October 1300



Oct. 23. Dumfries.	To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause the late king's great charter of the liberties of England to be firmly observed before them in the exchequer in all and singular its articles, as the king wills that the said charter, which he has confirmed and renewed, shall be firmly and inviolably observed in all its articles. [Prynne, Records, iii, p. 855.]
Oct. 30. Dumfries.	To the justices of the Bench. Order to cause the articles that the king has granted to the people of his realm for the alleviation of their grievances sustained by reason of the late wars, which articles the king sends them under his seal, to be observed and kept firmly before them in the Bench.
Oct. 23. Dumfries.	William de Ros of Ingmanthorp, the elder, acknowledges that he owes to William de Hamelton, dean of St. Peter's church, York, 11l.; to be levied, in default of payment, of his lands and chattels in co. York.
—	To G. bishop of Worcester. The king understands that the bishop has publicly and inhumanly prohibited in the town of Gloucester anyone from buying or selling bread, wine, ale, or any victuals necessary for maintenance from or to the prior and canons of St. Oswald's of that town, under pain of excommunication, at which the king is greatly surprised and moved. As such inhibition redounds to the prejudice of the king's crown and the injury of his royal dignity, and as the king cannot tolerate such an innovation (insolertiam), but wills that all of his realm indifferently and others who are in his faith and peace may buy and sell victuals and other things for sale in the realm, he inhibits the bishop from attempting to make any such inhibitions hereafter, and orders him to cause to be revoked speedily any that he may have made or any sentences of excommunication that he may have pronounced (protuleritis) in this behalf, so that it may not be necessary for the king to apply a remedy through the bishop's default. [Prynne, Records, iii, p. 857.]
	To the vice-gerent of Master Gerard de Wyspayns, archdeacon of Richmond, during his absence in parts beyond sea. Whereas the king's clerks ought not to be molested or disquieted to take orders or to make personal residence in their benefices or otherwise concerning them while they are in the king's service, and the king and his progenitors, kings of England, have always used heretofore such liberty or privilege for his clerks from time out of mind that such clerks have not been wont to be compelled at any times past concerning such things or otherwise concerning their benefices: the king inhibits the vice-gerent from compelling Adam de Osgodeby, parson of the church of Haukeswell in that archdeaconry, who is continuously engaged in the king's services by his order, concerning these things or from disquieting him otherwise concerning his benefice while he is engaged in the king's service, and orders him to cause any sequestration of the fruits or goods of the benefice that he may have caused to be made in this behalf to be released without delay. [Prynne, Records, iii, p. 858.]
	Memorandum, that the extents and inquisitions of the knights' fees that belonged to William de Fortibus, sometime earl of Albemarle, are on the files for the sixteenth year.
