To the discreet men, podesta, captains, abbot of the people, anziani, and

whereas Yvanus Lucianus and his fellow citizens of that city charged a
great ship or cog (cocham) with divers precious things and oriental goods
to the value of more than 14,300 marks sterling, and went towards the
king's realm for the purpose of trafficking, bringing the late king's letters of
protection and safe conduct for entering the realm and trafficking there, so
that they should pay the customs due; and confiding in that protection they
came to the Downs (dunas) of Sandwich, Hugh le Despenser, who was then
upon the sea with the late king's ships, took that ship and plundered it—
the king will order amends to be made to them; the king has deliberated
with skilled persons upon the premises, and although in their judgment he
is not bound in mere law to such satisfaction, as nothing of that rapine came
to him or his father, yet in consideration of the amicable relations between
his progenitors and that city, which the king desires to increase, and having
compassion on the impoverishment of those men, if the said community
will consent by itself or a fit proctor that no further action shall be taken by
reason of that plundering for the said damages, he will cause 8,000 marks
sterling to be assigned in satisfaction of the said damages, to be paid or
allowed in the customs due to him on the merchandise brought into the
realm by the men of Genoa, to wit, so that the entire custom of all such
merchandise except wool, brought into or taken out of the realm, and a
moiety of the custom of wool, shall be allowed to the Genoese until the said
8,000 marks have been paid, to be paid by them to a certain person appointed
by that community, who is bound to pay the sums so allowed to the injured
persons, and if they shall grant such quittance the king wills that they shall
have such liberty in his realm that they may freely ply, traffic, sell and buy,
make profit with their ships and other vessels in any place of the realm as
often as they wish, paying the custom due, and if they ply in one place and
have not sold all or any of their merchandise, they may freely depart and go
where they will, and the king desires them to be treated with courtesy, and
he will cause the premises to be carried into effect when they shall have
signified their acceptance thereof. Et erat patens. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas Edward I. on
25 June in the 22nd year of his reign, pardoned John de Somersham the
suit of his peace for the death of Nicholas, John's brother, with which he

and granted his peace to John therefor, as appears by inspection of the
chancery rolls; and at the suit of Robert Togod of Sutton, William Godewyn,
Geoffrey Power, John Warynson and Alexander de Somersham, showing
that John de Somersham, long after that pardon, had granted to Ralph
Togod of Sutton and to John his son, father of the said Robert Togod
whose heir he is, 15 acres of land and a rood of pasture in Sutton, and to
William Godewyn, 8 acres of land, 4 acres of pasture, and an acre of marsh
in the same town; to Nicholas Power and Geoffrey Power, 15 acres of land
and 3½ acres of meadow in that town: to John Warynson father of the
said John Warynson, whose heir he is, 6½ acres of land and 1½ acres of
meadow in the same town, and to Alexander de Somersham 20 acres of
land in the same town, to hold for themselves and their heirs, and John
Togod, William Godewyn, Geoffrey, John Warynson the son, and Alexander,
now tenants of these tenements, because John de Somersham is erroneously
outlawed before John de Cantebrigg, and his fellows, late justices in eyre in
co. Bedford, for the said death, after the said pardon, and also because it
was presented before the justices that John de Somersham had on the day
of that felony a messuage, 60 acres of land, 2 acres of meadow, and 9d. rent
in the said town, with 29s. yearly, whereof the year and waste were taxed
at 66s. 4d. by the jurors of the said presentation, were distrained for the said
66s. 4d. and for 52l. 11d. of the issues of their tenements for the meantime,
and have besought the king to provide a remedy upon the annulling of the
said outlawry, the king ordered the treasurer and chamberlains to inspect
the rolls and memoranda of John in the said eyre, which are in the treasury,
and send the record and process of the outlawry to the king with all the
things touching it so that these being inspected, he might cause justice to
be done to the tenants, and now the tenants have besought the king that
as they are distrained for the said sums, he will be pleased to order that
demand to be superseded pending the discussion of the said affair; the king
therefore orders the treasurer and barons to supersede the said demand
until Easter next, so that suit may be taken concerning the annulling of the
outlawry. The king has also ordered the sheriff of Bedford to supersede
the said distraint. By C. |

