keys of the treasury, which are in his possession, as the king has learned,
to be sent to London without delay, by one of his clerks in whom
he has confidence, to be delivered by indenture to John de Houton,

To Geoffrey le Scrop and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas
before the king. Whereas the king lately caused a certain petition
of the prior of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England, shown
before him and his council in parliament, concerning the church of
Rothele and the record and process held upon the advowson of that
church before William de Bereford and his fellows, justices of the Bench
of the late king, between the king and the prior, to come before him
in chancery, and the king sent the record and process to the justices
under the half seal (sub pede sigilli), ordering them to view the same
and the said petition, calling before them the king's serjeants and
hearing their reasons, and to cause justice to be done; and afterwards
at the prior's suit, showing that the justices have delayed to proceed
in that affair by pretext of a writ of privy seal directing them not to
take any inquisition upon the said affair until the quinzaine of
Michaelmas last, and the prior beseeching the king to provide a remedy,
the king ordered the justices to view the petition and record and
process, calling the king's serjeants before them and to cause justice
to be done, notwithstanding the said writ of privy seal, and although
the justices have proceeded to the discussion of the affair by virtue
of the said order, yet they have hitherto delayed to render judgment;
the king therefore orders them to view the petition, record and process,
and the inquisition taken by them upon the said affair, as is said,
calling before them those whom they see fit to summon, and further
to proceed to render judgment with all possible speed, notwithstanding
the said writ of privy seal. By p.s. |

Berwick-on-Tweed. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the earls,
barons, knights, freemen and community of the realm granted to the
king a fifteenth and tenth in the great council at Notingham on Monday
after St. Matthew, in the 10th year of the reign, for the defence of
the realm, and to avoid the oppression of the people of the realm by
the taxers and collectors, the king appointed Constantine de Mortuo
Mari and John de Hedersete to seek and receive from the cities,
boroughs and towns in co. Norfolk, such sum and no more as had
been levied for the tenth and fifteenth granted in the parliament at
Westminster on Monday after Sunday in Mid-Lent, then last past;
and afterwards at the suit of the men of the towns of Tilneye, Walpol,
Walsokne and Westwalton, and the hamlet of Enemeth and the towns
of Wygenhale and Tyryngton, showing that the lands pertaining to
those towns and hamlet had been inundated by sea storms and otherwise in Tylneye, Walpol, Walsokne, Westwalton and Enemeth, on Monday
before Hilary in the said year and in Wygenhale and Tyryngton on
Tuesday following, and that the corn sown there and their goods and
chattels there had for the most part perished by such tempests, and
they beseeching the king by their petition before him and his council
in the last parliament to have consideration for the premises and order
their goods and chattels which remain to them after the said destruction,
to be taxed and assessed at the said fifteenth, the king appointed
Constantine and John and John de la Rokele to take inquisitions concerning the said damage; and because it is found by such inquisitions
that the corn and goods have for the most part been destroyed as
aforesaid, the king appointed Constantine, John and John, with a clerk
whom they should choose for this, for whom they should be answerable,
to assess and tax the goods and chattels in those towns at the fifteenth,
and to collect and levy the money thereof, and pay it at the exchequer;
and the towns and hamlet have been so taxed as the king has learned,
to wit; Tilneye at 10l., Walpol at 16l. 8s., Walsokne at 12l., Westwalton
with the said hamlet at 16l. 2s., Wigenhale at 13l. 4s. and Tiryngton
at 16l. 9s. 6d., which sums, the said men are ready to pay; the king
therefore orders the treasurer and barons to view the said taxing, and
if they find that this has been done with reasonable consideration to
the said destruction, then to receive the said sums from Constantine,
John and John, and not to charge them or the men of the said towns
with any other sums by reason of the tenth and fifteenth so granted
at Notingham. |

