received weekly in that town from the issues of his manors of Hundeden
and Northese, together with the carriage thereof from the manors to the
town of Lewes, as contained in his charter, which the king has inspected,

as the king learns from their complaint: the king, willing that the grant
shall be continued for so long as the manors shall be in his hands, orders
the escheator to cause them to have the rent out of the issues of the

besought the king to restore to him his island of May and manor of
Pednewem in that bailiwick, which were conferred upon the church
of Redyng by former kings of Scotland and were delivered to the abbot as
a cell of his church by the king after the realm of Scotland came to his
hands by the rebellion of John de Balliolo, late king there, and which
the abbot held peacefully as a cell of his church from the time of that
delivery until William le Waleys and his accomplices, lately insurgents
against the king in those parts, ejected the abbot and his men from the
said island and manor: the king orders them to cause the abbot to have
such seisin of the island and manor as he had before the commencement
of the late war, and not to permit him to be disturbed by any one as to
his seisin, so that after he have had seisin he may answer to everybody as
he ought. By pet. of C. |

all money that he can levy from the issues of his bailiwick and from
other lands and rents of the king in his hands by the king's commission,
and to pay thence the sum aforesaid to Peter in the king's name, each
sterling being reckoned as four Tournois.
