the king owes him the said sums for the time when he and his brother were
appointed to set out in the king's service, to Almain with Eleanor, the

Lymeneston, restoring the issues thereof, retaining in the king's hands until
further orders the manor of Wodebyry, except a yearly rent of 13 marks

(to whom William de Aumarle, by the king's licence, gave the manors of

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. It has been shown to the
king by the men of co. Wilts, that although 80 hobelers, whom the king
ordered to be chosen in that county, except the city of Salisbury, for his
service in Scotland, have set out in that service and remained in the same
until they returned home by the king's licence, yet the treasurer and
barons—upon the pretext of a grant of 120l., which certain men of that
county, being ignorant of the said setting out, made to the king for the
discharge of the hobelers and in subvention of the costs and expenses incurred by the king in the Scotch war, which grant is contained in the
extracts of the chancery rolls delivered at the exchequer—cause the said
120l. to be exacted from the said men as if the hobelers had not set out,
wherefore they have besought the king to provide a remedy; and because
Richard de Feriby, keeper of the king's wardrobe, has certified the king in
chancery that 80 hobelers of that county came to Newcastle-upon-Tyne in
the last Scotch war, being sent by the men of that county at the king's
order, received the king's wages, and remained in that war from the month
of June last until they returned home by the king's licence, the king orders
the treasurer and barons to cause the exaction of the said 120l. to be superseded, and to discharge those men of that sum towards the king, and if anything thereof has been levied of them by the sheriff of the county, to cause
it to be restored to them. |
March 20.
Westminster. |
To the same. A like order, 'mutatis mutandis,' to cause the exaction of

set out thence in his service. |

Walsingham. |
To the same. Whereas the king at divers times ordered William de la
Pole to cause to be ground without delay the corn which he had purveyed
for the king's use, so that the flour thereof might be ready to be sent to the
king, and that he should give satisfaction (gratum faceret) for the king to
certain men of the wapentake of Herthull, co. York, from whom the king
caused 100 quarters of wheat to be taken, and to certain other men of the
East Riding in that county from whom corn to no small value was taken by
Master John de Barton and Richard Fitz Dieu, by the king's order, for his
benefit; and by virtue of these orders William paid divers sums of money
to the said men, and he incurred divers expenses in the said grinding, for
which he had not hitherto been satisfied, as he says: the king therefore
orders the treasurer and barons, if they find that this is so, to cause William
to have due allowance in his account for the sums which he has so paid and
for the expenses which he incurred. By K. |

Walsingham. |
To the sheriff of York. Order to cause a verderer for the forest of
Spaunton, between the waters of Donne and Syvena, to be elected, in place
of John de Butterwyk, who is too weak and insufficiently qualified; as the
king granted by charter to the abbot and convent of St. Mary's, York, that
they and their successors should keep the forest of Spaunton, by their own
verderers, foresters and other ministers, and should do, exercise and pursue
attachments and all other things pertaining to the custody of the forest, in
the same, and as often as a verderer of that forest should die or chance to be
insufficiently qualified, the abbot should have writs in chancery, directed to
the sheriff of York, to elect another verderer in place of the one deceased or
disqualified. |
Feb. 6.
Knaresborough. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause John de
Wroxhale, formerly sheriff of Dorset, to be discharged and acquitted of the
goods and chattels of John Belet, clerk, if they shall find that he delivered
them to John by virtue of the king's order; as the king ordered him
to deliver to John his lands, goods and chattels, at the suit of John
Belet and the showing of R. bishop of Salisbury, stating that John Belet
had purged his innocence before the bishop, to whom he had been delivered
to be punished according to the privilege of the clergy, for the crime of
felony of which be was convicted before Robert Fitz Payn and his fellows,
justices of oyer and terminer in co. Dorset; and although the sheriff
delivered the lands, goods and chattels to John Belet according to the terms
of the king's said writ, yet the treasurer and barons unjustly caused the
sheriff to be charged to pay the said goods and chattels to the king at the
exchequer, whereupon the sheriff has besought the king to cause him to be
discharged thereof; and the king ordered Robert to send the record and
process, held thereupon before him and his fellows, to the king in chancery,
and the king's writ, and it is established by the record and process that
John Belet did not withdraw himself or flee by reason of the said felony. |

