To the sheriff of Somerset. Order to supersede until St. Hilary next
the execution of the exigent against Alexander de Cheverel, in which he
was put to be outlawed in that county [court] because he did not come
before Aymer de Valencia and Hugh le Despenser and their fellows, the
justices appointed to hear and determine the trespasses against Queen
Margaret, the king's consort, in the park of Cammel, whereof he was
indicted, the king having lately ordered the sheriff to supersede execution
until Michaelmas next because Alexander was with him in his service in
Scotland, and the king now wishes to show him further favour at the
instance of his consort and because he is still in the said service. By p.s. |

To the taxors and collectors of the fifteenth in Cumberland. Whereas
the men of the community of that county lately granted to the king
at his request in aid of his expedition to Scotland 500 quarters of
oats and 200 quarters of malt, and delivered the corn to William de
Mulcastre, sheriff of that county, and to James de Dalilegh, the king's
clerk, whom he appointed to receive the corn; and the king promised
by his letters patent to cause the men to be satisfied for the corn
from the first moneys levied from the fifteenth in that county, and
caused other letters patent to be made to the taxors and collectors
to make payment to the men from such money for the corn by a view
of one of his clerks, whom he should assign for this purpose; and the
king afterwards ordered them by letters of privy seal to cause the men
to be satisfied for the corn without delay from the money of the fifteenth,
and they have hitherto deferred satisfying them, as the men have shown
to the king: the king orders the taxors and collectors to satisfy the men
for the corn from the money of the fifteenth by the view and testimony
of the said sheriff and James, whom the king has ordered to be intendent
to them in this matter, and by indenture to be made between the
taxors and collectors and the sheriff and James, laying aside all delay, in
accordance with the king's previous orders, so that it shall not be necessary
for the men to solicit him again in this behalf, but so that they may be
the more ready to do those things that the king will order hereafter. |

To the bailiffs of Boston. Whereas the king lately—at the prosecution
of Adam de Barton, suggesting that John, duke of Brabant, is bound by
his letters obligatory to him and Robert de Lyndeseye, Henry de Wystede,
and Walter de Beverlay in divers sums of money, which he ought to have
paid to them long ago and which he has refused to pay—ordered the
bailiffs to arrest all goods and wares of merchants of the duke's land and
power found in that town, and to cause them to be kept safely until the
said merchants should be satisfied for their debts or until otherwise
ordered; and afterwards the king, because he was given to understand
that the bailiffs had arrested cloth and other wares of John de Pount,
merchant of Brabant, to the value of 63l., ordered them to certify him as
to this arrest, and they have signified to him that they have arrested
goods of the said John to the value of 63l. at the suit of Walter de
Whytene, who prosecuted the matter on behalf of the said Adam, Robert,
Henry and Walter; and it appears to the king by the duke's said letters
that the duke is indebted to Adam, Robert, Henry and Walter in
200l. 6s. 6d., towards which he caused goods and wares of merchants of
the duke's power to be arrested at Kyngeston-on-Hul to the value of
137l. 6s. 6d., and delivered to the said merchants: the king, wishing to
satisfy them for the remaining 63l., orders the bailiffs to cause the cloth
and goods aforesaid thus arrested to be delivered to Adam, Robert, Henry
and Walter, according to the valuation thereof made by the bailiffs or one
to be made again in the presence of John de Pount, if he demand it, in
full satisfaction of the said 200l. 6s. 6d., taking first from them security
that they will answer for the cloth and goods to those who may wish to
speak against them in the king's court concerning them. |

daughter, and certain of their ministers of their liberty of Kilkenny are
molested before the justiciary concerning the taking of John le Blunt,
William le Crockar, Adam le Crockar, and Walter le Blunt and their
detention in the earl and Joan's prison, and they have a day concerning

king, as the earl is with him in Scotland in his service, orders the

outlawry because he did not appear before Aymer de Valencia, Hugh le
Despenser, and their fellows, justices to hear and determine certain
trespasses committed against the king in the park of Cammel, wherewith
he was charged, and not to molest or aggrieve him in any way hereafter
for this reason, which exigent the king lately ordered the sheriff to
supersede until Michaelmas last because Roger was in his service in
Scotland, as Roger has now satisfied Queen Margaret, the king's consort,
to whom the king granted the fines, ransoms and amercements of all
those convicted before the justices of such trespasses, by a fine made
with her, as she has signified to the king by her letters. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas Master

