impleaded outside the walls of the city for any plea, except foreign
tenures, which liberty they and their ancestors have always used and
enjoyed without impediment from the time of the making of the charters
aforesaid, until the steward and marshal of the late king's household compelled divers citizens of the city by various distresses to answer before
them outside the walls to divers men making plaint of debts, trespasses,
agreements, and other pleas arising within the city, having no consideration
to the liberty aforesaid, and delivered to the late king's exchequer their

king in chancery the tenor of a recognisance for 10,000l. made in the
exchequer by Edmund de Pynkeneye to Hugh le Despenser, the father, so
that the king may cause to be done what ought to be done according to the
form of the statute in the late parliament at Westminster for the annulling
of recognisances made to Hugh le Despenser, the father, and to Hugh le
Despenser, the son, after their exile, by force and duress, and to cause the
exaction of the aforesaid sum from Edmund to be superseded in the meantime, as Edmund has prayed the king to cause him to be discharged of the
above recognisance according to the statute, as he states that he made it to
Hugh by force and duress after the exile, and the said sum is now exacted
from him by summons of the exchequer for the king's use by reason of
Hugh's forfeiture. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Richard de la Pole and
William his brother have shewn the king that they have received divers
sums of money at the exchequer and from the king's wardrobe and from
the issues of the customs by assignment made to them, in order to purvey
wines and other things for the king's use, for which sums they have not yet
fully accounted, and they lent to the king divers sums for the expenses of
his household, as they promised (assumpserunt) under a certain form at the
instance of the treasurer and barons, and for the expedition of divers affairs
of the king's, and they have prayed the king to cause account to be made with
them for all the receipts, payments, and expenses aforesaid, and to order
satisfaction to be made to them for what shall be found due to them: the
king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to account with them or their
attorney to be appointed for this purpose by their letters patent, which
attorney the king wills shall be admitted for this purpose, for all the
receipts, payments, and expenses aforesaid, and to cause to be done what
pertains to the final account, and to cause satisfaction to be made to them
by assignment or payment for any surplus there may be at the end of the
account. By C. |

To the same. Richard de la Pole, the king's butler, has shewn the king
that whereas it was ordained by the late king and his council that purveyances of wine for his use should be made by the view and testimony of approved men and the bailiffs of the towns of the parts where the purveyances
should be made to be appointed by him, and that the men thus appointed
should certify the treasurer and barons at the exchequer twice a year concerning such purveyances and other necessary things in this behalf, he has
made purveyances of wines for the king's use for the time when he was
butler without anyone being appointed for this purpose, and he has prayed the
king to cause account to be made with him for his costs and expenses about
the purveyance, and to order allowance therefor to be made to him notwithstanding the said ordinance: the king therefore orders the treasurer
and barons to audit the account of the said Richard for the time when he
was butler concerning such purveyances, and to receive from him or his
attorney the particulars (parcellis) of such purveyances, and to inform
themselves fully concerning the particulars and the places where the purveyances were made, and concerning all other things touching the account
that may be necessary for the king, by inquisitions to be taken in the said
places, if need be, or otherwise according to their discretion, and to cause
to be done further what shall pertain to the completion of this account.

from that port, 54 marks 3s. 8d. due to him from the king for a loan in the

To the justice of the Bench. Eleanor, late the wife of Herbert son of
John, has shewn the king, by her petition before him and his council, that
whereas she lately demanded before the justices a third of the manor of
Lechamstede, co. Berks, against Robert de Sapy as the third whereof the
said Herbert dowered her at the church door when he married her, by the
assent and will of John son of Reginald, his father, of whom he was the
heir, and hereupon she produced a deed before the justices, the said Robert
alleged before the justices in the Bench that he held the manor for life by
demise from Peter de Gavelston by Peter's deed, which he exhibited, and
that the reversion of the manor after his death pertained to the king by
Peter's forfeiture, so that he ought not to answer to Eleanor without consulting the king, by reason whereof the justices have deferred proceeding
further in the suit, and she has prayed the king to cause justice to be done
to her in this matter: the king therefore orders the justices to proceed in
the suit to the final discussion thereof, and to cause justice to be done to
the parties notwithstanding Robert's aforesaid allegation, provided that they
do not proceed to render judgment without consulting the king.
By pet. of C. [2680.] |

To the same. The aforesaid Eleanor has shewn the king that whereas
she lately demanded before the justices a third of the manor of Swerford,
co. Oxford, against John de Hanlo as the third whereof the aforesaid
Herbert dowered her at the church door when he married her, by the assent
and will of John son of Reginald his father, and hereupon she produced a
deed before the justices, the aforesaid John alleged before the justices in
the Bench that he held the manor for life by demise from Hugh le
Despenser by Hugh's deed, which he exhibited, and that the reversion of
the manor after his death pertained to the king by Hugh's forfeiture, so
that he ought not to answer to Eleanor without consulting the king, by
reason whereof the justices have deferred proceeding further in the suit,
and she has prayed the king to cause justice to be done to her in this
matter: the king therefore orders the justices to proceed in the suit to the
final discussion thereof [etc., as in preceding order]. By pet. of C. [5537.] |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. The abbot and convent
of Glastenbury have shewn the king, by their petition before him and his
council, that the abbey has been much impoverished and wasted in times of
voidance by the duress of the ministers who have had the custody thereof
heretofore, from which no benefit accrued to the king's progenitors, and
they have prayed the king to grant to the prior and convent, for the
indemnity of the abbey, that they and their successors shall have the
custody of the abbey and all things pertaining thereto in all voidances for a
fixed sum (certo) to be rendered to the king for the time of the duration of
the voidance; the king, in order that he may grant their request, wishes to
be certified of what was answered to the late king and to his other
progenitors for each voidance of the abbey, whether by fine made therefor
or otherwise, and for what time, and how, and in what manner [answer was
made], and whether the abbot has acquired any lands since the last voidance
for which answer was not made to the king's progenitors, and what such
lands are worth: he therefore orders the treasurer and barons to search the
rolls and memoranda of the exchequer touching the premises, and to take
information by inquisition or otherwise in this behalf, and to certify him
under the exchequer seal of what they find. By pet. of C. |

To the keeper of the king's stud of the new park of Old Wyndesore.
Order to cause the tithe of the foals of the said stud for the time that he
has been keeper to be paid to the parson of the church of the place to whom
the tithe is due, and to pay the same tithe hereafter, as the abbot of
Waltham Holy Cross, parson of the church of Wyndesore, has prayed the
king, by petition before him and his council, to cause the arrears of the
said tithe to be paid to him, since he ought to receive by reason of his
aforesaid church by common right all great and small tithes of all things
renewed (innovatis) within his parish yearly, and the park is within the
limits of his parish. By pet. of C. [7336.] |
|
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause allowance to be made to Thomas de Heton for the 40l. due from him to the king

him from the king, as he has prayed the king, by petition before him and
his council, to cause the said 40l. to be allowed to him in the 120 marks
due to him from the king, for the arrears of the 26 marks that the king
granted to him yearly at the exchequer. By pet. of C. |
