Order not to intermeddle further with John de Fastolf's manor of Suth Walsham, and to restore the issues thereof to him and to Margery, late the wife of Henry Cach, the escheator having returned that he took the manor into the king's hands because it was held in chief, and John and Margery had acquired it and entered it without the king's licence, and the king afterwards—at the prosecution of John in chancery, suggesting that he and his ancestors had held the manor from time out of mind of the heirs of John de Botetourt and his ancestors, and not of the king—appointed Walter de Norwico, John de Mutford, and John de Redenhale, or two of them, to make an inquisition concerning the premises in co. Norfolk in the escheator's presence, and it is found by the inquisition taken by the said John and John that the manor is held of Thomas Bardolf, Roger de Kerdeston, and the heirs aforesaid, and not of the king in chief, by certain yearly services, and that the said John de Fastolf and Margery held it of the said Thomas and Roger and the heirs aforesaid, and of their ancestors from the time aforesaid.

Order to pay to the prior of Drax the arrears of 3s. of rent yearly from the time when Adam received the custody of the manor aforesaid, and to pay him the same yearly henceforth, as the king learns by inquisition taken by William Basset and Thomas de Eyvyll in Adam's presence that Richard de Berlay, late lord of the manor, held certain lands therein of the prior of Drax by the service of 3s. of yearly rent, and that the prior was seised of the rent by the hands of Richard as his very tenant, and that the prior's predecessors were seised thereof by the hands of other lords of the manor, as of the right of their church, from time out of mind until the manor was taken into the king's hands by the forfeiture of Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, to whom Richard had granted the reversion of the manor.
Oct. 16. Sheen.	To Geoffrey le Scrop and his fellows, justices to hear pleas before the king. Whereas it has been shewn to the king on behalf of John son of Hugh de Tyldesle and Robert and Henry, his brothers, that although they are staying in the king's service in Gascony, it is so far proceeded against them, because they have not appeared before the king in his court to answer for certain trespasses and felonies whereof they are impleaded in the same court, that the sheriff of Lancaster is ordered by writ of judgment to exact them in his county [court] to outlaw them; wherefore the king ordered Robert de Wodehous, keeper of his wardrobe, to search the rolls of the names of those who had gone to Gascony in the king's service, which rolls are in the wardrobe in his custody, and to certify the king if the names of John, Robert, and Henry are found in the same roll, and it appears by his certificate that John, Robert, and Henry have gone thither in the king's service: the king therefore orders the justices, if John, Robert, and Henry are put in exigent before the king for the reason aforesaid, to conduct themselves so in making execution thereof against John, Robert, and Henry, that no damage or annoyance shall happen to them whilst thus staying in the king's service.
Oct. 12. Westminster.	To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer.

Oct. 14. Sheen.	To the same. Order to allow to the prior and convent of St. Oswald, Nostel, in the diocese of York, 10 marks in the debts due to the exchequer from them, being the remainder of 50 marks that the king received from them as a loan by the hands of William de Melton, archbishop of York, which sum William paid to Master John de Weston, then chamberlain of Scotland, by the king's order, the king promising to make full payment of the loan in the next payments due to him from the prior and convent, as contained in his letters patent, and the king now learns from the prior and convent's complaint that allowance for the said 10 marks has not yet been made to them, although the treasurer and barons caused 40 marks of the said 50 marks to be allowed to them in the payment of a tenth of the clergy granted to the king by pope John XXII., in the 11th year of his reign; wherefore the prior and convent have besought the king to provide a remedy.
Oct. 24. Cippenham.	To William de Weston, escheator in cos. Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Middlesex, and in the city of London. Whereas upon its being found by an inquisition taken by the escheator after the death of Aymer de Valencia, late earl of Pembroke, that Aymer held on the day of his death at Hacch in Dertford 70 acres of land, a plot of land not built upon called 'Castel,' and 2 acres of land there, and 53s. 4d. of rent in Tyndale by demise from John Merlyn for the term of John's life, the king ordered the escheator to deliver the land, plot, and rent, if he had taken them into the king's hand solely by reason of Aymer's death, to the executors of Aymer's will, together with the issues thereof, and the escheator returned that he had finally accounted at the exchequer for the issues of the lands aforesaid from 23 June, in the 17th year of the king's reign, on which Aymer died, until Michaelmas next following, and that he had fully satisfied the king for the issues for that time, and that he is now accounting for the issues from Michaelmas aforesaid until Michaelmas last, and he is prepared to deliver the issues for that time to the executors if the king's order be remitted to him: the king orders him to deliver to the executors the tenements aforesaid together with the issues thereof from Michaelmas, in the 18th year of his reign, until Michaelmas following. The king has ordered the treasurer and barons of the exchequer and the chamberlains to inspect the escheator's account of the issues received from the day of Aymer's death until Michaelmas following, and if they find that the escheator has satisfied the king at the said feast for the said issues, to cause them to be restored to the executors.

Oct. 28. Cippenham.	To William de Weston, escheator in cos. Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Middlesex, and in the city of London. Whereas the king lately ordered the escheator to certify him of the reason why he took into the king's hands 116 acres of land and 26 acres of pasture in Sutton-atte-Hone belonging to the prior of St. John of Jerusalem in England, and the escheator has returned that, of the tenements aforesaid, he took into the king's hands 42 acres of land and pasture in the said town that belonged to Thomas atte Grove, because he found by inquisition that the prior, by brother Robert Namitel, appropriated them to him and his house without the king's licence; and the king afterwards,—upon learning from the prior that he entered the said 42 acres after the death of Alice Dale, who held them of him, as his escheat, as was lawful, because Alice was a bastard and died without an heir of her body, and that he held them thus and in no other way until they were taken into the king's hands,—appointed Henry de Cobeham, William de Cotes, and Stephen de Delham to make inquisition concerning the premises in the escheator's presence, and it is found by their inquisition that one William de Dale, a bastard, and the said Alice his sister, a bastard, acquired, in the first year of the king's reign, a messuage and the aforesaid 42 acres from one Nicholas de Wylebegh, who held them of brother William de Tothale, sometime prior of the hospital aforesaid, and of his successors by the service of 25s. yearly and by doing suit at his court at Sutton-atte-Hone from three weeks to three weeks, and that the prior and his predecessors were always seised of the aforesaid services by the hands of the tenants of the said tenements, and that Nicholas gave the said messuage and land to the aforesaid William de Dale and Alice, who were bastards, to have to them and their heirs of the prior, and that William died in Alice's lifetime, and that Alice died a bastard seised thereof by joint feoffment in her demesne as of fee without an heir of her body, after whose death the aforesaid late prior seised the tenements as his escheat, and has held them from then until now without any acquisition, art, or contrivance; the king therefore orders the escheator to amove his hand from the said messuage and 42 acres, and not to intermeddle further with them, restoring the issues thereof to the prior.
