before Sir Henry le Scrope and his associates as much as he can, the said bishop has sought reasons to harass him, and has extortionately levied more than 9 marks from him, and he has continuously caused him other hardships. Concerning which duresses your said clerk himself has previously complained at Kenilworth, where a writ was sent by your council to the said bishop to cease the said harassments and wicked duresses which he has caused to be made. The said bishop, having no regard to the king's command, has daily exacerbated the duresses, and now by his officials he has recently imposed sequestration on the goods of your said clerk until he is paid 100 s., in order to impoverish and destroy your clerk, so that your said clerk has nothing whereby he might meet the costs to prosecute your right. Whereupon the said clerk prays remedy, and that, if it pleases you, you might be willing to command the said bishop to cease causing such duresses so that your said clerk shall not be prevented from defending your right. And also, lord, may it please you to command your justice in Wales to keep your said clerk entirely in his possession, as he has been in the time of your father.

To our lord the king his poor lieges, the people and commoners of the common pasture of King's Norton wood, in the county of Worcester, explain: whereas Sir Roger de Mortimer recently held the manor of Norton of our said lord the king who, on the advice of Richard of Haukeslowe , his steward and sheriff of Worcester, has enclosed with an embankment a piece of land and a valley which contains two carucates of land within the said common pasture, and the said commoners, perceiving their disinheritance of their common pasture thus enclosed, knocked down the embankment in several places, as they thought fit, so that their beasts might enter and graze there as they have always done in the past. The said lord of Mortimer came there at the instigation of the said Richard, and purchased a writ of trespass against them that they should plead, and by an inquest at Bromsgove in a distant part of the lordship of the said Mortimer, where they were made to go by the said sheriff, who was his steward, by a nisi prius, where some of the commoners and their attorney, who were going there by road, were beaten, wounded and badly treated and threatened so that they dare not go there to claim their jurisdiction as was their right, by which inquest they were condemned to pay £300 damages to the plaintiff. Whereupon the said people pray, for God, as the inquest was held in their absence, for fear that they dare not go there, and by men of their region who were made to go from distant parts by the said sheriff, his steward, and that the damages were assessed completely at their command, as they had such great power, that it might please our lord the king of his grace to allow justices to inquire if this is their common land or not and, if it is found that this is their common land, that they might use it in common as they and their ancestors have done, and that, for God, they should have pardon from the damages which have been so wrongfully awarded against them.
