Asshelond, Meriet, Hentonescraft, and Hentone St. George, co. Somerset,

king's order to the said John to make his proffer there in person, and not
to compel John to account for the issues of his bailiwick before Easter next,

that in every voidance of that abbey from whatever cause, the prior and
convent should have the custody thereof and of its temporalities, with all
the goods belonging thereto, with full administration and power to dispose
thereof and ordain as they should think fit, saving to the crown the knight's
fees and advowsons during a voidance, rendering to the king therefor, in
each voidance, 1000 marks for a year, and pro rata for a shorter time, or
for any time beyond a year, if there should be a voidance for such time, so
that no sheriff, escheator or any bailiff or minister of the king should intermeddle with the custody of the abbey or its possessions by reason of a
voidance, except that the escheator or other royal minister for the time
being, should take a simple seisin of that abbey at the beginning of each
voidance, in the name of the king's royal lordship, and that done, should
immediately depart thence without taking anything away, so that he should
not remain there for more than one day by reason of that seisin, nor
should substitute any one in his place, and the king also granted that if by
chance he or his heirs should cause an army to be summoned during a
voidance of that abbey, the said prior and convent should not be bound to
make any service in that army for their own knight's fees or the knight's
fees of that abbey then in their hands nor be molested of that service,
saving only to the king the services of the knight's fees which are held of
that abbey and which belong to the king in times of a voidance. |

Payn de Tibetot, tenant-in-chief of the late king, to have full seisin of
all the lands of which his father was seised at his death, in his demesne as of

To William de Monte Acuto and Henry de Ferrariis, keepers of the
islands of Gernereye, Jereseye, Seerk and Aureneye, or to him who
supplies their place. Whereas the late king sought, before Henry Spignel
and his fellows, justices late in eyre in these islands, against Thomas de
Estfeld and Alice his wife, a part of the lands in the island of Gernereye
which belonged to Master William de Sancto Remigio, and against Dennis le
Marchaunt and Petronilla his wife, another part of those lands in the same
island, and against John le Moigne another part of those lands in the same
island, and against Ralph le Moigne another part of those lands in the
same island, which lands the said William held of Edward I. by certain
services, and which ought to revert to the late king as his escheats, because
William committed felony, for which he abjured those islands, and the said
tenants came and said that William died seised of those tenements in his
demesne as of fee, after whose death they entered them as his kinsmen and
heirs, and so held them, and that after William had abjured those islands,
Edward I. pardoned him the said abjuration, and restored his lands, goods
and chattels to him, and the same tenants said that in the time of the war
in those islands the said letters of pardon were burned by enemies, wherefore they appealed to the chancery rolls of Edward I. for warranty, and
because these showed nothing special to have been done before the justices
in the way of pardon, the said lands were taken into the hands of the late
king, as was found by the record of the said justices, which the late king
caused to come before him in chancery; and by inspection of the chancery
rolls of Edward I. it appears that that king on 14 July in the 22nd year of
his reign pardoned William the said abjuration of those islands and other
islands pertaining thereto, which he made in the presence of Thomas de
Sandewico, sometime inquisitor in those islands, for divers trespasses made
by him, as was said, and that king granted his firm peace to him therefor,
and ordered Henry de Cobeham, then keeper of those islands, to deliver to
William without delay all the lands which belonged to him and which were
taken into the king's hands for the aforesaid cause, together with the issues
thereof; and although the said abjuration was made for felony and the said
pardon mentioned that it was made for trespasses and not for felony, by
which the pardon seemed to be insufficient, the late king granted that notwithstanding such defect the said Thomas de Estfeld, Alice, Denys,
Petronilla, John and Ralph should have those lands in the same manner as
they had been held before they were taken into the king's hands, and that
the said pardon should hold good as if it had made mention that the abjuration was made for felony, chiefly because an abjuration of those islands
ought not and was not wont to be made except for felony, as the late
king was informed; and the said Thomas and Denys had no estate in
those lands except as the husbands of Alice and Petronilla, and Ralph is
now deceased, as the king has learned, and the said Alice and Petronilla,
and John and John son and heir of the said Ralph, by their petition before
the king and his council have besought the king to order certain lands, etc.,
which the said William held, to be restored to them, as all the said lands
had been delivered to them by Otto de Grandissono, then keeper of those
islands, by virtue of an order of the late king directing him to do so, except
the fee of St. Elena, and a close of St. Andrew and 36s. tournois in the
parish of St. Andrew, proceeding from a certain fee called the fee 'Maumark'
in the island of Gernereye, which the said William held in his demesne as
of fee at his death, together with the other lands aforesaid; and because it
is found by inquisition taken before Robert de Scardeburgh and his fellows,
justices late in eyre in those islands, that the said William so died seised of
the said fee, close, etc., which are parcel of the lands recovered before Henry
Spignell and his said fellows, and which were taken into the king's hands
by reason of William's felony, and Walter de Weston, supplying the place
of the keeper of the island of Gernereye, found that he had nothing in his
custody by which the king's right to the said fee, etc., could be maintained,
the king therefore orders the said keepers to cause the said fee, etc., to be
delivered to Alice, Petronilla, John and John according to the terms of the
late king's letters patent. By pet. of C. |

