exacted from Adam by summons of the exchequer, by reason of the forfeiture of the said Hugh, and that Adam exhibited in the exchequer two
letters of acquittance made in Hugh's name for 100 marks of the said
100l., asking to be discharged of the said 100 marks and also of the remaining
50 marks, because the said recognisance was made, as he asserts, by duress
of prison, according to a statute lately passed at Westminster providing
that the recognisances and obligations made to the said Hugh after his
exile by force and duress should be annulled, whereupon a day was appointed for Adam to appear at the exchequer, but Adam died in the meantime, and it was considered in the exchequer because he did not appear
on that day that the said 100l. should be levied of his lands and chattels by
default: the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to cause the
executors to be discharged of the said 100 marks, provided that justice be
done according to the said statute for the king and the said executors concerning the remaining 50 marks. |

of the said John, by petition before the king and his council in parliament,
shewing that as lord of the said manor and mills he ought to have the suit
of the tenants of the town of Esyngwald to the said mills, and also to the
said oak, as previous lords of that manor have had them from time out of mind,
rendering to the lord of Esyngwald 5 marks a year for the suit and oak,
and the oak has been withheld for some time past—ordered the keeper to
take inquisition, by which it is found that John de Eyvill and his predecessors, formerly lords of the manor of Thorneton and of the said mills,
and other lords of the same, were formerly seised of the said suit and oak,
until the time when Henry III. granted the manor of Esyngwald together
with the said 5 marks a year to Edmund his son, formerly earl of Lancaster,
and afterwards in the time of the said Edmund and his heirs until the
said oak [was lost] by the negligence of the fermors of the mills, in the
time when the manor of Thorneton and the mills were in the hands of Isabella de Vescy for life, by the demise of the said John de Eyvill, rendering
the said 5 marks for the suit and oak every year to the king's progenitors

said William 840l. from the first issues of the old and new customs in the
town of Kyngeston-upon-Hull from the time when the merchants of the
society of the Bardi of Florence should have received 1000l. granted to

and then to cause all the issues of the customs to be delivered to William
until he had received the said 840l.; and John de Barton and Henry de
