To the treasurer and barons. Whereas the king learnt by inquisition
taken in his tenth year by Gervase de Clyfton, then sheriff of Derby, that
the land in Waleton-on-Trent that is of the dower of Joan de Monte Alto,
which Joan demised to John de Parys at ferm for a term of six years,
which had not then expired—which land, with all the goods and chattels
of John, the king caused to be taken into his hands because John
had fled for a larceny charged against him—was worth yearly in all issues
16 marks, and that the goods and chattels aforesaid were worth 11l. 18s. 6d.
and that the term had then four years to run; and the king thereupon
ordered Gervase to restore the land to Joan and to cause the chattels to be
delivered to her at a certain price, if she would make fine with him for
the king's use for the term aforesaid in order that she might have again the
land for the said term, and if she would find security to render to the king
at the exchequer at Michaelmas the value of the chattels aforesaid, or that
Gervase should otherwise resume the land into the king's hands; and it
was afterwards found by an inquisition taken by Thomas de Normanvill
and returned before the treasurer and barons in the exchequer that the
land was demised to John for twenty marks yearly, and that it is worth
only sixteen marks yearly, so that the land was demised to John for four
marks yearly above its value, for which reason Gervase permitted Joan to
enter and hold the land after John's flight because nothing could accrue to
the king in this behalf; and the treasurer and barons nevertheless have
charged Gervase with 56 marks for the ferm for half a year in the tenth
year of the reign and for the three following years in his account for the
time when he was sheriff: the king orders them to discharge Gervase of
the said 56 marks for the ferm; provided, however, that he answer for the
true value of the goods and chattels aforesaid. Witness: Edmund, earl
of Cornwall. |

ordered Richard to deliver the lands to Edmund, the king's brother, with
everything received thence, saving to John son and heir of Robert, late earl
Ferrers (de Ferariis), a minor in the king's wardship, his right in the
