let to buy in the realm woollen cloths to the value of the eels he has
sold in the city of London, to lade the same in that port and take them

To William de Reygate escheator in Yorkshire. Order to restore
to the abbot of Kirkestall the lands of his abbey in Alwaldeley taken
into the king's hand by William de Nessefeld late escheator, together
with the issues thereof, saving to the king the services and rents
hereinafter mentioned, if by right due to him; as the king lately
ordered the late escheator to certify in chancery the cause wherefore the
said lands were so taken, and he certified that he found by inquisition,
before him taken of his office, that the late abbot held to him and his
successors a messuage, four bovates of land and 4 acres of meadow
in Alwaldeley (containing in all a messuage and four bovates of
land) of John de Insula lord of the manor of Harewode by knight
service and by the service of rendering to the said John and his heirs
2d. a year to the fines of the king's wapentake of Shirak, that the said
John held the same in service in chief as of the crown as parcel of his
said manor by the service aforesaid, and in the king's time without
his licence released those services to the abbot and his successors,
by virtue whereof the abbot held the premises in chief as of the crown
by the said services, that the abbey was after void by death and
cession of divers abbots, and that the now abbot entered without
process of the king's court, not doing the services etc. which pertain
to the king in that behalf, wherefore he took the premises into the king's
hand; and the said cause being at the suit of the said abbot brought
before the king and council and examined, it seems to the council that
the premises were unlawfully so taken, for that in the said certificate
no trespass is found in the acquisition thereof. |

king's hand, and that Philip de Lutteleye late escheator had the

were laded and lodged in a cellar of the said John at London contrary
to the statute, it is said, are forfeit to the king. By C. |

that a third part of the manors of Lassyden, Leye, Westbury and
Eggesworth co. Gloucester and a third part of the fourth part of the
manor of Westhide co. Hereford came to the king's hands by reason of
the idiocy of the said John, who died while the same were in the king's

William at his death held in his demesne as of fee the said land in St.
Briavel in chief by the service of keeping the king's castle of St.
Briavel in time of war, and the residue of the premises of others than
the king, that Guy de Bryen keeper of the said castle and of the forest

immediately after William's death, who died on Monday after St.
Barnabas in the 22nd year of the reign, and demised the wardship

king's hand and not to meddle further with three messuages,
one mill, two carucates of land, 60 acres of meadow, 50 acres of pasture

as the king lately ordered the escheator to certify in chancery the
cause wherefore the manor of Esthanneye of Thomas de Besyles
knight and John Seymor was by him taken into the king's hand, and
he returned that he learned by report of many that Alice who was wife
of William Noioun at her death held the premises for life with
reversion to the heirs of the said William and that the said William
was a bastard and died without an heir, that he took the same into
the king's hand supposing them to be held in chief for that no chief
lord of the fee put in any claim to the lordship thereof, that after it
was found by inquisition, before him taken of his office, that John
Tyrel and Joan his wife recovered the premises of the said William
by an assize of novel disseisin as the right of Joan, and by fine levied
in the king's court gave them to Thomas de Besyles knight, Thomas
Feteplace and John Seymore and to the heirs of John Seymore, that
after the recovery William Noioun had no seisin or estate therein,
and that the same are not held of the king; and the king considers
that cause insufficient. |
