Auckland. |
To the sheriff of Somerset. Order to cause the men of Welles to have
respite until the quinzaine of the Purification next for 18 marks which are
exacted of them, and to release them from any distraint made upon them,
in the meantime, as the said men have besought the king to order the exaction of 18 marks from them to be superseded, as although the hobelers
whom the king ordered to be chosen in that city for his service in Scotland,
have set out in the said service, yet the sheriff causes to be exacted from
them by divers distraints the said 18 marks, which certain men of that city,
not knowing that the hobelers had set out, granted for the discharge of
those hobelers; and because Richard de Feriby, the king's clerk, keeper
of the wardrobe, has certified to the king in chancery that ten hobelers of
that city took part in the last war of Scotland from the beginning until the
king's arrival at Colbrondespath, where being licensed by the king they
returned home, and the rolls of chancery, by which it may be ascertained if several hobelers were chosen in that city for the king's service, are
not now with the king, the king has given those men the said respite, so
that in the meantime, the rolls being inspected and the truth known, justice
may be done in this respect. By C. |

Newcastle-on-Tyne. |
Stephen de Lughteburgh, yeoman of the king's kitchen, is sent to the
prior and convent of Cokesford, to receive such maintenance for life as
William le Alenimmer had in that house while he lived at the late king's
request. By p.s. [9391.] |
Dec. 26.
Newcastle-on-Tyne. |
To the justices of the Bench. R. bishop of Durham has besought the
king—whereas the king's writ is pending before those justices between the
king and the bishop concerning whether the bishop shall permit the king to
present a fit person to the church of Symondburn, and the bishop asserts
that he holds the church for his own uses by charter of the king's progenitors and by papal bulls, and ought to hold it so of right—that the king will
continue that plea, begun before the justices, until a certain time, so that
the right of the king and of the bishop being fully examined before the
council in the meantime, the king may be informed thereof and do what is
right in this matter; the king therefore orders the justices to continue that
plea in the same state in which it now is until the octaves of the Purification next, so that the king being informed in the meantime as aforesaid,
may cause justice to be done in the premises. By K. and C. |
Dec. 29.
Newcastle-on-Tyne. |
To the abbot and convent of Battle. Whereas the king lately sent to
them William de Lughteburgh to receive maintenance in that house for
life, and William died before he had received such maintenance, the king
sends to them his yeoman, Adam Sauvage, for his good service, to be
admitted to that house and to receive fit maintenance there for life. |

Newcastle-on-Tyne. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause John,
duke of Britanny and earl of Richemund, to have respite until the quinzaine
of Michaelmas next for the reliefs, and other debts which are exacted of him. |
Dec. 28.
Newcastle-on-Tyne. |
To the sheriff of York. Whereas the king's courts where the affairs of
the realm are transacted, are and always have been free and exempt, that
no things concerning the ecclesiastical court (forum) ought to be done or
pursued in them, and no one ought to enter them for such a purpose, and
Master Henry de Harewedon, clerk, Edmund de Leukenore and John de
Wendlyngburgh (because Henry ought to have notified certain bulls in
chancery, then at the abbey of St. Mary's, York, to Master John de Thoresby,
clerk; Edmund ought to have summoned John de Thoresby to obey the
said letters and to be in the Roman court on a certain day still to come,
to answer thereupon, and John de Wendlyngburgh, ought to have made
instruments upon the premises) were lately impeached in the king's court
before the chancellor and others of the council at York, and by an inquisition
of the country upon which they placed themselves, they were afterwards
convicted, and were imprisoned at York castle by the judgment of the said
court to stay there at will, as the king has learned; and now divers magnates
of the realm and elsewhere have requested the king to deliver Henry, Edmund
and John from prison; the king therefore orders the sheriff so to release
them if they shall find mainpernors who will undertake to have them before
the king and his council at the next parliament, to do and receive upon the
premises what shall there be ordained by the king and his council. By K. |
Dec. 28.
Newcastle-on-Tyne. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to receive Walter
de Tuy and John Anlaghby as the attorneys of Richard de Feryby, keeper
of the wardrobe, late controller of the king's household, as he is attendant
upon divers affairs touching his office at York, so that he cannot come to
the exchequer to witness the account which Robert de Tanton, late keeper
of the wardrobe, was bound to render for his time and which William de
Northwell, the king's clerk, undertook to render at the exchequer. |
Dec. 26.
Newcastle-on-Tyne. |
To the same. Order to cause Oliver de Ingham, seneschal of Gascony,
who is staying there in the king's service in his office, to have respite until
Midsummer next for all the debts which he owes to the king at the exchequer, and for all the accounts which he ought to render there, unless the
king orders otherwise. By K. |
