The Tower. |
To William FitzWaryn 'le frere.' Order to pay to the brethren and
sisters of the hospital of St. Giles, Wilton, the arrears of 6 marks
yearly of the rent and issues of the town of Wilton, from the time
when it was in his hands, and to pay those 6 marks yearly henceforth,
as the king ordered John de Harnham to deliver that rent to them and
to pay it yearly thenceforth [as in this Calendar, 6 Edward III, page
511], and now it has been shown to the king by the brethren and sisters
that William detains that sent from them from the time when the town
was in his hands by the king's grant, wherefore they have besought the
king to provide a remedy. |
Aug. 6.
Westminster. |
To Robert Clere, late keeper of the bishopric of Norwich, void and
in the king's hands. Order to have all the money of the issues of the

Westminster. |
To Gilbert de Chishull, the king's clerk. Order to cause the house
of Farleye, co. Bedford, founded by Henry III, for chantries and alms
for his soul, and the lands, goods and chattels belonging thereto, which
he had taken into the king's hands by virtue of the king's commission
directing him so to take the lands, goods and chattels of aliens of the
power of the king of France, and because the said house is subject to
the hospital of Suntyngfeld, in parts beyond the sea, to be delivered
without delay, as the king has compassion on the state of the said
hospital or house, the master and brethren of which are of the king's
nation, and who have not wherewith to live of their own, unless they
receive help from Christians, who also make no apportum on account
of their poverty. The king wishes Gilbert and the sheriff of Bedford
and Buckingham, to whom the said goods and chattels were delivered,
to be discharged. By K. and C. |

Aug. 1.
Westminster. |
To the sheriff of Buckingham. Like order to deliver to Ingelram de
Canewell, a native of the power of the king of France, his lands, goods
and chattels, which Gilbert de Chishull took and delivered to the sheriff
by indenture, accepting security from Ingelram that he will behave well
and faithfully, and will not eloign his goods from the realm, because
he has stayed thirty years and more at Wendovore and elsewhere in the
realm, having children and a wife there, perpetual domicile, lands in
lot and scot, and other things touching the community of the realm,
as the king has learned from trustworthy testimony, wherefore the king
does not wish to deal hardly with him. |
Aug. 3.
Clarendon. |
To the sheriff of Cumberland. Order to pay 10l. to John de Glanton,
constable of Carlisle castle, without delay, in part recompense for the
expenses incurred by him in retaining armed men for the safe keeping

Aug. 2.
Clanendon. |
To the sheriff of Cambridge. Whereas the king lately ordered the
prior of St. Etheldreda's, Ely, to have all the money of the tenth granted
by the clergy in the diocese of Ely at Westminster, on Monday after
St. Margaret, to be delivered to the treasurer [as at page 34 above],
and the prior did not pay certain sums of that tenth, to wit, 100l. due
by the executors of the will of John de Hothum, bishop of Ely, assert
ing that the executors had altogether omitted to pay that money, and
he had prosecuted against them by ecclesiastical censures for levying the
money; the king not wishing to tolerate such things longer, orders the
sheriff to go to the executors, exact from them the said money, receive
it and deliver it to the prior, so that he shall answer therefor to the
king, and if they refuse to pay it, then to cause it to be levied of the
bishop's goods and chattels in their custody without delay, so that he
have the money at London on St. Bartholomew next, without further
delay, to be delivered to the prior. He shall also make known to the
executors that they shall be before the king and his council at an appointed day and place to answer for their contempt in this matter, and
to do and receive what shall there be ordained, and if the sheriff is
remiss in the execution of this order, the king will punish him for his
rebellion and disobedience. By K. |

to John Charnels, supplying his place. By K. |