Guillotus le Sautreur for certain tenements that belonged to John de
Butterleye, to wit a messuage and four shops in the city of London,
before the sheriffs of the city, to be pleaded according to the custom
of the city, and the king ordered the sheriffs by a writ of the exchequer
for certain reasons to supersede the taking of the assize and to warn
Jordan to be in his proper person at the exchequer on the morrow of
Holy Trinity last before the king's council, there to show what he
claims to have or of right ought to have in the said tenements; and
after the matter had been discussed before the council in the exchequer,
Guillotus, wishing to avoid the damages that he might incur if Jordan
should recover the tenements by recognition of the assize aforesaid,
rendered the tenements to Jordan before the council, renouncing any
right that he might have therein, saving to him 20s. yearly from them,
to be received until he should be satisfied for the debts in which John at
his death was indebted to the king and which the king had given to
Guillotus; the king orders the treasurer and barons to cause nothing to
be exacted or levied from the tenements except the said 20s. yearly for the
use of Guillotus. |

To the mayor and sheriffs of London. Whereas the king lately—at
the suit of Guidetus and Janotus Spynell', citizens of Genoa, suggesting
that they had been robbed by certain malefactors of Flanders of a ship
of Dover that they caused to be laden at Whitsand with horses, armour,
gold cloth, silk, velvet and other goods to the value of 522 marks sterling
and over, on the voyage to Dover—requested John, count of Namur,
and Guy, his brother, sons of Guy, count of Flanders, to cause to be
restored to Guidetus and Janotus, or their attorney, the ship, horses,
armour, cloth and other goods, or their value; and he ordered the mayor
and sheriffs, because the count and Guy did nothing in answer to his
request, to cause goods of the merchants of Flanders who were not of the
party of the king of France to be arrested to the value of 522 marks and
over, and to cause them to be kept under the seals of the Flemings and
of the attorneys of Guidetus and Janotus until further orders; and the
king now learns from the complaint of William Julian, merchant of
Bordeaux, that the mayor and sheriffs have caused certain of his wines to
be arrested in that city by virtue of the order aforesaid, and that they
detain them by reason of a contract between him and certain men of
Flanders for the sale of the wines to them, although he had claimed
the wines before the mayor and sheriffs as his own, and the Flemings
had no part in them, and he had not received any money from them for
the wines at the time of the arrest, and this he offered to verify in any
way that the king's court should decide: the king orders the mayor and
sheriffs, if William can prove and verify before them that the wines are
his own property and were in his seisin and not in that of any Fleming
at the time of the arrest and that he had not received any money for them
from any Fleming by reason of any contract, and that he does not
fraudulently avouch the wine to be his own, to cause the wine to be
restored to William, or to cause him to be satisfied for its value. |

to Idonia, late the wife of Thomas de Gatesden, a quarter of the manor of
Bocton Alulphi, which he has taken into the king's hands by reason of
the death of Thomas, as the king learns by an inquisition taken by the
escheator that Thomas and Idonia held the said quarter at Thomas's
death of Idonia's inheritance of the king as of the honour of Boulogne,
which is in the king's hands, by the service of doing suit at the king's
court of Wytham from month to month and of rendering 6l. 13s. 4d.

