allowing the master and brethren to be quit thereof towards the king, as the

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause Robert
de Hambury, chamberlain of North Wales, to have respite until the quinzaine of Hilary next for rendering his account at the exchequer for the
issues of his bailiwick, and to cause him to be released from any distraint
which they shall make upon him for that cause, because the king appointed
Ambrose de Novo Burgo and Stephen Blount to supervise the defects in the
castles of North Wales, and ordered Robert by divers writs to cause those
castles to be sufficiently provided with victuals by the view and testimony of
Ambrose and Stephen, and to pay wages from the issues of his bailiwick to
divers men-at-arms and foot soldiers, lately elected in those parts and now
about to set out in the king's service to Scotland, for the king's expedition

To John de Tiddeswell, the king's clerk. Because for the repulse of the
Scots who have invaded the realm the king has spent much money and
must spend more for the magnitude of his army which increases daily, so
that the king is in great need of money, and he requested certain abbots
and priors by special letters, sent by the said John, to be presented with all
possible speed, to pay without delay the tenth lately granted by them to the
king, which they would otherwise have paid to the king at certain terms, to
the collector of the said tenth, deputed in the diocese of Lincoln, trusting
the said John in those things which he should tell them in this respect on
the king's behalf; wherefore the king strictly orders John to visit the said
abbots and priors with all possible speed, to present the king's said letters to
them, and instantly require them to immediately pay their share of the
said tenth to the collector, to be sent by him with all possible speed to the
exchequer, and in order that the abbots and priors may be more easily
inclined to anticipate the time of this payment, the said John shall clearly
explain to them the king's want and also the grave dangers which may
probably happen if the king lacks money, warning them that if they fail the
king this time, contrary to the confidence which he reposes in them, they
will greatly provoke him against them. By K. and C. |

To the collector of the tenth granted by the clergy to the king, deputed
in the diocese of York. Order to travel with all possible diligence in asking
for and receiving the said tenth from the men of religion, giving them
letters of acquittance, and to transmit all the money so received to the
exchequer with all possible speed, so that the king may commend his diligence, and as he wishes to avoid the king's indignation, because the king
is in great need of money, by reason of his expenses through the magnitude
of his army, now crossing with him to Scotland, for the defence of the
realm, and of the king's other lands, which the Scots have seditiously presumed to invade, wherefore he has requested certain abbots and priors to
pay the tenth granted by them to the king without delay. By K. and C. |
