as on 16 February last the king by letters patent gave for good service
to John Tristrem his counter-searcher (contrarimator) for life with
reversion to the king and his heirs the said messuages and lands, which
were of John Botild, and came to the king's hand as an escheat for
that the said John Botild, tenant thereof in chief it was said, committed a felony whereof he was convicted; and after at the suit of the
said William, alleging that the premises are one messuage, 87 acres of land,
6 acres of meadow, 15 acres of wood and 9s. of rent in Staundon
co. Hertford called le Haukers, that they are held of others than the

were of John and Margaret in Staundon, and was thereof seised until
put out by the said John Tristrem by virtue of the said letters patent,
and praying that the king would order restitution thereof to be made
him, as on 5 July in the 34th year the king by letters patent pardoned
John Botild the suit of his peace to him pertaining for all trespasses
and felonies whereof he was indicted, and any outlawries published
against him, and after an outlawry published in error against the said
John for trespasses and felonies so pardoned was annulled by process
before the king, whereby it was decided that John Botild should have
again all his lands, goods and chattels taken into the king's hand, the
king ordered the sheriff to warn John Tristrem to be before him in

126l. 13s. 4d. for the price of certain goods and chattels of Master
Andrew de Offord deceased by him occupied it is said, discharging
him thereof; as the said Lawrence has shewn the king that though
the said Andrew was not outlawed at any time, by negilgence of the
writer, his name is inserted in error in a roll sent by the king to the
treasurer and barons among the names of other men who on Monday
after St. Hilary in the 25th year of the reign were by process before the
king outlawed for that they came not before him to answer for contempts and trespasses by them committed, by colour whereof the
treasurer and barons are causing the sum aforesaid to be demanded
of Lawrence by summons of the exchequer, pretending that the goods
and chattels of Andrew are forfeit to the king, and are causing him to
be distrained, wherefore he has prayed for remedy; and it is found by
certificate of Henry Grene the chief justice, sent into chancery by
the king's command, that Andrew was not outlawed on the day named

negligence as aforesaid. |

To the sheriff of Somerset. Order to remove the king's hand and
not to intermeddle further with a moiety of the manor of Haselbere
held by Sibyl who was wife of Alan son of Alan Plokenet, restoring to
Thomas de la Bere any issues taken of that moiety; as lately upon
information received that Alan Plokenet at his death held the said
manor, which is held in chief, in his demesne as of fee by grant of King
Edward I, and died without an heir, whereby the same ought to pertain
to the king as an escheat, the king appointed Ralph de Middelneye,
Thomas Cary and Robert de Hadham, three and two of them, to
make inquisition touching the premises; and after on the finding of an
inquisition, taken before the said Thomas and Robert, that Alan
Plokenet held the said manor as aforesaid in chief by knight service,
that he was an alien and bastard, that after his death Alan his son
entered the same as his true heir of him begotten, and continued his
seisin 3½ years, that after his death King Edward II restored a moiety
of the said manor to Joan sister and heir of Alan the son, who died
without an heir of her body, and with the other moiety dowered
the said Sibyl, and so Joan occupied one moiety 3 years and died
without an heir of her body, whereby Simon de Bereford late escheator
this side Trent in the 5th year of the reign took that moiety into the
king's hand, that being deceived by the return of a writ of diem clausit
extremum after the death of the said Joan, obtained at the suit of
Richard de Bere alleging that he is cousin and heir of Joan, namely
that Richard was her cousin and next heir, the king restored to him
her moiety, whereof he died seised, and that after his death the king
took that moiety into his hand and restored it to Thomas de la Bere
son and heir of Richard, and so Richard and Thomas occupied it from
the said 5th year, taking the issues and profits, the king by writ ordered
the sheriff to warn Thomas to be in chancery in the quinzaine of Easter
then next to shew cause wherefore the moiety of the said manor, which
he so held, ought not to be taken into the king's hand as an escheat,
and wherefore he ought not to answer for the issues from the 5th year;
at which day Thomas came, and said that the said Alan was not an
alien nor bastard, but born at Thornton co. Dorset, being begotten
in lawful matrimony of Andrew de la Bere and Alice his wife sister of
Robert Walrand of the English nation, and craved an inquisition of
the country hereupon, and Henry de Greystok, who sued for the king,
said he was an alien and bastard, and offered so to prove, wherefore
a day was given Thomas to be before the king in the quinzaine of
Trinity then next to do and receive what should be lawful in the
premises; and now it is found by inquisition, taken before the king,
that Alan was son of the said Andrew and Alice, ancestors of Thomas
whose heir he is, born as aforesaid, wherefore it was decided that Thomas
should go without a day, as is found by the record and process which
the king has caused to come before him in chancery; wherefore Thomas
has petitioned the king for livery of the other moiety of the said manor
held in dower by the said Sibyl, which by her death is taken into the
king's hand, and the wardship committed to him by letters patent
under the seal of the exchequer, to hold for a set yearly farm until
debate be had whether the manor ought to pertain to the king or
Thomas, praying also his discharge of the farm and issues for the
time it was in the king's hand. |
|
Order to the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer to remove
the king's hand from the moiety of the said manor, discharging as
well the said Thomas as the sheriff, and restoring to Thomas any issues
thereof taken to the king's use. |

and to take them to the parts of Spain and Gascony after paying the
customs thereon due, any orders, proclamations or commands to the
contrary notwithstanding; as the king has granted the said Ellis
