To Reginald de Conductu and Adam Lucas, collectors of customs in the

next with all the money of those customs received by them from
Midsummer last, to be paid there to John de Wesenham, Simon his
brother and Richard de Salteby, the king's merchants, and to render
account to them of the issues of the customs and subsidies, so that the
payments which the merchants are bound to make to the king for the same
may not be delayed through the default of those collectors, whereby the
king would have cause to punish them, as for certain sums of money the
king has granted to those merchants all the customs and subsidies due in
the ports of England, from the said feast for a certain time, contained in
the indenture made with them, and now those merchants have besought
the king to compel all the collectors of customs and subsidies to render
account to them, as they cannot pay the king what they are bound to pay
him unless full answer is made to them for the issues of the customs and
subsidies. By K. |

Enrolment of indenture made between the king and John de Wesenham,
Simon his brother and Richard de Salteby, testifying that whereas the king
has granted to those merchants all the customs and subsidies of wool, hides
and wool fells in England until Michaelmas next in accordance with an
indenture made with them, the merchants have agreed that on 20s. of the
subsidy on each sack of wool passing out of the realm between now and
the said Michaelmas, the king may grant the 20s. of the subsidy where he
pleases in aid of his great needs, so that he do their will elsewhere, wherefore the king has assigned to them the 1,000 marks which they have
undertaken to pay each month on the said customs and subsidies for the
expenses of the household, to be received entirely for their use from the
beginning of May next, and also all the fees wherewith the customs are
charged for the terms of Easter and Michaelmas next, except the fees of
the two queens of the earl of Norhampton and of Sir John de Stryvelyn
in part satisfaction of what shall be received between now and Michaelmas
of the 20s. of the subsidy so granted; and in part satisfaction of the same
the king has granted to the merchants all the ferms or profits of the benefices of aliens, as well of cardinals as of others, which the king will cause
to be taken into his hand in aid of his war and of the defence of the
realm, to be received by the merchants from the gule of August last until
Michaelmas next, and in case the sums received by the merchants of the
said 1,000 marks and for the fees and ferms before Michaelmas pass the
sum which shall be found to have been received of the 20s. of the subsidy
granted by them, then they shall be bound to answer to the king for the
remainder, but if they do not attain that sum the king shall assign what is
lacking of the issues of the customs and subsidies after the feast or elsewhere
where they shall be quickly served, and in all other points the first agreements made between the king and the said merchants shall remain in force.

To Roger Hillary and his fellows, justices of assize in co. Salop.
Whereas the king granted to Stephen de Bitterleye, late his serjeant-at-arms,
by letters patent, a messuage, a carucate of land, 3 acres of meadow and
15s. rent in Smyton, co. Salop, and those 100s. of land and rent in Lodelowe in that county which belonged to William de Okle, late the king's
enemy and rebel, and which escheated to the king by his forfeiture, to hold
for life, and afterwards the king granted that he and his heirs should hold
the said tenements and rents for ever, and because the 3 acres of meadow
and 10s. rent in Smyton were omitted in that grant, the king made a fresh
grant of the premises to Stephen, and now the king has learned from
Richard, Stephen's son and heir, tenant of the lands so granted to
his father, that Joan daughter of Ralph le Birches of Lodelowe has
arramed an assize of novel disseisin before those justices against Richard
and others contained in the writ, concerning tenements in Lodelowe,
and Richard, pleading before the justices, has alleged that he holds the
tenements placed in view of the king's grant to his father, and has produced
the king's letters before them, wherefore the justices have delayed to
proceed further in that assize and have given a day to Richard and Joan
to be before them at Shrewsbury on Thursday before St. Gregory next, so
that the king may be better informed upon the matter in the meantime;
and because the said William de Okle, Joan's husband, is still alive, as the
king has learned, and the tenements are in Richard's hand by William's
forfeiture and the king's grant; the king orders the justices not to proceed
to take that assize until further order concerning the death of William and
of the right of the king and Richard. |

Stramydey of Perouchez, Angelus Sotheren and Peter Simonis, merchants
of the society of the Peruzzi, to stay in the places in the Tower where they
have formerly stayed and to go and come freely under safe-conduct until
further order, as the king lately caused certain merchants of that society to
be detained in the Tower for debts in which they are bound to him, and
ordered Robert de Dalton, then constable of the Tower, to permit them to
have a decent chamber for their stay there and to go and come under safe
custody to make advances for paying the said debts and for doing other