To the sheriff of Northampton. Order to cause William Roys of
Grantham, imprisoned at Peterborough for the death of William de
Northstoke, who was slain in co. Lincoln, wherewith he is charged, to be
released from prison, as the king learns by inquisition taken by the sheriff
of Lincoln that William was charged with the said death out of hatred
and malice, and not because he was guilty thereof, and he has found the
sheriff of Lincoln by the king's order twelve men of that county, to wit
John Roys of Grantham, Gilbert de Crosholm of Gunwardeby, Walter le
Graunt of Gunwardeby, Thomas de Basingham of Grantham, Thomas
Roys of Grantham, William de Horton of Welleby, Alvred Crisping of
Athelington, Simon le Clerk of Dunsthorp, John son of Nicholas de

Gunwardeby and Robert le Graunt of Belton, who have mainperned to

To the mayor and sheriffs of London. Whereas the king lately—
because Guidetus and Janotus Spynell, citizens of Genoa, had been
despoiled of horses, armour, cloth of gold, and silk, velvet, and other
goods to the value of 522 marks sterling and over in a ship of Dover laden
at Whitsand on the voyage to Dover by certain malefactors of Flanders—
requested John, count of Namur, and Guy, his brother, sons of Guy,
count of Flanders, to cause the horses, armour, cloth and goods, or their
value, to be restored to Guidetus and Janotus, and, for greater security,
he ordered the mayor and sheriffs to cause goods of the merchants of
Flanders who were not of the party of the king of France to be arrested
to the value of 522 marks and over, and to cause them to be kept safely
under the seal of the said Flemings and of the attorneys of Guidetus and
Janotus until the king should ascertain what restitution the count and
Guy should cause to be made to Guidetus and Janotus, or until further
orders, and to certify the king of their proceedings in this matter; and
the mayor and sheriffs have signified to the king that among the goods
and wares arrested by them by virtue of the said order they had arrested
certain pieces of cloth found in the seisin of Henry Scof of Malynes, citizen of London, to the value of 120 marks, which Guidetus and Janotus
asserted belonged to merchants of Flanders, and that Henry claimed them
as his own chattels, and offered to prove and verify the ownership thereof
by whatsoever means the king's court should decide; and the mayor and
sheriffs, because they were given to understand that he tendered such
proof and verification maliciously in order to exclude the said merchants
from recovering their goods, deferred admitting the verification and proof
without another order from the king. As Henry has now before the king
offered to prove by any means that the king's court shall decide that the
cloth was at the time of the arrest and before his own, and that no
Fleming had at that time any share in it, and has besought the king to
do him justice in this matter, the king orders the mayor and sheriffs to
restore the cloth to Henry, if he can prove and verify before them that it
was his own at the time of the arrest and before, and that no Fleming
had any share in it at that time, and that he did not tender the proof and
verification before them in fraud of the said merchants of Genoa, and to
cause goods of merchants of Flanders who were not of the party of the
king of France to be arrested to the value of 522 marks and over, and to
cause them to be kept in form aforesaid until otherwise ordered. |

wife of the said Richard, and for the death of John de London[ia],
whereof he was appealed by Alice, late the wife of John, in the king's
court before Roger and his fellows, justices to hold pleas before the king,
which appeal the women did not prosecute, as the king learns from
Roger's testimony, as William de Combe of co. Berks, Thomas de Cheselden,
and Walter de Basingstok of co. Southampton, and Walrand de Pokeriche
of co. Hertford have mainperned before Master William de Grenefeld,
the chancellor, that Edmund shall forthwith set out for Scotland, to

that Edmund shall stand to right in the king's court if any one wish
to speak against him concerning the said deaths when he returns from
Scotland. By p.s. |

of that county, to wit John Roys of Grantham, Gilbert de Crosholm of

of Grantham, Thomas Roys of Grantham, William de Horton of Welby,
Alvred Crispyng of Athelington, Simon le Clerk of Dunsthorp, John
son of Nicholas de Lunderthorp, John Wade of Gunwardeby, Adam

has made known to the king. |
