To John de Hundon, escheator in cos. Lincoln and Rutland. Order to
fulfil his office in taking the manor of Birthorp, so that the execution of
his office be not delayed by frivolous delays, informing the king in chancery
without delay of what he does in the matter, as the king has learned that
several tenants of the inheritance of Henry son and heir of John de Bello
Monte, tenant in chief, a minor in the king's wardship, who held in
Burthorp in that bailiwick of the said inheritance for life with reversion to
the heir, has alienated divers of such lands in fee, to the disinheritance of
the heir, wherefore the king ordered the escheator to take an inquisition upon
the matter, by which it is found that Henry de Bello Monte, grandfather
of Henry son and heir of John de Bello Monte, grandfather of Henry son
and heir of John de Bello Monte, the said ward, was seised of the manor of
Byrthorp in his demesne as of fee; and he demised it to Thomas de Grey,
knight, to hold for life, and Thomas held the manor peacefully until Roger
de Birthorp intruded therein with the assent of Thomas, and that Roger
alienated the manor in fee to William de Baiocis, knight, and Robert Frost,
chaplain, a year ago, and that the manor is a member of the manor of
Folkyngham, which with its members, fees and advowsons is held in chief
by the service of a barony, and the escheator has not taken the manor into
the king's hands by reason of his office, wherefore he ought to be reprimanded as remiss and negligent. |

To the sheriff of Worcester. Order to resume into the king's hand the

his letters patent which brother Wulstan, then prior of the cathedral church
Worcester, and the chapter of that place afterwards confirmed, granted
that bailiwick to Thomas to hold for life, doing to the bishops what others
have done who have held it, and the king confirmed the said grant, and
the said bailiwick has been seised into the king's hand by reason of a
return made by Henry de Bradeford, under-bailiff of Thomas, before
William de Clynton, earl of Huntyndon, and his fellows, justices appointed
to hear and determine divers trespasses and excesses committed by the
king's ministers and others in that county, made untruly it is said, whereof
Henry is convicted before the justices at the king's suit, and afterwards
delivered to the said Wolstan, now the bishop, asserting that Thomas held
the said bailiwick at the bishop's will and the bishop possessed a right in the
same by a fine which he made for the said trespass, and now Thomas has
besought the king to order the bailiwick to be restored to him, as it was
taken into the king's hands for the trespass in the name of distraint only
and for no other cause, by making a fine for the said trespass. |

as they lent the king 100 marks in aid of the payment of certain great
sums, which the king needed for the expedition of the war in parts beyond
the seas, by the hand of Robert de Sadyngton, then the treasurer, and the
king, wishing them to be satisfied for the said 100 marks, on 23 May in the
14th year of the reign granted that they should be allowed to them in the
biennial subsidy granted by the community of the realm in the then last
parliament. By C. |
