Greenford. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. The executors of the
will of William de la Cornere, late bishop of Salisbury, have shown the
king that whereas the bishop, as the other bishops of the realm, granted
to the king, in the eighteenth year of his reign, a tenth of his spiritual
goods according to the taxation of Norwich, for which reason he ought
not to pay the fifteenth granted to the king in the same year by the
community of the realm from their temporal goods, the treasurer and

belonged to the bishop, although the tenth of his spiritual goods is paid
to the exchequer, and have caused part thereof to be levied: the king orders
them to cause the executors to be acquitted of the said fifteenth if they

chief except a messuage and a carucate of land in Erleton, co. Salop, by
the service of 6s. 8d. to the exchequer at Michaelmas for all service,
by reason whereof the wardship of the lands that he held of other

and that stayed there in the king's service by order of him and his said
brother from 7 March, in the twenty-fourth year of his reign, until
Ascension day in the same year for fifty-eight days, and for the wages of
the sailors of other ships that were loaded with corn for Gascony and for

of Edmund and the bill aforesaid, and to audit the barons' account for the
wages due to them and their sailors for their service in Gascony and
Scotland as above, and to cause allowance to be made to them for the

king lately—upon being given to understand that Benedict de Blakenham,
to whom Hugh de Sancto Phileberto, deceased, tenant in chief, demised
for Benedict's life the manor of Soulham and certain lands in Pangeburn,
Purle, Tyghelhurst, Leghyng, and La Hyde, had sold the manor and lands
in fee to the disinheritance of John, son and heir of Hugh, who is a
minor in the king's wardship, and contrary to the tenor of a deed
of covenant made between Hugh and Benedict concerning the demise
aforesaid—ordered the escheator, if he found by inquisition that Benedict
had alienated the manor and lands or part of them contrary to the form
of the covenant, to take into the king's hands all that he should find
to have been thus alienated, and to cause them to be kept safely until
otherwise ordered; by virtue of which order the escheator has taken
into the king's hands the lands of Agnes de Somery in the said towns
of Pangeburn, Purle and Leghyng, although it could not appear by
the inquisition taken by him that Benedict had any lands there by
demise from Hugh other than the said manor of Soulham and the lands
in Tyghelhurst and La Hyde that Benedict had by Hugh's demise and
that he demised to Agnes, as appears to the king by the inquisition
aforesaid; and whereas Benedict and Agnes have shown before the king's
council a deed of quit-claim made to Benedict and his heirs of a moiety
of the manor of Soulham by Hugh after the demise aforesaid, and also a
charter afterwards made to Agnes and her heirs by Benedict, and Agnes
claims nothing in the other moiety of the manor or in the lands in
Tyghelhurst and La Hyde demised to Benedict by Hugh except the
custody of the same at Benedict's will for his (ejusdem) maintenance: the
king orders the escheator to restore to Agnes her said lands in Pangeburn,
Purle and Leghyng and the moiety of the manor of Soulham that she
has by Benedict's demise, together with the issues received thence since
they were taken into the king's hands, to be held by her in the same way
as she held them before they were taken into the king's hands, after
taking from her security to answer to the king for the issues of the said
moiety if it ought to pertain to the king and for the lands that she holds
for Benedict's maintenance as is aforesaid, and not to intermeddle further
therewith. |

inquisition taken by the sheriff of Buckingham that the abbot and his
predecessors, parsons of that church, have been wont to receive such tithes
from time out of memory, both in the time of Richard de Alemann[ia],
late earl of Cornwall, and in the time of Edmund, the late earl, from the
colts of Richard and Edmund and of others, until Persone Lumbard and
William Beausamis, keepers of the king's stud, after the manor and park
had come to the king's hands by Edmund's death, hindered the abbot
from receiving the tithe, by reason whereof the bailiffs, after the king had
assigned the manor and park to the queen, hindered and still hinder the
abbot as to this. By pet of C. |

by letters patent under the exchequer seal the custody of the castle of
Scardeburgh during the king's pleasure, and afterwards, on 3 October, in
the twenty-fifth year of his reign, he committed the custody of the castle
to Ralph son of William during pleasure, and ordered John by his letters
to deliver the castle to Ralph, as appears to him by inspection of the said
letters; and John has given him to understand that 25l. are in arrear to
him of the time when he had the custody of the fee that he ought to have
received for the custody, and that when he was besieged in the castle of
Stryvelyn in the king's service in his war in Scotland and during his

of the last voidance, so that there may then be done what shall seem
good to the king, restoring to the prioress and nuns in the meantime
anything that he may have levied in this behalf, as the king learns by
an inquisition taken by the escheator and by trustworthy testimony that
Richard, late king of Almain, father of Edmund, late earl of Cornwall,

of William Austin, executors of the will of Richard son of John, sometime
a burgess and merchant of Dunwich, and of James le Reve, citizen and
merchant of London, suggesting that Richard and James took three of
Richard's ships laden with the goods and wares of Richard and James to
Holland and Zeeland to trade there with the same, and that Katherine,
lady of Vorne, and certain other malefactors of Holland and Zeeland
entered the ships in the port of Merland, in Zeeland, by force and
arms, and took and carried away the goods and wares to the value of
4016l. 10s. 8d., and detained them without making any satisfaction to
Richard and James or to Richard's executors—requested by his letters
John, late count of Hainault, Holland and Zeeland and lord of Friesland,
and the aforesaid Katherine to cause the goods and wares to be restored to
Richard's executors and to James, and the count and Katherine have wholly
failed to do justice in this matter, although they received the king's
letters, as appears to the king by the letters testimonial of the community
of the town of Dunwich, under their common seal, exhibited before the
king and his council; whereupon the king ordered the mayor and sheriffs
to cause goods and wares of the merchants of Hainault, Holland, Zeeland
and Friesland within their bailiwick to be arrested to the value of 300l.
and to cause them to be kept safely until the executors and James shall be
fully satisfied for the said goods and wares according to the law merchant,
or until otherwise ordered by the king, certifying the king of their proceedings in this behalf; and they have returned that it is found by an
inquisition taken by them by virtue of the said order that John Vanne and
his fellows, merchants of the society of the Ballardi of Lucca, are bound to
James Coppard and Clays Brun of Ciriseye, who are of the power of the
count, in 100l. 4s. 9d., and that, after calling before them John Vanne, for
himself and his fellows, and James Coppard, for himself and Clays, his
fellow, the said James acknowledged that he is of the town of Cyriseye and
of the power of the said count, and that John is bound to them in the
said sum, and John likewise acknowledged that he is bound to James and
Clays in this sum, which the mayor and sheriffs have arrested in the hands
of John and which they cause to be kept under arrest: the king orders
them to cause the said 100l. 4s. 9d. to be delivered to the said executors
and James le Reve, in part satisfaction of the first sum of 4,016l. 10s. 8d.,
and to arrest goods of merchants of Hainault, Holland, Zeeland and
Friesland coming within their bailiwick to the value of 199l. 15s. 3d., the

Ralph granted the former manor to Simon for life ten days before his
death and the latter in like manner fifteen days before his death, and that
he was of good memory and sound mind at the time of the grant, and
that Simon continued his seisin thereof in peace from that time until the
