To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. At the prosecution of the
abbot of Hyde near Winchester by petition before the king and his
council—suggesting that Edward I. was indebted to him by his letters
patent in 53l. 12s. 6d. for 20 sacks of wool bought from him for the said
king's use by Baldwin de Bulneye and his fellows, then appointed to buy
wool in cos. Southampton and Wilts for the said king's use, and that the
abbot was indebted to the said king and to the late king in divers sums of
money, both for green wax, amercements, and other such causes, which are
exacted from him by summons of the exchequer, and beseeching the king
to cause the aforesaid sum to be allowed to him in the debts thus exacted
from him—the king ordered the treasurer and barons to see the letters of
Edward I. concerning the said debt, and to cause it to be allowed to the
abbot in the debts thus exacted from him; and the abbot has now shewn
the king that Henry le Canevacer of Winchester and the abbot made a
recognisance for 75l. to the late king before Geoffrey le Scrop and his fellows,
late justices to hold pleas before the said king, for twenty-five tuns of wine
that Henry was compelled to buy of the wines of the said king in Porcestre
castle for its munition, and the king afterwards pardoned 56l. 13s. 4d. of
the said sum because it was found by an inquisition taken by the king's
order that the wines were corrupt for the greater part, and that Henry was
compelled to buy them against his will by Hugh le Despenser, the younger,
and Master Robert de Baldok, and ordered the treasurer and barons to
receive the remaining 18l. 6s. 8d. and to acquit the abbot of the whole sum,
and the said 18l. 6s. 8d. are still unpaid, and the abbot has besought the
king to cause that sum to be allowed to him in part satisfaction of the said
53l. 12s. 6d. for which he has not yet had payment or allowance: the king
therefore orders the treasurer and barons to see the said writs at the
exchequer, and to search the rolls and memeranda concerning allowances or
payments made to the abbot of the said 53l. 12s. 6d., and if they find that
he has not yet been satisfied, to cause the said 18l. 6s. 8d. to be allowed
to him in part satisfaction, and to cause allowance for the remainder to be
made in the other debts due from the abbot to the king. |

that he has not yet received payment, any other assignment upon the issues

that Anthony should thus receive 1,000l. of the 8,201l. 8s. 6d. due to him
from the late king, as appears by two bills under the seals of Roger de
Northburgh, late treasurer of the said king's wardrobe, and of Robert de
Wodehous, then cofferer of the said king, which bills Anthony has restored
to chancery, and of which sum the king lately caused 2,000l. to be paid to

Stoke, Wrotton, Bukton, Westderham, Crymplysham, Riston, Fordham,

indictment of the said John de Insula for a felony, took the said tenements
into the king's hands together with the manor of Waterdon, 2 messuages,
100 acres of land, and 10s. of rent in Anemere and Congham, which are of
the inheritance of Milicensia, wife of the said John son of John, as he
asserted, and beseeching the king to cause his hand to be removed thence—
appointed Robert Walkefare, Anselm Mareschal, and John Claver to make
inquisition concerning the premises in the presence of William, bishop of
Norwich, the treasurer, and it is found by the inquisition that John de
Insula, the younger, in the eleventh year of the late king's reign, enfeoffed
the said John his son of the said 5 messuages, 325 acres of land, 14 acres
of meadow, and 7s. of rent, to him and the heirs of his body, and that the

To William Trussel, escheator beyond Trent. Order not to intermeddle
further with a toft of the abbot of Hyde near Winchester in Donekenton,
and to restore the issues thereof to the abbot, as the king lately ordered
Simon de Bereford, late escheator beyond Trent, to certify him of the
reason for taking it into the king's hands, and Simon returned that the toft
is a vacant plot containing a rood of land and that he took it into the king's
hands because the abbot made a purpresture thereof upon the king's
highway, and had appropriated it to him and his house, without royal
licence, after the publication of the statute of mortmain, and the king—upon
the abbot's suggestion that he and his predecessors had held the plot as of
the right of their church from time out of mind, and beseeching the king to
cause his hand to be amoved thence—ordered the present escheator to make
inquisition concerning the premises, and it is found thereby that the abbot
had not made any purpresture on the king's highway in Donekenton, but
that he and his predecessors had held that plot as of the right of their
church from time out of mind. |

de Gatesdene and Alice Haket to him and his house long before the

them into the king's hands pretending that the prior had acquired them
without royal licence after the publication of the said statute—ordered the
escheator to make inquisition concerning the same, and it is found thereby

himself and his house long before the publication of the statute of mortmain, to
wit the toft from the said William in 1 Edward I. and the wood from Cicely
