To Thomas, earl of Norfolk, marshal of England. Order to appoint
without delay suitable keepers and men to take his lands in Ireland that are
occupied by the rebels from the said rebels, and for the safe custody of the
lands, as the king learns from the frequent complaints of the people of
Ireland and it is well known in that land that the possessions and lands in
Ireland of the earl and of other the king's nobles and subjects dwelling in
England are wasted and occupied by the king's enemies there for want of
custody, wherefore it is agreed in the present parliament, by the consent of
the prelates and other magnates there, that the king ought to go to Ireland
in person to refrain the said enemies and their malice, and that in the
meantime men-at-arms and horsemen and footmen shall be sent to Ireland
both by the king and by others who have lands there to recover the lands thus
occupied. The earl is enjoined to do these things by all means, bearing in
mind that if the king come to Ireland and find the earl's lands in the hands
of the enemy and cause them to be delivered by armed force, he may have
his will of the said lands as being of his own conquest. By K. & C.

To William de Burgh, earl of Ulster. Order to come to the king in
England with all speed in order to treat with the king secretly concerning his
passage to Ireland, and to set out with the king for Ireland, as the king has
ordained to go to Ireland for the reformation of its estate and the establishment of peace, and he wishes to have information and colloquy and treaty
with the earl upon certain things touching his passage thither, for which
reason he has now committed to Anthony de Lucy, justiciary of Ireland,
those things that pertain to the preservation of the king's peace in that land
and to its rule, which things he had previously committed to the earl, to be
exercised by Anthony in the earl's absence. The earl is enjoined to depute
in the meantime some one or more of his men in whom he has full trust in
his place for the arraying of his subjects, which deputies shall be intendent
to the justiciary in those things that pertain to the preservation of the
king's peace and the tranquillity of that land and the restraining of
malefactors there. [Fœdera; Report Dignity of Peer, iv. 405]. |

their lands there against the attacks of the Irish and in the recovery of their
lands, as often as need be and when summoned by the justiciary on the
king's behalf, causing them to know that if they neglect to do this and the
king find their lands in the enemy's hands and recover them by armed

To D[avid], king of Scotland. The king has received complaint from Louis,
bishop of Durham, by petition before him and his council in parliament, that
although he holds, and he and his predecessors have held, from time out of
mind, the castle, manor, and liberty of Norham, as parcel of the bishopric, of
the king and his progenitors, and he has, and he and his predecessors have
had from time out of mind, royal rights within the liberty aforesaid, and have
exercised them by themselves and their ministers concerning all and singular
matters arising within the liberty, and the town of West Upsetlyngton is
held of the bishop as of the castle and manor of Norham, and the bishop
and his predecessors at all times past when the see has been filled, and the
king's progenitors in times of voidance, have been wont to hold their courts
concerning the tenants of the town at the said castle and to have cognisance
of all pleas or actions arising within the town, as well by their writs as
without writs, and the bishop and his predecessors have always heretofore
exercised ordinary jurisdiction in the town without any bishop of Scotland
intermeddling with such jurisdiction in that town at any time, nevertheless
certain of king David's ministers, by pretext of a general order of his
directed to them to cause bishops, abbots, priors, earls, barons, and free
tenants who are bound to attend his parliaments, and also to summon all
who are bound to do homage to him, to be at his parliament to be holden at
Scone on Friday before Martinmas next, have caused the bishop to be
summoned to be present at the said parliament to shew how and by what
service he claims to hold the said land of Westupsetlyngton: as this
summons, if carried into effect, would not only be to the prejudice of the
bishop and of his church, but also to the disinheritance of the king and of
his royal right and the injury of his crown, especially as the bishop is not
bound by reason of any lands that he holds of the king to come to the parliament of another than the king or to do homage therefor to any other than
the king, the king, believing that king David, by reason of the treaty concluded between them, does not desire to uphold the prejudice and disinheritance or the injury of the dignity of the king, requests David to desist
wholly from inflicting such impeachments and annoyances upon the bishop
by reason of the summons aforesaid, and that he will not permit the bishop
or his tenants to be molested in any way by him or his ministers by reason
of the summons aforesaid, writing back by the bearer of the presents what
he will do in this matter. [Fœdera.] |

