To the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer. Order, if
assured by inquisition or otherwise that by reason of the destruction
wrought by the Scots in those parts Richard de Horsley sheriff of
Northumberland did not nor might not levy the rents, farms and
other profits of old time pertaining to that county, not to charge him
in his account to answer to the king for any not levied for that cause,
thereof discharging him as other sheriffs there used heretofore to be
discharged; as he has shewn the king that the lands in that county
are so wasted by frequent inroads of the Scots lately coming in warlike
manner that he may not levy the said rents, farms and profits, but
that the treasurer and the barons considering not this are purposing
to charge him in his account with all of them, as if the land were not
wasted and he might have levied them all. |

To John Froille escheator in Oxfordshire. Order to take into the
king's hand the manors of Escote and Lynham together with the issues
thereof taken since the death of Adam de Shareshill, and to deliver
them with the said issues to Stephen de Valence and Joan his wife
to hold during her life; as on 8 April last by divers letters
patent the king committed to William Gamboun the keeping of a
messuage and two carucates of land in the town of Ascote, and
to William Hervy the keeping of a messuage and two carucates
of land in the town of Lynham, which are of the heritage of John
de Fienes a minor in the king's wardship, and were in the king's
hand by the death of the said Adam, who held the same for life of that
heritage, to hold with the issues thereof for set yearly farms until
the lawful age of John de Fienes; and after it was found by inquisition,
taken by the escheator at the king's command, that Joan Fienles
long ago held the said manors in her demesne as of fee, and after
espoused the said Adam, that the said Adam and Joan by fine levied
in the king's court granted the said manors to John de Shareshull
parson of Wyrardesbury and John le Moigne and to their heirs, and
they granted the same to the said Adam and Joan and to the heirs
of the said Joan, that the said Adam overlived his said wife and by
virtue of the said grant held the said manor for life with reversion to
William Fienles, son and heir of John Fienles son and heir of the said
Joan Fienles, that William Fienles gave the said reversion to Richard
de Chiderle clerk and John Cramphorn and to their heirs, to whom
the said Adam attorned himself, that after the said Richard, who
overlived John Cramphorn, gave the said reversion to the said
William Fienles (now deceased) and Joan his wife, whom Stephen de
Valence has now taken to wife, and to the heirs of the said William de
Fienles, and the said Adam likewise attorned himself to them, and
that the said manors are not held of the king; and thereupon at the
suit of the said Stephen and of Joan now his wife, praying for
revocation of the said grants to William Gamboun and William Hervy
and for livery to themselves of the said manors and issues, as the said
messuage and land in Escote are the said manor of Escote and the
said messuage and land in Lynham are the said manor of Lynham and
not other lands nor tenements, the king by writ ordered the sheriff
to give notice to the said William Gambon and William Hervy to be
before him in chancery in the octaves of Michaelmas last to shew cause
wherefore the said grants to them respectively made ought not to
be revoked, and the said manors and issues be delivered to the said
Stephen and Joan to hold during her life according to the grant and
attornment aforesaid, and further to do and receive what the court
should determine in the premises; and the sheriff returned that he
gave notice to William Hervy accordingly, and as to William
Gamboun he caused Robert Pursle bailiff of the liberty of the hundred
of Thame to have the return of that writ, who answered that he
likewise gave notice as the writ required; and the said William Hervy
being at the day named called in chancery came not, and William
Gamboun or Michael Skillyng the king's attorney appearing there that
day said nought to the purpose for the king or for the said William
wherefore the said grants ought not to be revoked and the said manors
delivered as aforesaid, wherefore by these presents the king has
revoked the said grants. |

and fealty. By p.s. [28525.] |
