To John de Vaux, escheator in co. Nottingham. Order to amove the king's
hand from a messuage, 2 bovates, 5 acres of land of William de Upton,
parson of Birton Jorce church in Birton Jorce, restoring the issues thereof
to him, as the king ordered the escheator to certify why he had taken the
said tenements into the king's hand, and the escheator returned that he had
done so because he was informed that John Glide, late parson of the said
church, acquired them for himself and his successors, of Richard de
Hegham of Birton Jorce, after the publication of the statute of mortmain,
without the king's licence, and subsequently, at William's suit, showing
that the said messuage and land were of the endowment of that church
from the time of its foundation, and that John Glide, because Cecily late
the wife of John son of Robert Sareson of Birton Jorce unjustly occupied
those tenements, brought a writ of utrum against her for the same before the
justices of the Bench, and while the plea was pending Cecily had enfeoffed
Richard de Hegham and Idonia his wife, her daughter, with those tenements,
who rendered them to John Glide on learning that he had recovered them
against Cecily, and William beseeching the king to cause his hand to be
amoved from those tenements, the king ordered the escheator to take an
inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found that the said tenements
are of the right of the said church from the time of its foundation, and
that William's predecessors held them until Master Robert de Blundesden,
formerly parson of the said church, demised them at ferm to Robert Sareson
of Birton Jorce, at Robert's will, after whose death John son and heir of
Robert Sareson and Cecily then his wife, and Cecily after his death, unjustly
occupied the tenements, and that John Glide, the last predecessor of
William, brought a writ of utrum against Cecily for those tenements and
while the plea was pending, she enfeoffed Richard and Idonia with the
tenements, and they rendered them to John Glide in the form aforesaid. |

received yearly of the said issues, and that she was not dowered thereof and
beseeching the king to cause dower to be assigned to her thereof, and
because the inquisitions post mortem of the earl contain no mention that he
died seised of the said rent in his demesne as of fee, the king ordered Robert
Russel, escheator in that county, to take an inquisition upon the matter, by
which it was found that the said earl died seised of that rent in his demesne

Ridard is master, the men and mariners and the goods found therein,
without exacting the custom or payment, and to permit the said mariners

the merchants of Amiens have besought the king to cause the said ship and
goods to be released in accordance with the form of the truce made at
Calais that merchants and others of either realm should traffic freely in
either realm under a certain form, during the said truce, as the said

Ireland and 100 other dry ox hides, 220 calf skins and 200 boards of
Almaigne duly customed there, to be taken thence to the town of Amiens,

and bailiffs, because the men in the ship hoisted their sail and departed
from the port with the merchandise, pursued and arrested them
