To the justices about to go in eyre in co. Kent. Order to admit Nicholas
son of John de Daggeworth to the office of proclamator (preconis)
marshal, usher and barrerar' in that eyre, and to allow him to receive
the appurtenances of that office, as the late king, on 12 June in the
19th year of his reign, took the homage of John de Daggeworth, knight,
kinsman and heir of Lora late the wife of William Pyforer, for the
third part of the office of usher at the exchequer, which the said Lora, his
grandmother, held of that king in chief at her death, and ordered it to be
delivered to him, and the said John had acquired another third part of that
bailiwick of Matilda de Daggeworth by the licence of Edward I. and the
remaining third of Hamo Peverel, by the licence of the late king as fully appears in the letters of the king's father and grandfather thereon; and by the
partition of the said serjeanty made in the exchequer of Edward I. between
the said Matilda, one of the sisters and co-heirs of Simon de Scaccario, the
said William and Lora, another sister and co-heir of Simon and John Peverel
and Beatrice, third sister and co-heir, which partition the king has caused to
come before him in chancery, it was found that Matilda, immediately after that
partition, as the eldest daughter, elected and substituted in her place, and in
that of her sisters, Philip de Cokefeld and John de Daggeworth, their
serjeants to carry the wand (virgam) in the eyres of Hereford and Lancaster, then proclaimed, in the name of Matilda, Lora and Beatrice, and to
perform the duties of that office; and by a certificate of the exchequer,
sent into chancery by the king's order, it is stated that Edward I. committed
to Philip de Cokefeld the office of proclamator, marshal, usher, and barrerar', which was in the hands of the said king by reason of the lands
of the said Simon, deceased, who held of him in chief by the service of
the said office, to hold during pleasure, and that king ordered Hugh de
Cressyngham and his fellows, then justices in eyre in co. Lancaster,
to admit the said Philip to that office in their eyre and in other eyres
where they should go, and to allow him to receive the issues of that
office, upon which order Philip was admitted to that office, as appears
by the same certificate, wherefore the king lately ordered the justices in
eyre in co. Northampton to admit the said John de Daggeworth to the
office of proclaimer, etc. in their eyre, and the said John was so admitted,
as Geoffrey le Scrop, then chief justice of that eyre, has testified before the
king; and afterwards on 28 May last it being found by inquisition taken by
William de Northo, escheator in cos. Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Middlesex,
that the said John, then deceased, held the serjeanty of the ushery of
the exchequer of the king in chief, and that the offices of the criers
(clamatorum) and usher in the common Bench and the office of the
marshal, usher, criers and barrerar' in all the eyres of justices in
England belong to that serjeanty by homage and fealty, receiving from
the king 5d. a day for every day that the exchequer is open, by the
hands of the chamberlain there, and the due and accustomed fees belonging to this serjeanty, and that John demised a moiety of the said office of
usher of the exchequer to Roger de Bedefeld and the other moiety to John
Dymmok, to hold for their lives, saving to the said John de Daggeworth
and his heirs the said 5d. daily to be received as aforesaid, and also retaining the said offices in the eyres of the justices, and a fourth part of the
office of usher and crier (clamatoris) in the said Bench, and that Nicholas
son of the said John de Daggeworth was his next heir and of full age,
the king took the homage of Nicholas for that serjeanty and ordered the
treasurer and barons of the exchequer to cause him to have full seisin
thereof, accepting security from him for his reasonable relief for that
serjeanty, saving the king's right and that of the aforesaid Roger and John
Dymmok. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause allowance
to be made to James le Botiller, earl of Ormound, in his ferm for the town
of Aylesbury, which he holds of the king at fee ferm, for 30l. paid by him
to Robert de Fienles by the king's order, as the late king, on 4 February in
the 6th year of his reign, granted to Robert, for his good service, 60l. yearly
from the ferm of that town, which Robert de Monte Alto and Emma his
wife held at fee ferm, as Emma's dower, to be received by the hands of the
said Robert and Emma and other lords of that town for the time being,
for life, in two instalments yearly, in aid of his maintenance in the late
king's service; and Robert received the said sum until the grant was revoked
by certain ordinances made in the time of the late king by the prelates, earls
and barons of the realm and accepted by the said king; and afterwards the
present king, on 26 January in the 4th year of his reign, committed to Robert,
in consideration of the said previous grant and of his good and laudable
service to Queen Isabella and to the king when they were in France, and
in coming with the king and his mother in pursuit of Hugh le Despenser and other rebels, the said yearly rent for life from the ferm of the
said town. |

