merchants of the land of the count of Holland and Zeeland and lord of
Friesland until Walter le Flemyng should be satisfied for the good stolen
from him from a ship near Berwick by William son of John, Bodekin le
Bawer, and other malefactors of Holland and Zeeland, as it appears by
inquisition taken by the above bailiffs that the said ship, appraised at 16l.,
is the property of one Peter Odemunde, of Dordrecht (Durdragh), in the
dominion of the said count, and that Jacob, in whose possession it was
found, had hired it from him in parts beyond sea upon condition that if
he did not bring her back to Dordrecht, he should then pay Peter 30l.
upon his return; the king being unwilling that the said Jacob should incur
loss, as he is not of the count's dominion. |

To the bailiffs of the Tollbooth (Tolbotha) of Lynne. On the complaint
of Walter le Flemyng, merchant of York, that William son of John and
Bodekin le Bawer and other malefactors of Holland and Zeeland had taken
and carried away by force and arms goods of his to the value of 44l. from a
ship near Berwick, the late king requested W. count of Holland and
Zeeland and lord of Friesland to cause justice to be done to the said
William, to which the count replied that it did not appear to him that the
malefactors were of his dominion; and whereas the present king, at the
request of the count's knight Christian de Raphurst, assigned Sunday before
Lent (Carneprivium) in the first year of his reign to treat before him and his
council of peace between the men of England and the count's men, which
day was prorogued, at the count's request, until three weeks from Easter
day following on condition that the count made satisfaction in the meantime
to the said Walter and other merchants of Lincoln (sic) for the value of their
goods; and afterwards the king requested the count to satisfy them without
delay, as he had not done so according to the form of the prorogation, but
he again did nothing in the matter; whereupon the king commanded the
bailiffs of Waynflet to arrest goods of the merchants of the count's dominion
to the value of 44l. aforesaid; but afterwards, during further negotiations
for a treaty of concord, it was agreed by the king's council, with the assent
of the said Christian, that certain debts due to the king's merchants
acknowledged by him before the council should be paid first of all, and that
the said Walter should go to the count because the aforesaid Christian,
although he confessed that Walter's goods had been stolen from him as
above stated, asserted that the goods were not of the alleged value; whereupon the king ordered the bailiffs aforesaid to stay execution of his order;
but afterwards, because the mayor and community of York certified the king
that although the said Walter had gone to the count and prayed for justice, the
count had not caused justice to be done to him; wherefore the king ordered
the said bailiffs of the Tollbooth to arrest goods of merchants of the count's
land to the above value; and they returned that they had arrested of the
goods of Peter de Seland fifty quarters of oats of the value of 70s. 10d.: the
king now orders them to sell the same and to deliver the money received
from such sale to the said Walter in part satisfaction, and to arrest other
goods to the value of the remainder of that sum. |

To queen Margaret. Order to deliver to Robert Mayel and Cicely his wife
a mill, 5 acres of land, and 2 acres of meadow in La Berton near
Gloucester, which, it appears by inquisition lately taken by John de Acton
and Robert de Bracy, were held at his death by Robert de la Berton in
demesne as of fee of king Henry III. by the service of 15s. yearly and doing
suit from three weeks to three weeks at the court of the Berton, by which
inquisition it was also found that Roger de la Berton his son and heir was
afterwards seised of the same at the time of his death, and that they came to
the hands of Henry III. by reason of the minority of Dionisia, sister and
heiress of the said Roger, and that the aforesaid Cicely is the daughter and
nearest heir of Dionisia, and that afterwards the king's father, not knowing
in what manner the premises had come to his hands, assigned them in dower
to his said queen; wherefore the present king ordered Roger de Wellesworth,
late escheator this side Trent, to take with him William de Harden, the said
queen's steward, and to make inquisition whether it would be to the
queen's damage if the king delivered seisin of the premises to Cicely; by
which inquisition it was found that it would not be to the queen's damage
if she delivered seisin of the above to Robert and Cicely to be held of her,
and that the premises were worth nothing beyond the services aforesaid. |

To Roger de Wellesworth, escheator this side Trent. Whereas it was
lately found by inquisition taken by him that John Goce was seised in his
demesne as of fee at his death of certain tenements in the manor of
Gillingham, and that he held them of the king in chief by the service
of keeping the demesne wood and park within the forest of Gillingham, and
that Amice wife of William de Buglegh, Elizabeth wife of John Clayce,
Alice wife of William Chonnesone, and Michaela wife of John de Rondes,
daughters of the said John Goce, are his nearest heirs and of full age, the
said William, John, William, and John, asserting that the tenements are
held by such sergeanty, had tendered homage to the king and prayed to
have the premises delivered to them and their wives; and because it was
shown before the king on behalf of queen Margaret, who holds the said
manor and forest for life by assignment of the late king, that the said
tenements are of the ancient demesne of the crown, and that they ought to
be held of her according to the custom of the manor, the king has delayed
delivering the tenements to the said heirs and caused the decision of the
matter to be adjourned from term to term until the last parliament, and he
commanded the queen to take the fealty of the said William, John, William,
and John and to make partition of their inheritance into four parts in their
presence, and to cause them to have seisin of their purparties and to deliver
to them the bailiwick aforesaid; the queen would not execute this order,
alleging a reason for not doing so that the king deems insufficient: as he
does not wish to weary the said heirs and parceners further, he commands
the escheator to make partition of the inheritance between them and to
deliver them seisin of their purparties. By C. |

To the sheriff of York. From the complaint of Henry Potemon, merchant of London, the king learns that whereas he went with three ships to
Friesland to buy fish and other merchandise there for the purpose of bringing
them to England and arrived in the port of Scudbalwe in Friesland, certain
men of that town and of Dockyng', Leworth, Westerland, Wycestre, Groning',
and Staveren (Stavre) entered his ships in hostile manner, and took and
carried away 110l. sterling and his goods found therein to the value of
40l.: by reason whereof the late king wrote to the bailiffs and men of
those towns requesting them to do justice to the said Henry, and the
present king, because they had not done so, wrote to W. count of Hainault,
Holland, and Zeeland and lord of Friesland, requesting him to cause justice
to be done to the said Henry, but he wrote back saying that the men of
Friesland were not of his dominion and were his enemies, so that injuries
committed by them ought not to be imputed to the count or his men;
because the king does not know that the men of Friesland have any superior
lord who could do justice to the said Henry, he orders the sheriff to arrest
goods of merchants of that land to the value of 75l., certifying the king of
his proceedings in this matter. The king has ordered the bailiffs of Yarmouth to arrest goods in like manner to the value of 24l. 2s. 8d. |