To Alfonsus, king of Castile [etc.]. The king has received complaint
from Giles de Baldeswell, John de Meones, Robert Wodefal, and Ralph son
of Stephen de Wylughby, citizens of Dublin, that they caused a ship of
Hastyngges, of which the late John de Warf of Hastynges was master, to be
laden with divers sorts of corn, and cloth, and other merchandise to the value
of 500l. sterling at St. Valery in Picardy, in order to carry them to Ireland
to trade there, certain malefactors of Fountraby, of the power of Alfonsus,
attacked the ship on her voyage to Ireland near the Isle of Wight, wounding
the said merchants and their men and servants in the ship, and took and
carried away the corn, cloth, and merchandise aforesaid and also 300l.
sterling in ready money belonging to the said merchants and the tackle of
the ship, price 60l., and left the ship there empty, wherefore the merchants
have besought the king to provide a remedy: the king therefore requests
Alfonsus to hear their complaint, and to cause speedy justice to be done to
them concerning the restitution of the corn, cloth, and goods, etc., and for
their damages in this behalf, as Alfonsus would wish the king to do to his
subjects in the like case, certifying the king of his proceedings by his
letters and the bearer of the presents. By p.s. [4798.] |

To the steward of the county of Pembroke in Wales. Whereas the king
lately appointed Gilbert Talbot, his justice of South Wales, John Giffard,
William de Rupe, John de Stonford, and William Casse his justices to
make inquisition by the oath of men of that county what evildoers had
carried away the goods and chattels of David de Barry at Maynerbyr to the
value of 500l. and had slain Edmund Barry his servant there, etc., and at
whose procuration the slaying was done, and who afterwards harboured the
evildoers, and to hear and determine the felonies; and afterwards at the
prosecution of certain men of the county, by their petition before the king
and council in parliament, suggesting to the king that the aforesaid commission was made and granted to the injury of the liberty of the said
county, and to the damage and prejudice of the men thereof, and contrary
to the custom heretofore obtaining there, and praying the king to provide
them with a remedy, the king gave the petitioners a day before him in
chancery concerning the premises, and caused his serjeants for maintaining his estate there to be called, and the petitioners alleged
before the king that the county is in the king's hands by reason of the
minority of Laurence de Hastynges, kinsman and co-heir of Aymer de
Valence, late earl of Pembroke, and that in that county a seal to serve the
people of the county in their suits ought to be specially deputed, and that
such seal used away to be appointed there in the times of the lords of that
county for the time being from time out of mind, without the lords of the
county using any other seal in any case there, and this they offered themselves ready to verify by the ways and means that they ought to do; and
the king's serjeants on the other hand asserted that the lords of the county
were wont at all times past to make their commissions concerning felonies
and trespasses committed in that county under their own seals or under the
seals deputed for the use of that county at their pleasure, and this they
offered themselves ready to verify for the king; and the king thereupon
appointed the aforesaid Gilbert and Thomas de Cheddeworth and Richard
Symond to make inquisition by the oath of men of that county whether
the said Aymer in his lifetime and the other lords of that county in their
lifetime made such commissions only under the seal specially appointed for
that liberty or under their own seals at their pleasure, and if under their own
seals, then what lords had done so, etc.; and Master William de Carreu,
Thomas de Carreu, and Owen ap Oweyn, and divers others have shewn the
king that they are indicted before the said justices of the felonies aforesaid,
and that they are put in exigent by the king's writ to the steward because
they did not come before the justices or the aforesaid David, and they have
besought the king to cause them to be delivered by mainprise pending the
said inquisition, if they render themselves to prison: the king therefore
orders the steward to cause the said men, if they render themselves to prison,
to be delivered upon their finding mainprise to have them before the
justices at the day upon which the writ of exigent is returnable, and to
supersede the further exaction of them. By C. |

