York, and the sheriff returned that it had been so taken because Gilbert
was indicted for divers felonies at York and was afterwards outlawed, and

To the same. Whereas William Heron lately undertook before the king
and his council to stay in the parts of Scotland with ten men at arms and
twenty archers for the defence of those parts and for the repulse and
destruction of the Scots, the king's enemies, for a quarter of a year, from
a day contained in the indenture, at the king's wages, William receiving
12d. a day for himself and each of the men at arms and 6d. a day for each
of the archers, and the king agreed to satisfy him for those wages, which
extended to 91l. for the said quarter and on 2 June in the 16th year of the
reign the king ordered Thomas de Berewyk, Robert de Shirburn and their

To Henry de Craystok, steward of the lands reserved to the king's
chamber. Order to abstain from aggrieving the abbot of Woubourn by
reason of the wardship of the land and heir of Nicholas de Passelewe, tenant
in chief, and not to intermeddle further therewith, as it was lately found
by an inquisition taken by the escheator in the county of Buckingham
concerning the lands whereof Nicholas was seised at his death, that he held
no lands in chief in that county or in his demesne as of fee, but that he
held in Drayton Passelewe in that county certain lands of the abbot by
knight's service, and afterwards at the abbot's suit, by his petition before
the king, showing that he is summoned before the council by Henry to
render account to the king for the said wardship of Nicholas's heir, a minor
in the king's wardship, because it is shown in chancery that Nicholas did
homage to the king for lands which he held in chief in Swanebourn in that
county as parcel of the manor of Childerlangele, co. Hertford, and by
pretext of a certificate made by Henry in chancery at the king's order
that it was found in the rolls and memoranda of chancery in the 13th year
of the late king's reign that Nicholas de Passelewe holds half a knight's
fee in Swanebourn, co. Buckingham, and owes suit at the court of the
manor of Childerlangele every three weeks, and that Nicholas has testified
by a letter patent of the 18th year of the reign that he did fealty to Richard
de Cokham, then keeper of the lands reserved to the king's chamber, for
half a knight's fee of Mortain for the lands which he held in Swanebourn,
which are held in chief as of the said manor by homage, fealty and relief,
although he held the said lands of John de Clynton, lord of Makestoke,
immediately and not of the king, and John held those lands of the king,
and they were never parcels of the said manor as the abbot asserted that
he was ready to prove, and he beseeching the king to order the further
aggrieving to be stayed, the king appointed Robert de Thorp, Hugh de
Sadelyngstanes and John Serjaunt to take an inquisition upon the matter
by the oath of men of the county of Buckingham, in the presence of Henry
or of him who supplies his place, at Swanebourn, and by the inquisition
taken at Aylesbury, in the absence of Henry, although he was notified, it is
found that the tenements in Swanebourn are two messuages and two
carucates of land whereof Thomas Williames holds a messuage and a
carucate, and William atte Welde holds the other messuage and carucate,
which tenements were held of Nicholas by the service of a knight's fee and
6d. yearly, and Nicholas held those lands of John de Clynton of Makestoke
by the service of half a knight's fee, and John held them of William
Cheyndut, sometime lord of Langele, by the service of a moiety of a
knight's fee, as of the honour of Berkhampstede, and William alienated
the manor to Margaret queen of England, wife of Edward I, and from her
the right therein descended to the king, and the said tenements are not and
never have been parcels of that manor, and Nicholas held no lands in chief
in the county of Buckingham at his death, but held from of old his chief
messuage in Drayton Passelewe and 2 carucates of land in Drayton and
Mursle of the said abbot, by the service of a knight's fee. By C. |

by knight's service, and that Elizabeth is his next heir and of full age,

found by other inquisitions that he held in his demesne as of fee divers