To the same. Order to cause Joceus de Spaldyng to be discharged
of 50s. yearly for the custody of a messuage, 65 acres of land, 12
acres of meadow and 14s. 7d. rent in Wyverton and Bernyston, co.
Nottingham, which belonged to Hugh de Garthorp, deceased, tenant
in chief of the late king, and which were in that king's hands by reason
of the minority of William, Hugh's son and heir, from 8 June last,
provided that answer is made to the king by Richard de Ty, parson
of Multon church, for 52s. yearly for that custody from the same day,
and by Joceus for any arrears due by him, as the late king, on 18
May in the 12th year of his reign, granted that custody to Joceus to
hold from the morrow of the close of Easter, then last past, until
the heir should come of age, so that Joceus should maintain the heir
in food, clothing and other necessaries during that custody and should
render 50s. as aforesaid; and the present king on the said 8 June
committed that custody to Richard to hold during pleasure, so that
he should maintain the heir in food, clothing and other necessaries, and
render 52s. yearly at the exchequer. |
Jan. 26.

To John Petyt of Trenerth and Serlo Wyse, taxers and collectors
in co. Cornwall of the triennial tenth and fifteenth granted
by the laity. Order to deliver to Dinus Forcetti and Peter
Bini and their fellows, merchants of the society of the Bardi,
440l. of the money of the tenth and fifteenth granted for
three years in co. Cornwall, if the king ordered them to do so
by writ of the exchequer, in part satisfaction of a great sum of money
in which the king is bound to them, receiving from the merchants
the tallies which the king caused to be levied in discharge of John
and Serlo, as the king wishes the payment to be accelerated, because
the merchants have agreed to lend him that sum for his affairs when
they have received it. By C. |
Feb. 8.
Westminster. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause 250l.
to be allowed to William de Brykelesworth and John de Northall, who
were elected sheriffs of London for a year from Michaelmas in the
tenth year of the reign, in their account for the said year, provided
that they answer to the king for the residue of the ferm and issues
of that city, as lately at the suit of William and John, by their petition
before the king and his council in parliament at Westminster on Monday
after St. Matthew last, beseeching the king to provide for their indemnity,
as they ought to have received greater profits from the customs of
wool, hides, wool-fells and other merchandise brought from and to
that port, as other sheriffs there received them, in aid of the payment
of the ferm and for the maintenance of the ministers of the city
and of others whom it behoved the sheriffs to retain at their own
expense for the execution of the king's orders and the preservation
of the peace in that city, and the sheriffs were hindered from taking
and receiving such benefits by reason of the king's orders before the
said Michaelmas, prohibiting wool, hides, wool-fells or any merchandise
or victuals to be taken out of the realm, and because of the disturbance
(mocionis) made upon the sea, whereby such merchandise did not
come to the city from parts beyond; and because it was found by
examination and information of John de Pulteneye, then mayor of the
city, and of six aldermen, before the king and his council in chancery,
according to the agreement made in parliament thereupon, that William
and John had lost such profits, without their own fault, up to the
sum of 250l., the king ordered the treasurer and barons to cause
250l. to be allowed to them in their account, which they have hitherto
delayed to do, as the king has been informed by William and John. |

canons of Ledes to have the custody of their house, void by the death
of brother Robert de Maidenstan, the late prior, and to permit them

restoring to the canons the issues thereof, provided that they
answer to the king during the voidance, for the issues of
any lands which are held in chief, acquired after the charter,
as Robert son of Hamo de Crevequer, the younger, granted
to the canons by charter that they should have such custody
and administration in every voidance, with free power to
elect a prior, without Robert's consent, saving only to Robert
the presentation of the prior elect, and Edward I, after he
had the right of patronage of the priory by the enfeoffment of Robert,
confirmed the said grant; and Walter de Gloucestr[ia], then escheator
this side Trent, the priory being void by the resignation of brother
Adam de Maidenstan, then prior, entered the priory and took the
possessions thereof into the king's hands, as if the custody pertained
to the king, who granted that the said intrusion should not be made
a precedent to the prejudice of the canons. |

all his goods and chattels which the justices caused to be taken into
the king's hands by the sheriff of Kent, together with the money or
other goods and chattels levied by the sheriff, and to cause this to be
withdrawn or cancelled on the rolls of the Bench, as the king granted