To William Trussel, escheator this side Trent. Whereas Henry, sometime king of England, by his charter which Henry III. confirmed, granted to
the church of Bec and the monks there serving God, amongst other things
that had been given to them, in frankalmoin Le Rislep, now called 'the
manor of Rislep,' which they had of the gift of Ernulph de Hesdyng, and
that they should have and hold the said place of Ryslep in peace, etc., as
contained in the charter of Henry III., which the king has inspected; and
the king—upon learning from the abbot of Bec that he and his predecessors
have held the manor of Rislep in frankalmoin from the time of the making
of the charters aforesaid without their being wont to make any fixed gifts
of food (puturas) to the poor, except at their pleasure only, and that the
escheator, by virtue of an inquisition of office taken before him, pretending
that the abbot ought to distribute to poor mendicants at the said manor
daily the bread arising from half a quarter of mixed corn (mixtilionis) and
on Friday in addition a dish of cooked beans for the souls of the king's
progenitors, and that these alms had been withdrawn for some time, caused
the abbot to be distrained, by all his beasts and chattels found in the manor,
both his plough beasts and others, to make the said alms—ordered the
escheator to deliver the beasts and cattle thus taken to the abbot upon the
abbot's finding security to be before the king and his courcil at Westminster
in fifteen days from St. Hilary next to do and receive what his court shall
consider in the premises, and ordered the escheator to be there in person to
inform the king concerning his right; and the king now learns from the
abbot's complaint that the escheator, although he has received the order
aforesaid, has not cared to admit the security aforesaid and to deliver the
beasts and chattels: as the abbot has found the king security in chancery by
Robert de Asshele, Simon de Rislep, Walter de Salyng, and Stephen le
Botiller of co. Middlesex to be before the king and his council at the aforesaid day, the king orders the escheator to cause the beasts and chattels
aforesaid to be delivered to the abbot without delay, and to be before the
king and his council at the aforesaid day to inform him concerning his right
in this behalf. |

take the issues of the customs, by themselves or their attorneys, by the
hands of the receivers of custom (custumers) in the said places by indenture
made between them and the receivers of the customs. Moreover, as the
said merchants are now in arrears of a certain sum for the like service for

customs, the king grants that they may have 1,000l. of the first moneys of
Wales of the chamberlain or of other moneys, in discharge of the said service;

the household, that they shall hold the said customs in manner aforesaid

they have expended, that the excess shall be allowed in the other debts that
the king owes to them, and if he do not owe them aught, then they shall
make restitution of the excess. And the king wills that they shall have in
their possession one leaf of the coket of the old custom, and that they shall

collectors of custom in each of the places aforesaid. And the king wills
that the treasurer shall be certified in the times aforesaid at Easter, Midsummer, and Michaelmas of the sums of money that they have received of
the said customs. And the king will have regard to the said merchants as
to the sums that they have paid for the said service according to the time
that they shall have been served of the issues of the said customs, and also
of the expenses incurred by them in collecting the money of the said customs
in such manner that they shall consider themselves paid in reason. In order
to perform and accomplish the matters aforesaid, the king grants, by the
assent of his council, that the merchants shall have at all times when
necessary such and so many letters and writs of his great and privy seals
and under the exchequer seal as shall be to their profit in the manner aforesaid; and he wills that at all times when they wish to have tallies of the
receipt in discharge of the customs, they may have them, charging the
treasurer of the wardrobe for the time being, or others who should be
charged, rendering letters patent of the wardrobe or of others who ought to
be charged with the sums. The king and the merchants have promised in
good faith to hold and perform all the matters aforesaid. To one part of