To the mayor and sheriffs of London. Whereas the king, when about to
set out to parts beyond the sea and wishing to ordain for the safe-custody
of the city of London and for the preservation of his peace there, charged
the mayor, sheriffs, aldermen and community of that city to keep his peace
there during his absence and to speedily punish malefactors, and they
having undertaken this, it being afterwards heard that a dispute had arisen
between the fishmongers and skinners of the city, they went to appease that
strife, and they attached certain malefactors and disturbers of the peace
there, and certain of them were adjudged to death for notorious crime in
the Guildhall of London, by consideration of the king's court, and they
were beheaded in a street of the city called 'Chep,' and the king approved
and confirmed what had been done, and now the king has learned that
certain malefactors and disturbers of the peace assembling to ban the late
mayor and sheriffs and striving to sow discord among the men of the city
cause it to be publicly related in the ways and lanes of the city and declare
that the judgment rendered against the malefactors was false and erroneous
and threaten the late mayor and sheriffs in their life and members for that
cause: the king therefore orders the present mayor and sheriffs to take all
those whom they find by inquisition or otherwise to have declared that the
said judgment was erroneous or false or anything that might give rise to
dissension among the men of the city and to cause them to be imprisoned
in Neugate until further order, certifying the king in chancery from time to
time of the names of those so arrested. By K. |

a solitary place without the city and suburb to dwell there as is customary,
so that harm may not arise to the healthy by communion with them,
though it is the king's intention that those who wish to give alms to lepers
may do so at will, as the king is informed that several men both of the
city and of those coming thither, afflicted with leprosy, associate with the
other healthy citizens, and several striving to increase that disease among
the people, associate with women in the brothels and other private places
so that they may spread the infection. |

to be returned on a certain day before the justiciary, as the king is informed
that several men, both of England and Ireland, usurp divers liberties upon
the crown in that land, claiming cognisance of pleas of the crown and
other pleas and returns of all the king's writs, both summonses of the
exchequer, Dublin and others, and the execution thereof, and they make
their own writs there for real and personal pleas, appeals and other things
pertaining to the crown, and determine such pleas there and have their
chancellor and treasurer and other liberties, hindering the king's sheriffs,
escheators and other ministers from executing his orders. The king has
ordered the chancellor to cause the said writs to be made, sealed and sent
to the justiciary on the said day, to proceed to the final discussion of the
liberties so claimed and to do what is right with regard to them and the
other things which they shall find to have been usurped upon the crown. |

seem onerous, especially the short terms for the payment of the dower, as
the king is incurring heavy charges for his wars, yet in order that the
treaties between their houses may not be broken but that the bond may be
strengthened, the king consents to all, and the king has appointed Peter,
bishop of Bayonne, Peter de Sermeto, abbot of St. Croix, Bordeaux,
Master Gerald de Podio, sacristan of the church of Bordeaux, his justice of

cause proclamation to be made that no one shall presume to publish false
rumours or say things whereby discords may arise, either publicly or

this he shall be taken and imprisoned until it is found in the king's court
from whom such rumours proceeded, and now the king has learned that

To the provincial prior of the order of the friars preachers in England.
The king by these presents informs him of the cause of the war with
Philip de Valesio and requests him to expose that cause in public and
private speeches and to the clergy and people and to enjoin this upon
all the brethren of the order: it is known that the kingdom of France
devolved on the king as the nearest male heir by the death of Charles,
the late king, and on receiving the news the king held a council and
after deliberation he sent envoys to France to seek his inheritance, but
Philip, though not so near of kin, usurped the kingdom while the king was
a minor and threatened the said envoys with death, wherefore, after making
a protest, they returned empty; but Philip, not content with this, began
to war against the king, invading the duchy of Aquitaine and aiding the
king's Scottish rebels, and though the king offered him peace by a marriage
with the prince of Wales, or with John earl of Cornwall, the king's brother,
then alive, or with the king's sister, now countess of Guelders, or by a
sum of money or by going together to the Holy Land to succour it
from the enemies of the Cross, yet he would do nothing, but deceived
the king by treaties and continued to attack him by land and sea,
and when the king came of age he revoked what had been done to the
prejudice of his claim, and after securing allies resolved to prosecute his
right by crossing the sea, but he was hindered by certain cardinals sent as
mediators by the pope, and returning afterwards he besieged Tournai, and
a truce was arranged there in hope of peace, but no reasonable peace could
be found, but the other side continued to act to his prejudice during the
truce, wherefore the king was compelled to go with an armed force to
Britanny, where other cardinals came from the pope to arrange another
truce preparatory to a peace, trusting to which the king returned to England,
leaving a few lieges in Britanny, and appointed envoys to arrange a truce,
when news arrived of the death of certain nobles, adhering to the king, taken
by Philip's party in Britanny, shamefully executed as traitors at Paris, and
of the slaughter of the king's lieges of his castles and places in Britanny,
Gascony and elsewhere, and of endeavours to detach the king's allies and of
other attempts made by Philip against the truce, whereby he has dissolved
the truce, and although the king might have resumed the war immediately
upon this, yet he sent envoys to the pope to seek for peace and to obtain
redress for the said attempts, reserving the power of resuming the war, and
because Philip has not cared to give redress, though several times requested
to do so by the pope, as the king has learned, the king cannot find a reasonable way of peace and resumed the war, defying Philip as violator of the
truces and occupier of the realm of France and the king's other lands and
rights, protesting that the king will attempt nothing against the Apostolic
see and will always be ready to accept a reasonable peace, but Philip, seeking
to exterminate the king and his, assembles a fleet of ships and numbers of
armed men, proposing to send them to Gascony, Britanny, England and
Scotland, wherefore the king judges it better to make a speedy passage and
place himself in the hands of God. [Fœdera.] |