To the same. A like order to cause allowance to be made to the sheriff
of Buckingham for 55 marks, which he has paid to the said Robert by
the king's order, as the late king committed to the said Robert 110 marks
yearly from the issues of that county, for life, or until he should make provision of 110 marks yearly of land or rent for him, which commission was
revoked in the same manner as the one previously recited and has been
re-granted by the king for the considerations aforesaid. |

in co. Lincoln, by the sheriff there, for the maintenance of the king and his
lieges in the North, to be sent there, and for doing other things contained in the
king's letters patent thereon, and the king ordered the sheriff to pay 2s. a day

for that purpose. |

To the sheriff of York. Whereas at the surrender of Berwick-uponTweed the men of that town were required to deliver twelve children of
the principal men of the town as hostages for their loyalty, and the said
men lately caused eight of these hostages to be delivered to the king at
Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and they have now sent the remaining four hostages
to York, to wit, Nicholas son of John Tod of Berwick, John son of John
Gros, Thomas son of John of the Bothe and Robert son of Thomas de
Nesbit of the same, and the king had ordered that sheriff to receive the said
four hostages and to cause them to be maintained from the issues of that
bailiwick until further orders, the king therefore orders the sheriff to cause
the said Nicholas and John to be safely taken to the abbey of Peterborough,
and the said Thomas and Robert to the abbey of Rameseye, and to cause
maintenance and other necessaries to be found for them until they reach the
said abbeys. By K. and C.

Caldecote near Baldok to have full seisin without delay of a messuage and
12 acres of land in Caldecote near Baldok which William le Kyng of Stanford held, who was outlawed for felony, and which were in the king's hand
for a year and a day, as the king has learned by inquisition taken by the
sheriff, that William held the said messuage and land of the parson of the
said church, and that John de Blomvill, escheator in that county, had the
year, day and waste thereof and ought to answer for them to the king. |

To the justices of the Bench. Order to proceed with a plea brought by
Isabella, late the wife of John Ughtred, in the king's court at York by writ
of right, against Nicholas de Hugate for the third part of a messuage in
York, and to do justice to the parties, but not to proceed to render judgment
without consulting the king, as Isabella has shown to the king that she
claimed the said third part as her dower, since the messuage belonged to
her husband, and afterwards at the prosecution of Nicholas asserting that he
held that messuage for life by the king's grant, with reversion at his death
to the king, and proffering the king's charter testifying to this, the king
ordered that suit to be brought before those justices on the morrow of
Ascension last, and in that suit Nicholas exhibited the said charter before
the justices in defence of his right, asserting that he ought not to answer to
anyone thereupon without the king, wherefore those justices stopped proceeding further with that plea, whereupon the said Isabella has besought the
king to provide a suitable remedy. By C. |

Barton, late keeper of the bishopric of Carlisle lately void and in the late
king's hand, to be discharged and acquitted at the exchequer of the
fruits and obventions of the churches of Penreth and Dalston appropriated
to that bishopric, which he had levied at the time when he had the custody
of the said bishopric, so that he may answer to William, archbishop of York,
for those fruits and obventions, as it was resolved in the late parliament at
Westminster that the keepers of archbishoprics, bishoprics, abbeys and
priories, which become void shall only intermeddle with the temporalities and
not with the appropriated churches, prebends or other spiritualities; and the
king afterwards learned that Robert had levied for the king's benefit the
said fruits and obventions, which ought to belong to the archbishop, as
keeper of the spiritualities of the said bishopric, and the king had ordered
the said Robert to cause the said fruits and obventions to be delivered to
the archbishop or to those to whom they ought to belong. |

