To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas—upon its being
found by inquisition taken by Simon de Bereford, then escheator this side
Trent, that John de Boclond, knight, 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, but that he held certain lands in 'gavelkynde' in the town of Maidenstane of the archbishopric of Canterbury, then void and in the king's hands,
by the service of 5s. 8d. yearly, and that Gregory, Richard, Laurence, and
John, his sons, and John son of John de Boclond, the younger, were his
next heirs—the king ordered the said escheator not to intermeddle further

prosecution, suggesting that he was charged in his account at the exchequer
with the issues of the said lands for the time when they were in the king's
hands by reason of the voidance of the archbishopric aforesaid—ordered the
treasurer and barons to supersede until the following parliament the demand
made upon the escheator for the issues aforesaid; and now William de
Neuport, Simon's late sub-escheator in co. Kent, has given the king to
understand that Simon charged him with the said issues in his account
rendered to Simon, which account William afterwards caused to be recited
at the exchequer for certain reasons, by reason whereof William still remains
charged with the issues at the exchequer, and he has besought the king to
provide for his indemnity; the king therefore orders the treasurer and
barons to cause the exaction for the issues from William to be superseded,
and to cause him to be discharged and acquitted thereof at the exchequer. |

possession, and the said abbot received that rent at the exchequer of the said

time of Edward I., and the abbot has besought the king to order the rent
and the arrears thereof from the said time to be paid to him, or to cause the
arrears to be allowed to him in the tenths or other debts due from him; the
king therefore orders them to see the letters aforesaid, and to search the
rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, and to see the writs of liberate and
allocate concerning the rent, and if they do not find that any reasonable
cause for the withdrawal of the rent, and if they find that it was previously

the issues of the manor of Knolton from the time of its being taken into the
king's hands by reason of the death of Thomas Perot, as the king—upon its
being found by inquisition that Thomas Perot at his death held no lands in
chief of the king as of the crown by reason whereof the custody of his lands
ought to pertain to the king, but that he held a tenement called 'Coldelowe'
of the heir of James de Audeley, a minor in the king's custody, by the
service of 8s. 6d. at two terms of the year, and the manor of Knolton of the
said Juliana, who is of full age, by knight service, and that he held
other lands of other lords by various services, and that Thomas Perot,
son of Simon Perot, Thomas's nephew (nepos), is his next heir and is aged

with the manor of Knolton, and William and Juliana have entered the manor
by virtue of the said order. If there be any reason why the escheator cannot

master and brethren of the order of the Temple at the time of the annulling

demand against the master and brethren by summons of the exchequer,
which are exacted from the prior because the lands of the master and
brethren are in his hands by virtue of a statute, and he has besought the
king to cause him to be discharged of the said debts: the king therefore
orders the treasurer and barons of the exchequer to cause the rolls and other
memoranda of the exchequer concerning such debts to be searched, and to

find, so that the chancellor, having called before him men learned in the

and all those indicted or taken in that county have been taken thence to
Norwich castle, which is in co. Norfolk, and have been there detained and
many of them have been delivered at Norwich by men of co. Norfolk who
were ignorant of their crimes, by reason whereof the men of co. Suffolk have
not dared to take or indict thieves and other malefactors there because they
have been many times delivered by strangers ignorant of their larcenies and
other crimes, and they have besought the king to order the old gaol of
Ipswich to be repaired and to order such indicted and taken men to be there
received and imprisoned; the king therefore orders the sheriff to cause the
said gaol to be repaired by the view of Ralph de Bockyng', so that such
prisoners may be received and delivered there as was wont in the time of

through the default of those who were bailiffs of the manor, and who would

the king is indebted to him in divers sums of money for the surpluses of
accounts rendered by him at the exchequer for the time when he was the

him and his council in parliament, that he, by the king's order by writ
of the privy seal, caused two pipes of Rhenish wine (de Rynoys) to be
sent to Kenilworth castle for the late king's expenses there, and there
delivered them to the keepers of the said king, and that the treasurer and
barons defer making him allowance for the said pipes because he has not in his
possession any warrant for the receipt thereof, wherefore he has besought
the king to provide a remedy: the king, as he learns from the testimony of
Richard de Rivers that Benedict caused the said pipes to be sent to the
the aforesaid castle and there delivered them to the keepers of the said king,
orders the treasurer and barons to see the order aforesaid, and if they

Eltham, the king's brother, for his expenses at the time of the persecution
of Hugh le Despenser two tuns of wine, and that the treasurer and barons
defer making him allowance for the said tuns because he had no special
warrant for the delivery of the said wine with the exception of the late
king's orders by word of mouth, and he has besought the king to cause the
said tuns to be allowed to him, especially as he is prepared to prove that he
delivered them by order of the late king made by word of mouth and that he
has not yet had allowance therefor; as it is testified before the king that the
late king would frequently of his liberality give certain tuns of wine at his
pleasure, and would order them to be delivered to those to whom they were
given without a warrant of his letters, and as Benedict and William de
Boylston, his clerk, and Thomas Cros and John de Foxton have taken oath

in form aforesaid by order of the late king made to him by word of mouth
without other warrant, and that Benedict has not yet had any allowance