To the justices of the Bench. Whereas it was resolved by the common
council of the realm that inquisitions and juries to be taken in a plea of
land, which are not of great examination, shall be taken in the country
before a justice of the place where the plea is moved, an honest man of the
country, a knight or other, being associated with him, so that a certain day
shall be given in the Bench and certain days and a place in the country in
the presence of the parties, and also that inquisitions and juries in a plea
of land requiring great examination shall be taken before two justices of
the Bench in the form aforesaid; and now the king has learned from the
plaint of Eudo son of Laurence and of Elizabeth his wife and Agatha,
Elizabeth's sister, John de Kelshull, Simon de Farnham and John Hamond,
and Agnes his wife, that the justices lately demanded by the king's writ of
nisi prius, in the country, at the procuration of John de Tumby of Boston,
a certain jury of twenty-four knights to be taken, which John de Tumby
arramed before them against the said Eudo, Elizabeth, Agatha, John de
Keleshull, Simon, John Hamond and Agnes, to convict the jurors of an
inquisition which was lately summoned and taken before them between
John de Tumby, demandant, and the said Eudo, etc., tenants concerning a
messuage in Boston, upon the surrender of a deed which John de Tumby
exhibited to exclude the said Eudo, etc., from their action, by John de
Stonore, one of the justices of the Bench, or by William de Shareshull,
likewise one of the justices of the Bench; the king, considering that such
juries are ordained for a final remedy in his cases, and that such juries
should be taken in as solemn a manner as possible and by knights and others
nearest the view and suspect to neither party, orders the justices to order
the supersession of the taking of the said jury by John de Stonore or
William, causing it to be taken by knights and others, suspect to neither
party, where and before whom it may be taken according to the law and
custom of the realm and the form of the said agreement and statute, having
viewed and examined the record and process held thereupon in the Bench
before them, if they ordered that jury to be taken by John de Stonore or
William in the country as aforesaid. By C. |

granted by the community of the realm in the 8th year of his reign, and
afterwards they granted of their free will 500 marks for hobelers in subvention of the expenses incurred by the king in the war of Scotland, the
treasurer and barons cause 110 marks for the said fifteenth and 50 marks for
the hobelers to be exacted from them for the use of Queen Philippa, for the
queen's gold, pretending that the mayor and community made fine with
the king by the said sums when they had not done so. By C. |
|
To the same. Order to supersede the demand made on the mayor and
community of Bristol for 22l. for the queen's gold, as the mayor and community have shown the king by their plaint that whereas they paid 220l.

of his reign, the treasurer and barons cause 22l. for the queen's gold
by reason of the said 220l. to be exacted from them, pretending that they
made fine with the king by the said sum for the tenth when they did not do
so, whereupon the mayor and community have besought the king to provide

upon the king's service, and if any one shall be found doing the contrary

find mainpernors to answer to the king for the trespasses of John de Bohun,
late earl of Hereford and Essex, in that forest, as the keeper returned that

forester, verderer, regardors and twelve free men dwelling within the forest,
associated with the said ministers, that John wasted and altogether destroyed
his wood called 'le Heghwode' in the town of Writele to the harm of the

steward, sold 100 oaks in the cover of Hatfeld when the earl was in
Scotland, and that Walter had four hearths for charcoal (astra ad carbones)
in the said cover, to the destruction of the forest and the detriment and
escape of the king's beasts from his refuges (receptamentis), and now the king
has been besought by the present earl to cause the said woods to be replevied to
him, as he now holds the manors of Writele and Hatfeld, co. Essex, by reason
of the late king's grant, as Henry, the king's progenitor gave those manors
to Isabella de Bruys and granted that she and her heirs should be for ever
quit of waste of the forest, assart, guard and reguard in all the woods of
those manors, and that they should take sec and vert where they wished
in the said woods without view and livery of the king's foresters, and that
the wood should be in her own custody, and the late king granted, among
other things which he granted to Humphrey de Bohun, late earl of Hereford
and Essex and constable of England, and Elizabeth his wife, the late king's
sister, and the heirs of their bodies, the said manors to hold as Robert de
Bruis, late earl of Carryk, the late king's enemy and rebel, held them