be made to the burgesses of Gloucester for the money which they shall be
found to have paid by the king's order, of 100s. yearly, to Elias de Roff[a],
marshal of the king's horses and his heirs, to whom king Henry III. by his
letters patent, which the king has inspected, granted the said rent in the town
of Gloucester, to wit, 50s. from certain purprestures there and 50s. from the
ferm of that town, to have and receive from Henry III. and his heirs, and it
has now been shown to the king by the burgesses of that town in their
plaint that although they have paid the said rent to Elias and his heirs from
the time of the said grant, and had allowance therefor at the exchequer of
the king's progenitors, yet the said treasurer and barons now delay to make
allowance to them for the said rent, whereupon they have petitioned the
king to provide a remedy. |

To Gilbert de Ledred, escheator in cos. Lincoln, Northampton and

earl of Arundel was seised at his death, in his demesne as of fee in the

delay and to cause them to be delivered to Richard de Arundel son and
heir of the said Edmund, except the lands, fees and advowsons which the
earl held by the late king's grant; as lately at the prosecution of Richard,
by his petition before the king and his council in the late parliament at
Westminster, beseeching the king to render to him, as next heir of the said
earl, the lands which belonged to the earl and of which he died seised in his
demesne as of fee, on 14 December in the 4th year of his reign, in the said
parliament the king took Richard's homage for all the lands which the said
earl held at his death of the late king in chief and ordered William Trussel,
then escheator this side Trent, to seise all such lands into the king's hand
and deliver them to Richard or his attorneys, except the lands, fees and
advowsons which that earl held by the gift and grant of the late king, and
Richard has informed the king that certain lands and advowsons in the
island of Haxiholm, of which the earl died seised as aforesaid, are hitherto
detained from him, and he has besought the king to cause them to be
delivered to him. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause John de
Carleton to be discharged and acquitted of 20l. which he owed to the king
for the bailiwick in Holdernesse which Hugh le Lorymer lately held, from
29 January in the 5th year of the king's reign, which sum is exacted of him
by summons of the exchequer, provided that answer is made to the king by
Hugh for that sum for the said 5th year, as the king lately committed the
said bailiwick to John, to hold during good behaviour, and afterwards, on the
said 29 January, because Hugh found a certain security for faithfully performing the office of coroner and all other things touching that bailiwick
until Michaelmas following and for rendering the said 20l. to the king for
that bailiwick until that date, the king caused the commission to John to be
revoked and ordered John not to intermeddle further with that office and
bailiwick. |

on Thursday after St. Lucy the Virgin next, to take the place of Geoffrey
le Scrop as justice in eyre in co. Kent, so that the said eyre may not suffer
or be retarded by his absence, which would excite the king's displeasure
against him, as the king lately appointed Geoffrey with John le Cantebrigg,
Geoffrey de Edenham, John de Radenhale and John Claver, to be justices
in eyre in that county, and afterwards, because Geoffrey de Edenham could
not attend to this for certain reasons, the king appointed Thomas de Radeclif to be justice in his place, and now Geoffrey le Scrop is intending certain
other affairs of the king by his order, so that he cannot fulfil the said office,
and the king has therefore appointed John in his place. By K. & C. |

To Ralph de Nevill, keeper of the temporalities of the bishopric of
Durham, void and on the king's hands, or to him who supplies his place
there. Order to pay to William de Leicestr[ia], from the issues of those
temporalities, 6s. 8d. a day for his expenses from 16 October last, on which
day he started for those parts to fulfil the duties of the office of chancellor
of the liberty of that bishopric, so long as he shall intend that office, as the
king appointed William to that office and to hold the seal deputed for the
same during the voidance of that bishopric, to receive therein such fee as
other chancellors were wont to receive in time of a voidance, and the king
ordered the said keeper to pay this fee to William from the issues of that
bishopric while he should hold that office, and now the king has learned
from William that the keeper has hitherto refused to pay that fee to him
because it has not been ascertained what fee other chancellors there were
accustomed to receive in the time of a voidance, and by the certificate of the
treasurer and barons of the exchequer it is found that 6s. 8d. a day were
allowed to Robert de Sapy, late keeper of that bishopric, void and in the
hand of the late king, in his account at the exchequer for the temporalities
there, for the expenses of Adam de Brom, then deputed to the office of
chancellor within the liberty of that bishopric. By C. |

