Nov. 3.
Westminster.
To the sheriff of York. Order to amove the king's hand from 2 messuages and 4½ bovates of land of Richard de Depeden in Estbrune, co. York, and not to intermeddle further therewith, restoring the issues thereof to Richard if it is found that they were granted to him by Henry son of Aucher, by the king's licence, as the king ordered William de Thorp and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas before the king, to certify him why the premises were taken into the king's hand, and he returned that they were so taken because Richard acquired those tenements, worth 40s. yearly, of Henry without obtaining the royal licence, Henry holding them of the king as of the crown, and now Richard has besought the king to order his hand to be amoved, as long before those tenements were taken into the king's hand, the king, by a fine made with him, gave licence to Henry to enfeoff Richard of the same, which are held in chief, and gave licence to Richard to hold them, as may appear by the king's letters patent shown in chancery.
Dec. 5.
Westminster.
To Gerard Salvayn, escheator in co. York. Order not to intermeddle further with the manor of Thornton in Craven and with the advowson of Thornton church, restoring the issues thereof to Thomas de Roos, son of William de Roos of Hamelak, brother and heir of John de Roos, as the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that Margaret de Roos at her death held the said manor and advowson of the grant made to her and to the said John, her husband, and to John's heirs, by George de Roos, knight, and Peter de Richer, by a fine levied in the king's court, and that afterwards William gave the reversion of the manor and the said advowson to Thomas, after John's death, by virtue of which grant Margaret attorned herself to Thomas for the manor and advowson, and they are held of another than the king by certain services.