meadow, and 25s. yearly rent in Ketleston, Little Snoryng and Dounton,
restoring the issues thereof to her, because the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that Thomas and Beatrice held the said tenements and rent jointly at Thomas's death by a fine levied in the court of
the late king by his licence, and that the said messuages, tofts, mill, land
and rent are held of the king in chief by the service of paying 3s. 6d.
yearly at Norwich castle for every service, and that 50 acres of that land
in Dounton are held of the king as parcel of the manor of Dounton, which
is held of the king by the service of keeping a falcon of the king at his
expense. |

messuage, 24 acres of land, and an acre of meadow in Ketleston, restoring

his death, for life, by a fine levied in the king's court, by the gift of John
de Doughton, with remainder to John son of the said Thomas and the heirs
of his body at the death of Thomas, and that the said tenements are held
of the king in chief by the service of paying 6d. yearly at Norwich
castle for every service, and that Thomas held no other lands of the king
in chief, at his death, by reason whereof the custody of his lands ought to
pertain to the king, who has taken the fealty of John son of the said

to intermeddle further with 8 acres of meadow in Duresleye, restoring the
issues thereof to John de Berkeleye of Duresleye, kinsman and heir of
Henry de Berkeleye, as the escheator returned that he had found by inquisition of office that Henry de Berkeleye, who held the manor of
Duresleye of the late king in chief, gave and granted the said meadow
to Ralph de Camme and Henry his son, for life, without obtaining the late
king's licence, wherefore that meadow was taken into the king's hand;
and afterwards at the prosecution of the said John, beseeching the king
to cause that meadow to be delivered to him, as the said Henry de
Berkeley and Ralph and Henry his son were deceased, wherefore that
meadow ought to revert to John as kinsman and heir of Henry de
Berkeley, by hereditary right, the king ordered the escheator to take an
inquisition on the matter, by which it was found that Henry de Berkeleye
gave and granted to Ralph de Camme and to Henry his son the said
meadow, as parcel of the manor of Duresleye, which the said Henry held
of the late king in chief as of fee by the service of a knight's fee, without obtaining the said king's licence, wherefore it was taken into the king's

To the collectors, etc., in the port of London. Whereas the merchants
of the realm, on account of great and arduous affairs of the king for the
defence of the kingdom against the Scots and for other necessary things,
lately granted the king 10s. on every sack of wool and on every 300 woolfells to be taken out of the kingdom, and 20s. on each last of hides also to be
taken out of the kingdom, to be received by merchants, both denizen and
alien, beyond the ancient customs from 14 May in the 7th year of the king's
reign for the year next following, wherefore the king ordered the collectors
to levy the said custom from the merchants and to answer for it at the
exchequer, and afterwards, on account of certain causes which happened in
that affair to the king's harm, the king ordered the collectors to levy the
said custom and answer for it as aforesaid, and now at the request of the
community of the realm in the present parliament at Westminster showing
that the levying of this money is very harmful to the people of the kingdom,
the king ordered the collectors to supersede the levying of this custom, and
from the plaint of John de Pulteneye, mayor of London, the king has
learned that whereas John caused a certain ship to be loaded with 58 sacks
and 22 cloves of wool, after the said 7th year, in the said port, to be taken
thence to parts beyond, and having paid the ancient custom due thereupon,
the continuation of the said increment not then having been proclaimed in
that port, the collectors exacted the increment from John for that wool and
distrained him for it, the king therefore orders the collectors that if this is
so, they shall supersede the demand which they have made on John for the
increment of the said wool and cause John to be released from any distraint
made for that cause. By C. |

impeded for a great time after the death of the earl from obtaining her dower,
because the king's ministers in Ireland were not able to take inquisitions
on the extents of the lands which belonged to the earl at his death, by
reason of the wars in these parts, and during the whole of that time the
king received all the issues of those lands, to be pleased to remit and pardon
her for the said sum, which she owed to the king for the time when she
had the custody, by the king's commission, of the manor of Northfanbrig, co.
Essex, and of certain lands in Shire, co. Surrey, of the manor of Whaddon,
co. Buckingham, and of 10l. 0s. 9¾d. rent in Burton near Aylesbury in the
same county, which belonged to the earl at his death, and which were in
the king's hand by reason of the minority of the earl's heir, according to
their extents, which are extended at 72l. 4s. 8½d., rendered yearly at the
exchequer, and the king has pardoned the countess for the said sum of

of the society of the Peruzzi, charging the said merchants therewith, if they
ought so to be charged, and if the said sum is found to have been paid, upon
view of the king's writ and of the indenture of receipt, as the king ordered
the said John and Thomas, by writ of privy seal, to pay 1,000 marks from
the issues of the said temporalities to the merchants of that society, to do
therewith what the king had ordered them to do, by virtue of which order
John and Thomas have paid 50l. of the said 1,000 marks to John Baroncelli

on each sack of wool and on every 300 wool-fells and of 20s. on each last of
hides, beyond the ancient custom, permitting all merchants, both alien and
denizen, to cross freely to parts beyond with their wool, wool-fells and hides,
after having paid the custom due, as the parliament at Westminster has
shown that the people of the kingdom are much damaged by the said custom,
although the merchants of the kingdom had granted the said new custom to
the king on account of great and arduous affairs in the defence of the realm
against the Scots and other necessary causes, which custom the king had
ordered the collectors to levy. By K. and C. |