pertain to the king as forfeit, because John withdrew himself by reason
of the said death. By K. |

the king lately sent to Holand, Seland and Almain, with other lieges,
on his affairs for the defence of the realm, granting him five marks
daily for his wages and expenses, for the days spent by him in that
service and for the expenses of his passages, the replacing of his horses
lost in the service and payments made by him by the king's order for
the said affairs; also for the wages of 200 mariners of four of the
earl's ships, furnished for war, which he caused to be arrested with
their masters and mariners for the king's service, and detained in
the king's service at his wages at Southampton, the port of London

wages, and brought to Southampton and afterwards to London, to
stay there for some time and to return home, and further to do what
the nature of the account requires. The king orders the treasurer and

Order to permit John Bray to hold the office of one of the ushers
of the receipt of the exchequer, notwithstanding the king's commission
to Henry Dymmok, if they shall find upon inspection of the king's
writ of privy seal that the office was granted to John to hold during
good conduct, and that no fault has been found with him for his
conduct therein, as he has shown the king by his petition before him
and his council in parliament, that the king lately committed that
office to him, and ordered the treasurer and chamberlains by letters
of the privy seal to receive him therein, to stay so during good
behaviour, receiving the accustomed wages, and although no fault was
found with him, yet Henry obtained from the king a commission under
the great seal to hold that office during good behaviour, directed to the
treasurer and barons, whereupon John has besought the king to provide
a remedy. By pet. of C. |

of 20s. on each sack, granted to the king, without hindrance, by a
certain security, provided that he pay the loan, subsidy and custom
on any sacks which he may take beyond the said number, like other
foreign merchants, as the king lately granted that he should take 130
sacks to Lombardy by such security, for which sacks he paid the loan
granted by alien merchants, and the king ordered the collectors to

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. John son of Stephen
de Segrave, kinsman and heir of John de Segrave the elder, has besought
the king to order account to be made with him, as John de Segrave was
retained by the late king to stay with him with certain men-at-arms,
for life, receiving from the king 100l. yearly in time of peace, as
appears by an indenture made between the king and John, and 100
marks were delivered to John for his fee for the 15th year of the
late king's reign, which sum is now exacted of John son of Stephen
as of a prest; the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to
view the indenture, inspecting the memoranda of the exchequer, and
if they find that John was retained as aforesaid and that 100 marks were
so delivered to him, then to audit the said account and further to do
what pertains thereto. By C. |

To Anthony Bache. Request to pay 17l. 7s. 8d. to Raymond del
Spiawe of Bayonne and Mary his wife, as Edward I ordered the constable
of Bordeaux to pay 17l. 7s. 8d. sterling or the value in other money
to Sancius de Spelete or his attorney or proctor, as he was bound to
Sancius in that sum for his wages and company for the time when
he was in his service in time of war in the duchy [of Aquitaine] by
account made with him by John de Sandale, clerk, as is fully contained
in the letters of Henry de Lacy, earl of Lincoln, supplying the said

treasury by the hands of John; and afterwards the present king, at
the suit of Raymond and Mary, daughter and heir of Sancius, beseeching
the king to order payment' to be made to them, ordered the constable