To Gilbert de Ledred, escheator in cos. Lincoln, Northampton and Rutland. Whereas the king had ordered him to show why he had taken the
town of Saxeby into the king's hand, the escheator showed that he had
not taken that town into the king's hand, but because he understood that
Robert de Henore and Thomas de Shirfeld held that town of the king in
chief by knight's service, and had not yet done homage and fealty to the
king, therefore he had distrained them for their said homage and fealty, and
afterwards at the prosecution of the said Robert and Thomas showing that
the said town was not held of the king, the king ordered the escheator to
take an inquisition thereupon, by which it was found that Robert and
Thomas hold that town of Richard de Grey, of Codenore, by the service of
a pair of gilt spurs; the king therefore orders the escheator not to intermeddle at present with the said town by reason of such homage and fealty,
and to release Robert and Thomas without delay from any distraint made
upon them for that cause. |

Stephen de Rokele and Katherine his wife brought against Thomas atte
Oldhalle and Agnes his wife for a third part of a messuage, 82 acres of land,
5½ acres of meadow, 4 acres of pasture, 31 acres of wood, 4 acres of alders
and 8s. rent in Great Reynes, as the dower of the said Katherine, which
pertains to her from the said lands which belonged to Robert Belet, formerly
her husband, but not to proceed to render judgment without consulting the
king, as Stephen and Katerine have shown to the king that whereas they
sought the said lands in the king's court, before those justices, the said
Thomas and Agnes in defence of their right asserted that they held the
tenements for life of the inheritance of John son and heir of John de Sancto
Philiberto, a minor in the king's wardship, rendering thence 10 marks
yearly, and that the said rent is in the king's hand by reason of the minority
of the heir, and they sought aid from the said John son of John, and asserted
that further progress should not be taken in that plea without consulting the
king, wherefore the justices delayed to proceed with that plea, whereupon
Stephen and Katerine have besought the king to provide a remedy. By C. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas Robert Lanney
of Maydeford, clerk, was lately indicted in the king's court before the
justices in eyre in co. Northampton of the theft of a horse and a mare of the
price of 20s., and afterwards purged his innocence before H. bishop of
Lincoln, ordinary of the place, to whom he was delivered by the justices
according to the privilege of the clergy, wherefore on 2 November in the
4th year of his reign the king ordered the sheriff of that county to restore
to Robert his lands, goods and chattels without delay [as in this Calendar,
4 Edward III. p. 70], and now the king has learned from Robert that the
sheriff delivered the said lands, goods and chattels to him, but that the
treasurer and barons cause 9s. 2d. yearly for the value of the said lands, at
which they were extended by the said justices, to be exacted yearly from
that sheriff from the said 2 November, by summons of the exchequer, wherefore that sheriff distrains Robert for that sum, the king therefore orders the
treasurer and barons to cause the sheriff to be discharged and acquitted of that
payment from the said 2 November, ordering him not to distrain Robert
therefore, if they find that the said 9s. 2d. has been exacted for the aforesaid
reason. |