To Geoffrey le Scrop and his fellows, justices to hold pleas before the
king. Thomas de Blaston has shewn the king, by petition before him and
his council in parliament, that he lately recovered against Hugh de
Notingham 80 marks for his damages for a re-disseisin of tenements in
Blaston made upon him by Hugh, whereof he [Hugh] was convicted before
the sheriff of Leicester and the coroners in that county, and afterwards,
because Hugh did not come before the king to satisfy him for his ransom in
this behalf, he was put in exigent in that county, and was afterwards outlawed for this reason, as appears by the records and processes of the suit and
outlawry aforesaid, which the king has caused to come before him, and
although Hugh has not satisfied Thomas for his damages, Thomas has been
hindered from prosecuting to take Hugh and imprison him until Thomas be
satisfied for the damages aforesaid, by reason of a pardon made to Hugh of
the outlawry and imprisonment and of everything pertaining to the king by
reason of the re-disseisin aforesaid, wherefore Thomas has besought the
king to provide a remedy: the king therefore orders the justices to see the
records and processes aforesaid, and if they find by inspection thereof that
the said 80 marks were adjudged to Thomas for his damages, and if they
ascertain that Hugh has not satisfied Thomas for the same, they are to
cause Hugh to be taken and imprisoned until he have satisfied Thomas for
the said damages, notwithstanding the pardon aforesaid. By pet. of C. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. John de Warenna, earl
of Surrey, has shewn the king, by petition before him and his council, that
he demised the manor and town of Theford to Ralph de Cobham, deceased,
for Ralph's life, and that he entered the manor and town after Ralph's death,
and that William Trussel, then escheator this side Trent, disquieted him
concerning his entry of the same because he had entered them without
delivery from the king, and the escheator exacted from him the issues
thereof, and the king afterwards ordered the escheator to desist from disquieting the earl for this reason and to permit him to hold the manor and
town without impediment until otherwise ordered, and to deliver the issues
thereof to the earl, because the earl had found security in chancery by Alan
Talbot to answer to the king at the exchequer for the issues aforesaid if they
ought to pertain to the king, which issues are now exacted from the earl by
summons of the exchequer, as the king learns from the earl's complaint,
wherefore the earl has besought the king to provide him with a remedy: as
it is found by inquisition taken by John de Blomvill, the late king's
escheator in divers counties, and by inquisition taken by Robert Selyman,
escheator this side Trent, that the earl demised the manor and town to
Ralph as aforesaid, and that the earl at no time remitted or quit-claimed
to Ralph his right in the reversion of the manor and town, the king orders
the treasurer and barons to cause the demand upon the earl for the issues
aforesaid to be superseded, and to cause him and the aforesaid Alan to be
discharged and acquitted thereof. By pet. of C. |

that she impleaded before the said justices Mary, late the wife of Aymer de
Valencia, earl of Pembroke, concerning a toft, 100 acres of land, 5 acres of
meadow and 5s. of rent in Thorp Stapelton, and Mary alleged in pleading
that the land is parcel of the manor of Temple Neusum, and that she held it
for life by the late king's grant by his letters patent, which she proferred
before the justices, and that the manor after Mary's death ought to revert
to the king, wherefor she alleged that she ought not to answer to Ellen
without consulting the king, by pretext whereof the justices have deferred
proceeding in the plea, wherefore Ellen has besought the king to provide a
remedy: the king therefore orders the justices, if it have been thus proceeded before them, to proceed to the final discussion of the plea, notwithstanding the allegation aforesaid, and to do justice to the parties, provided
that they do not proceed to render judgment without consulting the king. |

that the king lately pardoned him his ransom and what pertained to the king
for the trespass whereof he was convicted in the late king's exchequer in an
account there rendered by him for the time when he was treasurer of the
said king's exchequer of Dublin, and restored to him his temporalities, lands,
goods and chattels that were taken into the said king's hands for this reason,
and ordered the treasurer and barons of the exchequer to cause the archbishop to be acquitted of the said trespass and to cause his temporalities,
lands, goods and chattels to be restored to him with the issues received
thence, as contained in the king's writ in their possession at the exchequer,
and that, although John Cogan, late treasurer of the exchequer of Dublin,
accounted in the exchequer after the pardon aforesaid for the archbishop's
goods and chattels thus taken into the late king's hands to the value of
290l. 19s. 9½d., and answered for that sum in his account, the treasurer and
barons defer restoring this sum to the archbishop, wherefore he has
besought the king to cause this sum to be allowed to him in the 1271l. 6s. 0½d.
due from him to the king for the arrears of his account for the time when
he was the late king's treasurer of the exchequer of Dublin, which sum is
exacted from him by summons of the exchequer: the king therefore orders
the treasurer and barons of the exchequer to see the writ aforesaid and to
search the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer concerning John's account,
and if they find that the king thus pardoned the aforesaid trespass to the
archbishop and ordered his temporalities, etc., to be restored to him, and

the hospital of Boulton, which is of their patronage, wishes to demit the
custody of the hospital to Thomas by reason of the affection and respect for
Thomas that he has long had, provided that the abbot and convent assent, and
the abbot and convent defer fulfilling the wishes of William and the promotion
of Thomas by reason of the king's prayers to them to present to the custody
of the said hospital Master Thomas de Garton, king's clerk: the king, considering the manners and merits of Thomas de Baumburgh and his long
service to him and his father, and the just and honest affection and intention
of William, requests the abbot and convent, if they be satisfied of William's
affection and intention towards Thomas, to direct their wishes in the person
of Thomas de Baumburgh as to his presentation to the hospital aforesaid at
the king's intercession, notwithstanding the king's prayers on behalf of
Thomas de Garton or of any other person, for which the king will be