hand to be afterwards amoved therefrom, so that the prior of the
Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England may hold the custody
thereof until the heir of William Jarpevill shall come of age, restoring
the issues thereof, as on it being lately found by inquisition taken by
the escheator, that William held at his death in his demesne as of fee
a moiety of the manor of Wodebergh, co. Wilts, and the said messuage,
land, meadow and pasture, which moiety is held of the king by the
service of rendering a pair of gilt spurs yearly of the price of 6d., and
the tenements in Renham are held of the prior by the service of a
20th part of a knight's fee, and that Joan, William's daughter, is
his next heir and was then aged 10 years and more, at the prior's
suit, beseeching the king to cause his band to be amoved from the
lands which are held of the prior, the king ordered the escheator to
make known to William le Bruere, who married Matilda, late the wife
of William, and to Matilda, to whom the king committed the custody
of two parts of the land which belonged to William Jarpenill, to hold
under a certain form, that they should be in chancery on the morrow
of the Purification last, to show cause why the said tenements in
Renham should not be resumed into the king's hands and his hands
afterwards amoved therefrom, so that the prior should have the custody
thereof, and to do and receive what the king's court should determine,
and the escheator returned that he had made this known to William
and Matilda by Richard de Edersete and Henry le Clerk, and William
and Matilda did not come on the said day or send any one for them. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause allowance to be made to Simon de Rugeleye, sheriff of Salop and Stafford,
on his account, for the issues of the hundred of Pirhull, co. Stafford,
as allowance has been made to other sheriffs there, for the time when
the hundred was in the hands of Roger de Swynnerton and Robert
de Sapy, if they shall find by inquisition or otherwise that Roger and
Robert held the hundred during the whole of the time that Simon
was sheriff and received the issues and profits thereof and that Simon
received nothing from the hundred and did not intermeddle therewith,
as on 17 September in the 6th year of his reign, the king granted
the hundred to Roger to hold for life, rendering 4l. 6s. 8d. yearly at
the exchequer, and learning afterwards from Roger that the hundred
had been taken into the king's hands by reason of an agreement
conoerning such hundreds, the king granted to Roger on 12 July, in
the 8th year of the reign, that he should have the hundred for his
good service, for life, in part satisfaction of 300l. of land and rent
which the king granted him yearly for life, so that he should render
4l. 6s. 8d. yearly at the exchequer, and that he should cause the
hundred to be guarded according to the statute of Lincoln; and subsequently on 18 September in the same year, the king revoked that
grant and granted that Robert should have the hundred, as the late
king had granted it to him to hold under a certain form; and now
the king has learned from Simon's plaint, that although Robert and
Roger held the hundred during all the time that he was sheriff, so
that he received nothing therefrom, yet the treasurer and barons intend
to charge him with the ferm or issues of the hundred for the time
when he was sheriff, by reason of the king's writ to the sheriff of those
counties to take such hundreds into the king's hands, and they have
hitherto delayed to make allowance to him thereof. |
Feb. 3.

To the same. Like order to cause allowance to be made to the
same Simon for the ferm of issues of the hundred of Cherbury, which
the king granted, on 31st May in the ninth year of his reign, to
William fitz Waryn, with the custody of Montgomery castle, for life,
without rendering anything thereof. |

To the same. Like order to cause allowance to be made to Simon
in the arenting of divers wastes in the king's forests of Kenefare
and Cannok which were arented in the time of Edward I to Gilbert
de Dunnesleye, John de Madeleye, John de Swynnerton, Walter de
Strangelfeld, Agnes de Somery and William atte Lee, by certain lieges
appointed for this, and they were not assarted or cultivated from
the time of that arenting, wherefore Simon could not levy these arentings by distraint or otherwise while he was sheriff, yet the treasurer
and barons charged the sheriff upon his account with 4s. 2½d. for
Gilbert, 3s. 8d. for John de Madeleye, 8s. 5d. for John de Swynnerton,
3s. for Walter, 3s. 2d. for Agnes and 6d. for William yearly, by
reason of those arentings, wherefore Simon has besought the king to
provide a remedy. |
|
To the same. Simon de Rugeleye, sheriff of Salop and Stafford, has
shown the king that whereas the custody of Stafford gaol is annexed
to the body of co. Stafford, and is in the hands of the sheriffs who
have received the profits thereof in aid of their ferms, and although
John son of Nicholas received the profits of that custody by virtue
of the king's commission, for all the time when Simon was sheriff,
yet the treasurer and barons intend to charge him in his account
with the entire ferms of these counties; the king therefore orders them
to inspect the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, in John's presence,
if he choose to attend, and if they find that the matters are as aforesaid,
then to cause allowance to be made to Simon on his account, of the
yearly value of the said custody for the said time. |

