To the collectors in co. Kent of the aid for making the king's eldest son
a knight. Order to supersede until the month of Michaelmas next the
demand made upon Richard Smelt of London for 20s. for half a fee for
that aid, so that the king may cause what is right to be done after
inspection of the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, as Richard has
besought the king to provide a remedy, as he has shown the king that
although he holds the manor of Grenech in that county of the king by the
service of finding two men with two oars with the ships of Hastynges
when the king wishes to have his service of ships, and not by knight's
service, as may appear by the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, yet
the collectors distrain him to pay 20s. pretending that the manor is held of
the king by the service of half a knight's fee, and the exchequer is at
present closed, so that the king cannot yet be informed upon the premises. |

To William de Thorp and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas
before the king. Hamo de Hessay and Dionisia his wife have shown the
king that whereas Hamo was seised of a messuage and a carucate of land
except 7 acres of land in Huntyngton near York, for thirteen years and
more, and enfeoffed therewith Hamo de Alwarthorp, vicar of the church
of Sutton in Galtres and Richard de Brikenhale of York, who rendered
them to Hamo and Dionisia and Hamo's heirs by a fine levied in the king's
court before the justices of the Bench, and they were seised thereof until
Wednesday after St. Laurence last, on which day William de Craystok,
knight, Ed[mund] de Hoton and others disseised them by force and arms,
wherefore Hamo and Dionisia arramed an assign of novel disseisin against
William, Edmund and others, who, scheming to defraud them and
suggesting that certain of the disseisors are in the king's service in parts
beyond the sea, have obtained a writ to continue that assize, upon which
pretext the justices have delayed to take the assize by reason of the
ordinance, whereupon Hamo and Dionisia have besought the king to
provide a remedy; the king therefore orders the justices, if they find by
inquisition or otherwise that the inquisition was made in the form aforesaid,
to proceed to take the assize notwithstanding any writ obtained to
continue it. By C. |
