demand made by summons of the exchequer upon Henry, bishop of
Lincoln, for the extent of the lands that belonged to Thomas de Veer, the
custody whereof the king committed to him, as it was afterwards found by
inquisition taken by Simon de Bereford, late escheator this side Trent, that
the said Thomas at his death held no lands of the king in chief by reason
whereof the custody of his lands ought to pertain to the king, and the king
thereupon ordered the said escheator not to intermeddle further with the

when Thomas Wake's mills of Depyng' were taken into the king's hands,

long as they shall remain in the king's hands, as the king learns by inquisition taken by Simon de Bereford, late escheator this side Trent, that John
Wake, sometime lord of the manor of Depyng', granted to Philip de
Merston, in 19 Edward I., 4 marks of rent to him and his heirs from the
mills of Depyng', or until he should be provided by John or his heirs with

To the justices of the Bench. Whereas at the prosecution of John son
of Roger de Insula—suggesting that he had impleaded Gauwyn Corder
before the justices in eyre in co. Northampton concerning a moiety of the
manor of Graston in that county, claiming the moiety as that which William
Hanrede held of Roger, father of the said John, of whom John is the heir,
which ought to pertain to John as his escheat because William committed
felony for which he was hanged by judgment rendered before Robert
Malet and his fellows, justices of Edward I. to deliver the gaol of Northampton in the 23rd year of his reign, and that Gauwyn alleged before the
justices that he held the moiety for the term of his life of the king's grant
by the king's charter, which he proffered before the justices, and that the
justices therefore superseded the holding of the plea—the king, wishing to
be certified whether or not the said John or any of his ancestors remitted
or released their right in the said moiety after the commission of the said
felony, or changed their estate therein in any way whereby John might be
excluded from his action in this behalf, ordered the treasurer and chamberlains to search the charters and other muniments and the rolls and memoranda in the treasury, and to certify the king in chancery under the
exchequer seal of what they found, and they have certified that they have
searched a book in their custody wherein are entered (intitulantur) the
charters of quit-claim, deeds, and other muniments in the treasury made to
the king's progenitors, and that they found nothing entered therein that
relates to the moiety aforesaid: the king therefore orders the justices to view
the record and process had before the justices aforesaid, which he caused to
be adjourned before them by Geoffrey le Scrop, late chief justice of the
said eyre, there to be pleaded to an end (perplacitand'), and to proceed
further in the matter aforesaid, and to do justice to the parties aforesaid,
notwithstanding the allegation or grant aforesaid, provided that judgment
be not proceeded to without the king's being consulted. By pet. of C. |

To the justices in eyre in co. Derby. Order to admit John de Dagworth,
knight, to the office of marshal in the eyre, according to the king's former
orders to admit him to the office of proclaimer (preconis), marshal, usher, and
[to the office] of the barriers (barrerar') in their eyre, notwithstanding their
certificate to the king, in return to the said order, that John demanded before
them to be admitted to the office of usher and of carrying the rod and
receiving what pertains to that office, to which he was admitted by the
the justices, and that if John had demanded that the office of the marshalsea
should be delivered to him, it did not seem to them that that office ought to
be delivered to him by them, wherefore they deferred admitting him to the
office of the marshalsea, whereupon John prayed the king to provide him
with a remedy, and the king makes the present order in consideration of
the fact that Philip de Cokefeld [see this Calendar, 3 Edward III., p. 507]
was thus admitted to the office of proclaimer, marshal, usher and [to the
office] of the barriers in the eyre of Hugh de Cressingham, and that
Geoffrey le Scrop, the king's late chief justice of the eyre of Northampton
has testified before the king, that John de Dagworth was admitted to the
said office of proclaimer, marshal, usher, and of the barriers in the said
eyre of Northampton. |

them at his death in his demesne as of fee, and that the said messuage, land
and 4 acres of the pasture in Kerseye are held of the prior of Kerseye,

the half acre of pasture in Kerseye is held of the manor of Kerseye, in the

tenements in Kerseye, and held them in name of wardship, pretending that
they were held of him by knight service, and that they were taken into
the late king's hands with Hugh's other lands, and that they are in the
king's hands by the forfeiture of Edmund, late earl of Kent, to whom the
manor was granted under a certain form, and that Hugh entered the