Gramory asserted before them that he had the king's letters patent
of protection to last until a time still to come, containing that he
should be quit of all pleas and suits, except certain pleas, and has
exhibited these letters and others to impede the suit of Henry le
Vavasour in a plea which is pending before the justices between them,
wherefore that plea has taken a long delay, yet upon examination of
the chancery rolls it is not found that such letters are enrolled there,
and the king has learned from trustworthy testimony that William
was not then in his service and is not yet set out, the king revokes
those letters, and orders the justices to proceed in that plea and to
render justice to the parties. By C. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. The prior of St.
Katherine's without Lincoln has shown the king that whereas H. bishop
of Lincoln deputed him to collect the money of the biennial tenth
granted by the clergy of the province of Canterbury in the tenth
year of the reign at London and Leicester, in the archdeaconries of
Lincoln, Leicester and Stowe and the deanery of Rutland in Lincoln
diocese, and although the prior exercised all ecclesiastical censures
delivered by the bishop to him against those refusing to pay such
money and used all diligence to levy it and delivered at the exchequer
the names of those who refused to pay and the sums touching them, seeking to be discharged of those sums, yet the treasurer and barons have
not cared to discharge him thereof, whereupon he has besought the
king to provide a remedy; the king therefore orders the treasurer
and barons to discharge and acquit the prior of these sums if they
find by inquisition or otherwise that he applied all diligence to levy
them, calling before them those whose names the prior has delivered,
hearing their reasons and those of the prior, and if they cannot reasonably be discharged of the sums exacted of them, then to cause the

treasurer, and for a ship called 'Prucebergh,' bought at Boston for
the king's use, fitted for war, with streamers, standards, banners, crossbows, bows, arrows, robes and other armour, and delivered to Robert
Carter, master of that ship, and the sheriff incurred other costs for the
munition of the ships, for which things the king ordered the treasurer
and barons to cause allowance to be made to him, and the sheriff has
informed the king that they have hitherto delayed to make such allowance to him because he did not exhibit a bill upon his account. By C. |

To the treasurer and chamberlains. Order to pay Alice de Bedyngfeld, sister of Peter de Bedyngfeld, knight, 200 marks within three
years, which the king has granted to her, as the king caused all

of the will of Blanche, queen of Navarre, if they shall find, upon
examination of the king's order and of the memoranda of the exchequer
that the said sum is in arrear to them, as they have besought the
king to order such payment to be made to them, as the king was
lately bound to William in 1,000 marks for divers jewels in his custody,
delivered to the king, who promised to pay that sum at certain terms,
now past, and ordered William de la Zouch of Mortymer to pay that
sum of those 5,000l. in which he and Eleanor his wife were bound
to the king by a recognisance made in chancery on 19 January in
the 4th year of the reign; and William and Eleanor paid 428l. 5s. 8d.
of the said sum to William, and detained the remaining 238l. 7s. 8d.;
and although on 21 May last, at the suit of the executors, the king
ordered the sheriff of Gloucester to cause that sum to be levied of
the lands and chattels of William and Eleanor, and to have it at

annexed to their spiritualities, and of the said tenths, as long as
the war with Philip, king of France, shall last, as they have besought
the king to cause them to be so discharged from Midsummer in that
year, as they have received no profit from that custom from the said
feast by reason of the war. By p.s. [10604.] |

To Richard de Wylughby and his fellows, justices appointed to take

de Molyns the custody of all the lands which belonged to John de
Wodehill, tenant in chief, and which were in his hands by reason
of the minority of the heir, to hold until the heir should come of
age, rendering the extent thereof yearly at the exchequer; and now
the king has been informed that Matilda late the wife of Richard
Hog of Pateshull, arrames an assize of novel disseisin against Isabella
late John's wife, and John his son and others contained in the original
writ, concerning a tenement in Pateshull near Hegham in that county,
of which John was seised at his death, the king therefore orders the
justices not to proceed to take any assize thereupon without consulting
the king, if they find that John de Wodehill was seised at his death
of those tenements, placed in view by virtue of the assize, and that
they are in the custody of John de Molyns by the king's commission,
by reason of the heir's minority. By C. |

the said lands, permitting John le Duyn and Eleanor his wife, and
John, William's son and heir, and Alice his wife to hold them in
accordance with the king's grant to Hugh de Sancto Johanne [as at
page 71 above], and the sheriff has so delivered those lands, as he

