To Ralph the cofferer (cofrario). Order, made at the request of Edward,
the king's son, to restore to the barons of the Cinque Ports their wool taken
into the king's hands at Sandwich by Hervey de Staunton (as in order at
p. 109, above), if he satisfy himself that the wool was thus taken into the
king's hands and is detained for no other reason, on condition that they
shall cause it to be taken to parts beyond sea before Midsummer, after
payment of the custom thereon, or if they do not, it shall remain to the
king, as the treasurer and barons have done nothing in execution of the
order (at p. 109) to restore the wool, as the king learns from the complaint
of the said barons. |

To the sheriff of York. Whereas the late king granted to Edmund,
the present king's brother, and to Avelina, his wife, that they should
have for ever a market on Wednesday in every week at their manor of
Skipse, in that county, and a fair every year at their manor of Hedon, in
the same county, on the eve, the day, and the morrow of St. Augustine
in Autumn and for five days following, and another fair every year at their
manor of Pokelinton, in the same county, on the eve, the day, and the
morrow of All Saints and for five days following, as contained in his
charter, which manors are now in the king's hands; the king, willing
that the market and fairs, together with another fair at the manor of
Skipse yearly on the eve, the day, and the morrow of All Saints, shall be
held henceforth, orders the sheriff to cause the market and fairs to be
publicly proclaimed and held. |

Canterbury. |
To Stephen de Penecestre, warden of the Cinque Ports. The barons
and men of the port of Dover have intimated to the king that they
suffered such damage by the burning of their houses, ships and goods in
the assault lately made upon them in that port by aliens of the power
of the king of France that they have no ships of their own by which they
can do the service that they owe to the king in his present passage to the
parts of Flanders, and they have prayed the king that they may hire
ships to do the service from the fleet of ships that the king has ordered
to come to Winchelse: the king orders the warden to permit them to hire
ships from the said fleet for this purpose by the will of their owners. |
June 6.
Canterbury. |
To G. bishop of Worcester. Order to restore to Master Peter Doucet
the church of Aveninges, which the bishop took into the king's hands by
virtue of the king's order to take into his hands the benefices of alien
secular parsons, whether they be canons or rectors of churches or otherwise beneficed in the realm, of the power of the king of France and his
adherents, because Peter is an alien, as the king wishes to show him
favour for his long and good services to Eleanor, late queen of England,
the king's mother, and afterwards to Mary, his daughter, a nun of
Ambresbury. |
|
To Ralph the cofferer (cofrario). Order to cause to be delivered to John
Rosse and Richard de Hikelyng, merchants of Seford, their wool that was
taken into the king's hands at Sandwich by Henry (sic) de Staunton, who
was lately appointed to take into the king's hands wool and hides in
co. Kent, if they ascertain that it was carried to that town by John and
Richard before the Close of Easter, in accordance with the king's
proclamation, if it was taken into the king's hands by reason of the
proclamation, on condition that they shall cause it to be taken to parts
beyond sea before Midsummer, after payment of the custom thereon due
to the king. If they do not, the wool shall remain forfeited to the king. |
|
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king lately
ordered them to hear the complaint of Thomas de Shelvyngg, merchant
of Sandwich, and of his fellows of that town concerning their wool found
at London and arrested by Ralph de Sandwyco, John de Insula, Henry
Spigurnel, and John de Bauquell for the king's use, contrary to the form
of the ordinance for arresting wool for the king's use, and to cause
justice to be done to the said merchants; and they afterwards wrote to
the chancellor that although it was ordained in the first ordinance for
arresting wool for the king's use that the wool of native merchants should
not be arrested, nevertheless it was agreed and provided by Hugh le
Despenser, John de Drokenesford, keeper of the king's wardrobe, and by
others of the king's council sitting in the exchequer, because the sum of
wool provided could not be obtained by the ordinance, that the wool of
well to do (sufficiencium) and especially of wealthy native merchants
should be arrested for the king's use, and that the wool of Thomas and
his fellows was arrested by virtue of the later ordinance. As the king
has heard nothing previously of any such ordinance, and knows nothing
of it or of any other ordinance except that by which it was ordained that
wool and hides that had not been carried within the time after the
proclamation limited for this purpose should be forfeited to him, and as
he does not wish to wrong the said merchants, he orders the treasurer and
barons to cause the wool to be restored, if they ascertain that it was
carried in accordance with the proclamation and if it was arrested solely
by reason of the last ordinance, on condition that it be taken to parts
beyond sea before Midsummer next, after payment of the custom thereon
due to the king. If it be not thus taken, it shall remain wholly forfeited
to the king. |
|
William de Beveresbrok came before the king, on Friday after SS.
Marcellus and Peter, and sought to replevy to Roger Bide his land in
New Sarum, which was taken into the king's hands for this default
before the justices of the Bench against Mabel, daughter of Gervase la
Espicere. This is signified to the justices. |
June 9.
Canterbury. |
To Ralph de Manton, the king's cofferer. Order to deliver to Peter de
Geldeford, provost of the church of Wengham, and to John But of Norwich their wool that was lately arrested at Sandwich for the king's use by
Hervey de Staunton, if he ascertain that it was carried in accordance with
the king's proclamation for wool and hides, on condition that the wool be
taken to parts beyond sea before Midsummer, upon payment of the
custom thereon due to the king. If it be not thus taken, it shall remain
forfeited to the king. |
June 13.
Leeds. |
To the sheriff of York. Although the wool of Henry de Bluntesdon,
the king's chaplain, in the sheriff's bailiwick is forfeited to the king in
accordance with the late proclamation concerning wool and hides because
it was not carried within the time limited for this purpose, the king
has pardoned him all other penalties incurred by him in this behalf, on
condition that the wool remain entirely forfeited to the king: the king
therefore orders the sheriff to cause Henry's goods and chattels, which
were taken into the king's hands by reason of the trespass aforesaid, to
be delivered to him. |
|
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause to be
delivered to John Bussh, Peter Bussh, William de Kancia, John de
Dorking, Paul le Butyler, Walter le Folour, Jordan Box, William de
Hakeneye, Geoffrey Davy, John Gumbard, and William Bussh, merchants
of London, their wool, which was lately taken into the king's hands by
Ralph de Sandwyco, John de Insula, and John de Bauquell, if they ascertain that it was carried to the city, on condition that it be taken to parts
beyond sea before the octaves of St. John the Baptist, after payment of
the custom thereon due to the king. If it be not so taken, it shall
remain forfeited to the king. |

To Richard de Burgo, earl of Ulster. Order to be at London with
horses and arms at the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula to hear and do what
the king shall then cause to be told to him, to wit either to come to the
king or to remain, as the king has summoned the men at arms of his
realm to be with him at London on Sunday after the octaves of St. John
the Baptist, and he considers that Richard cannot conveniently come to
him by that day because he is in distant parts and because of the length of
sea that he must cross. The king requests him to give credence to John
Wogan, justiciary of Ireland, whom the king has ordered to explain his
will in this matter to Richard by word of mouth, and that he will do the
things that the justiciary shall require of him in the king's name,
sending to the king by the justiciary his answers concerning the premises
in writing. [Parl. Writs.] |