To Robert Selyman, escheator in cos. Southampton, Wilts, Oxford,
Berks, Bedford and Buckingham. Order not to intermeddle further with a
moiety of the manor of Compton Chaumberleyn and with certain lands in
Dunton near Bikeleswade, restoring the issues to John Avenel, as the king
has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that Katherine late the
wife of John Avenel held in her demesne as of fee at her death, the said
moiety, except 33s. 4d. yearly rent there, of the king in chief by the service
of the tenth part of a knight's fee, and the said lands also in her demesne
as of fee of the king in chief, by the service of the tenth part of a knight's
fee, and that John, son of Ralph de Bokelond, formerly husband of the said
Katherine, is her next heir and aged four years, and by another inquisition also
taken by the escheator at the prosecution of John Avenel, beseeching the
king that the said moiety and lands should be delivered to him by reason of
his issue by Katherine, it is found that John married Katherine on Friday
before Michaelmas in the 6th year of the king's reign in the church of
St. Laurence, Dunton, near New Sarum, and that John had a daughter
named Mary by the said Katherine. |

To the justiciary, chancellor and treasurer of Ireland. Whereas the king
granted to Edmund de Grymmesby the custody of the rolls, writs and other
memoranda of the chancery of Ireland, to hold during pleasure, receiving
the usual fee in that office, the king wishing to ascertain what yearly fee
such a keeper ought and was wont to receive, and if that fee ought reasonably to suffice for the said keeper, orders the said justiciary, chancellor
and treasurer to inform him upon this without delay, and in the meantime the treasurer is to pay Edmund upon his expenses a certain sum of
money from the treasury by the advice of the council. By K. & C. |

To Robert Selyman, escheator in cos. Southampton, Wilts, Oxford,
Berks, Bedford and Buckingham. Order to cause a messuage and a carucate
of land called 'Shardelowes' in Agmondesham, which belonged to Simon de
Bereford, the king's enemy and rebel, which escheated to the king by Simon's
forfeiture to be resumed into the king's hand and delivered to William le Latymer, to whom on 16 February in the 5th year of his reign, the king committed
the said tenements, to hold for twelve years next following, rendering 100s.
yearly to the king thereon at the exchequer; and afterwards it was found
by inquisition taken by that escheator that Ralph de Wedon demised the
said tenements to Simon, for life, and that Ralph never made any charters,
releases or other deeds thereupon to Simon, and that Simon had no other
estate in those tenements except for life, the king therefore ordered the escheator
to cause those tenements to be resumed into his hand and delivered to Ralph,
so that he should answer for the issues thereof to the king at the exchequer,
if they ought to belong to the king, as is shown by inspection of the chancery
rolls; and now by an inquisition taken by Thomas Bacon, Michael de Wath
and John Cifyrwas, it is found that Hugh de la More lately gave the said
tenements to Adam de Shardelowe and Alice his wife by a fine levied in the
king's court to hold for their life with remainder to Ralph de Brok and his
heirs; and now by the tenor of a certain note of the fine levied between the
said Ralph de Brok and Simon before the justices of the Bench, in the
2nd year of the king's reign, it is found that Ralph de Brok granted the
reversion of those tenements to Simon and his heirs, and by the said inquisition taken by the said Thomas, Michael and John, it is likewise found that
Adam and Alice afterwards granted the said tenements to Ralph de Wedon,
for their life, and that Ralph de Wedon afterwards granted his estate in those
tenements to Simon by his deed, and so Simon held the said tenements for
himself and his heirs on the day when he forfeited to the king, wherefore
the said tenements ought to remain forfeit to the king. By C. |

To Richard de Wylughby and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas
before the king. Whereas the king lately pardoned several men for their good
service who had exposed their lives with the king in the war of Scotland,
the suit of the king's peace for certain felonies and trespasses committed by
them against the peace of the king and his father, of which they were indicted
or appealed, and also the outlawries, if any were promulgated against them
for this cause, and the king has learned that certain persons, falsely asserting that they have been with him in the said war when they have not been,
have made use of their letters of pardon contrary to the king's intention,
and intend to show them before the justices to obtain the acquittance for
such felonies, trespasses and outlawries, the king therefore orders the justices
to in no wise allow such pardon when such letters are exhibited before them,
until they have ascertained that those for whom such letters are exhibited
have actually been with the king in the said war, in his service according to
the tenor of the king's letters patent thereon. By p.s. |