To the sheriff of Stafford. Order to cause John de Eyton-super-Wildemor,
of co. Salop, to have seisin of the manor of Crassewall, which Thomas son of
Henry de Crassewall held, who was outlawed for felony, because the king
has learned by inquisition taken by the sheriff, that the manor has been in
the king's hands for a year and a day, and that Thomas held it of John, and
that Thomas de Swynnerton now holds the manor by the king's grant, and
had the year, day and waste thereof, and ought to answer for them to
the king. |

To Geoffrey le Scrop and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas
before the king. Edmund de Bereford, the king's clerk, has besought the
king to order judgment to be rendered in the following affair; as lately at
the suit of Edmund, by his petition before the king and his council in parliament at Westminster, asserting that William de Bereford, Edmund's
father, whose heir he is, gave by his charter the manor of Stapelford, co.
Leicester, to Simon de Bereford and the heirs of his body; and the manor
is in the king's hands by Simon's forfeiture, who died without heirs of his
body, and it ought to revert to Edmund, who besought the king to order
justice to be done to him in the premises, and the king sent the petition
before the justices, enclosed in a certain writ, ordering them to inspect that
petition and further to do what they should consider just; and afterwards
the process in the said affair being made before the king, and it being
found by a jury of the country that William, who was seised in his
demesne of fee and of right, of certain lands in Stapelford, now called the
manor of Stapelford, gave those tenements to Simon to hold in the form
aforesaid by the service of 100s. yearly, that Simon, who was seised of those
tenements by virtue of this gift, died without an heir of his body, that the
tenements were taken into the king's hand by Simon's forfeiture, and that
Edmund is William's next heir; and although Edmund several times
requested the justices to proceed to render judgment in this respect
according to the force and effect of the said petition and jury, yet the
justices have hitherto delayed to proceed to render that judgment; the king
therefore orders them that, if they find that the matter has proceeded as
aforesaid, after inspecting and examining the petition and its endorsement,
and the record and process afterwards held before the king in the same
affair, then to proceed to render judgment thereon with all possible speed,
notwithstanding that the tenements are in the king's hands. By C. |

Whereas the king lately appointed Roger de Gildesburgh and James de

more in all the ports and places from the port of Faversham towards the
North, and to cause those ships to be prepared for war and provided with
things necessary, and to choose men-at-arms and others for manning those
ships and to cause the men to be placed in the ships to set out upon the sea
in the king's service; and the king caused 60s. to be delivered to James
upon his wages, and he has besought the king to order account to be
made with him upon the premises, and to cause what is in arrears to him
for his wages beyond the said 60s. to be paid to him: the king therefore
orders the treasurer, barons and chamberlains to make such account with
James, allowing him 3s. 4d. a day from 30 July last to 8 September following, when he was in the said service, and to cause allowance for his wages
to be made in the 60s., and to cause what is owing beyond the 60s. to be

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause to be
delivered and restored to John Dryng of Driffeld, his goods and chattels,
which were taken into the king's hands and appraised at a certain sum, for
paying that price at the exchequer, in accordance with his request, as he
was lately indicted of the death of Thomas Salvayn before Geoffrey le
Scrop and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas before the king, and
afterwards John purged his innocence before W. archbishop of York, the
diocesan, and his lands, which were taken unto the king's hands for that
cause, were restored to him, but his goods and chattels are detained in the
king's hands as forfeit, because of the flight that he made by reason of the
said death. By K. |
Feb. 14.

cause those 100 tuns of wine which the king caused to be bought from

to the keeper of the king's victuals there by indenture, and the king would
cause William to have due payment for the costs of that carriage and for
the price of the wines according to the agreement made with him, and by
reason of that order William sent 100 tuns of wine to the said place, and
incurred divers costs in the carriage thereof, for which expenses he has not
hitherto been satisfied, as he says; the king orders the treasurer and
barons, if they find this to be so, to cause 4l. to be allowed to William for
every tun of the said wine, and his reasonable expenses for the carriage of
the same, in his account. By K. |