To the mayor of London. Order to cause the cloth of certain
merchants of Brabant arrested at that city, to be dearrested without
delay, to be sealed as is customary, and delivered to them, as they
have besought the king to provide for their indemnity, as the mayor
arrested divers cloths brought to that city by them after Michaelmas
last by pretext of a statute that no merchants should bring woollen
cloth into the realm after that feast upon pain of forfeiture, and the
king wishes to do favour to them on account of his affection for
John, duke of Brabant, and at the duke's request. By K. |

the abbot is bound to render to the king at Easter next for his church
of Chilham and his chapel of Meles annexed to that church, which
belong to the prior of Trewelegh, an alien, and which were taken
into the king's hands for that reason, for certain works in that castle,
enjoined upon the earl, as the king committed to the abbot the custody
of all the goods and chattels and other things pertaining to the church
and chapel, to hold during pleasure, rendering 40l. yearly at the
exchequer. By K. and C. |

To Henry de Bradeweye, steward of the liberty of J. archbishor of

To William de Clynton, earl of Huntingdon, constable of Dover
castle and warden of the Cinque Ports, or to him who supplies his
place. Whereas at the suit of certain merchants of Spain, Portugal,
Catalonia, the duchy of Aquitaine and other friendly lands, coming
to the realm with their goods and merchandise, showing that these
were taken both on land and sea within that bailiwick, by the king's
subjects by armed power, the king ordered the earl to hear their
complaints and to cause restitution to be made to them [as at page
288 above]; and now the king has learned from the plaint of the
merchants that although they sued before the earl for the restitution
of their goods or for competent satisfaction therefor, yet he has been
remiss in the execution of the king's order, since the barons and
others of the ports and places in his bailiwick pretend that they have
divers liberties, under colour of which they have neglected to appear
before the earl to submit to justice, but maintain the malefactors in
their misdeeds, conceal the goods so taken and eloign them, wherefore
the merchants cannot obtain justice; the king therefore orders the
earl to hear the plaints of the merchants, calling before him those
whom he shall see fit, and taking information upon the premises, to
cause the merchandise which these merchants can prove to be theirs
to be restored to them, or competent satisfaction to be made to them
therefor if it be destroyed, together with the damages which they
have incurred, notwithstanding any alleged liberties of the Cinque
Ports, and if any barons or others of those ports shall refuse to come
before him, then he shall take inquisition upon the premises by the
oath of merchants, mariners and other natives near the places where
the evil was done, and take further information, if necessary, and
to compel the ports or towns of that bailiwick, if the malefactors are
maintained there, or the goods taken are concealed, eloigned or
detained, or if the barons do not display all possible diligence to
punish the malefactors and restore the goods, to restore the said
goods or give satisfaction to the merchants, together with damages,
by distraint and otherwise, by taking their goods and chattels into
the king's hands, notwithstanding any liberty, and to cause the
premises to be published in ports and fitting places in the bailiwick,
knowing that if he does not execute this order with diligence, the
king will punish him as disobedient, and the king wishes him to
make known to the barons and others of his bailiwick, that if they are
found remiss or rebels in any of the premises, the king will take that
liberty into his hands when he has been informed of such rebellion. |

to wit; a messuage and virgate of land in Ogeford St. James of
Richard son of Roger de Ogeford, in the time of Henry III by Alice
de Perham, then abbess, and a messuage and 4 virgates of land in
the same town of Henry Tut, and 2 virgates of land in the same
town of Marcianus son of Baldwin in the time of Henry III, by
Matilda de la Mare, then abbess; and a mill and 18 acres of land and
1½ acres of meadow in Ogeford St. John of Ralph Hervy in the 4th year
of Edward I, and a messuage and 2 virgates of land, and 2 acres of
meadow in Ogeford St. James of Ralph Saunzaver, in the 5th year
of Edward I, by Juliana Gyffard, then abbess; and that at the time
of their acquisition the tenements were held of the abbess by the
service of 2s. yearly, and now of the king, and are now worth 8l.

