To S. archbishop of Canterbury. Summons to attend a parliament at
Westminster on Wednesday the octaves of St. Hilary next, to which date

prelates and magnates; which petition the king granted, although such delay
seemed harmful and dangerous. [Rep. Dignity of a Peer. IV. page 418.] |

Nov. 26(?). Knaresborough. |
To the abbot of Cîteaux. The king, recollecting the harm and damage
inflicted on the abbey of Bynedon, in the diocese of Salisbury, by the
indiscreet government and detestable presumption of John de Monte Acuto,
the late abbot, which abbey was founded by the king's progenitors, has compassion on the state of the abbey and desires to provide for its relief;
and although John is amoved from the government of the abbey for his
excesses and faults by the sentence of the chapter-general, brother Roger
being substituted in his place, the said John has nevertheless entered into
possession of the abbey by armed force and taken possession of, and
dissipated the goods that he found there, distributing them among his
aiders and abettors, whereby Roger and the monks of the abbey are reduced
to such want that their dispersal may be feared unless a remedy be speedily
found: the king therefore requests the abbot of Cîteaux to order John
with the monks, his accomplices, who have not feared to go armed to the
scandal of the order, and who are imprisoned in the abbey by reason of their
faults, to be transmitted to places far distant, to do perpetual penance,
and that the abbot of Cîteaux will ordain that some of the monks of the
house shall be sent to other abbeys, to stay there until the estate of the
house shall be reformed. As the abbot of Ford, to whom the house of
Bynedon is subject by affiliation, encouraged John in his wrong doing, the
king requests the abbot of Cîteaux to reserve the said affiliation and the
visitation of the house to himself and to commit the visitation to a discreet
abbot in whose industry he has confidence. By p.s. |