de Glaumorgan and of Amicia his wife, to have seisin of the manor
of Staundenewode and the advowson of the chapel there, together

king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that John
at his death held the manor and advowson by the law of England,
of the inheritance of Amicia, and that the manor is held in chief as
of the honour of Caresbrok castle, by the service of a knight's fee,
and that John died on the feast of St. Stephen last, and Peter is
his next heir and was of full age on the morrow of the Purification
following; and although Peter was a minor at the time of his father's
death, the king wishing the manor and advowson to be delivered to
him without the usual process of proving his age, has taken his homage
and rendered them to him. By p.s. |

and two carucates of land in Dunheved and Tyssebury, restoring the
issues thereof to the abbess of Shafton, as the escheator returned
that he had taken the land into the king's hands because the abbess
had acquired them in mortmain of Roger Tubbe, without licence;
and afterwards at the suit of the abbess, showing that the land had
been acquired after the publication of the statute of mortmain, by the
then abbess, with the licence of Edward I, of Richard de Manneston
and not of Roger, the king ordered the escheator to take an inquisition upon the premises, by which it is found that Laurencia Mussegros,
sometime abbess of Shafton, acquired the said land of Richard by the
licence of Edward I in the 18th year of his reign, and not of Roger,
at which time the land was held of the abbess and now of the king
by the service of 12d. yearly, and it is worth 10l. yearly. |

sheriff of the county, the king will order these sums to be allowed

merchants, in which sum the king was bound to them, receiving four
tallies from them levied under the names of the collectors; and the
merchants have promised to lend that sum to the king for his affairs

villeins of the master and brethren in that town, because it was found
by an inquisition of office that they had demised them to Stephen de
Adynton and Joan his wife for their life, without licence; and afterwards, at the suit of the master and brethren, showing that they had
demised the land and villeins for a term of years only, and beseeching
the king to order his hand to be amoved therefrom, the king ordered

appointed by letters patent under the exchequer seal to take into the
king's hands the lands, goods and chattels of certain aliens, took 12 sacks
of Godekinus's wool and delivered them to Robert Stuffyn of Newerk,
to be kept, and the treasurer and barons caused Robert to come before
them to answer for the said wool, or the price thereof, the king will
order Robert to be discharged of the wool, and the wool to be delivered
to Godekinus; and because the king does not wish the goods of
merchants of Brabant to be so taken into his hands, he orders the
treasurer and barons to cause the wool to be restored and Robert
to be discharged, if they find by inquisition or otherwise that the wool
belonged to Godekinus, was taken into the king's hands by Stephen

he committed to him the custody of the lands which belonged to Gilbert
de Umframvill, earl of Anegos, tenant in chief, which were in the king's
hands by reason of the minority of Gilbert, the earl's son and heir,
to hold until the heir should come of age, rendering the extent thereof
at the exchequer yearly, and although the lands of the earl in co.
Northumberland were destroyed and wasted by frequent incursions of
the Scots, during the whole of the time that Gilbert had the custody,
wherefore the king caused them to be extended by William de
Denum and Richard de Emeldon, deceased, at the request of
Gilbert de Boroudon; and although the extent is now made and
returned into the exchequer, yet the treasurer and barons, not considering it, intend to charge Gilbert according to the extents of these
lands returned at other times, whereupon he has besought the king
to provide a remedy; the king therefore orders the treasurer and
barons, that if the extent has been returned as aforesaid, to cause
Gilbert to be charged according to that extent for the time that the lands
were destroyed, and further to do what is right, not having regard
to the other extents. By pet. of C. |

93l. 7s., which his predecessor received in the late king's time from
divers men of cos. Cumberland and Westmorland, for victuals sold to
him by that king's order, by the keeper of the king's victuals, and
the prior paid 30l. of that sum by virtue of an attermination of 10l.
yearly, granted by the king, and he is still bound in the residue, and
the king is bound to the prior in 41l. 15s. for divers victuals brought
from the prior's predecessors by the late king, as appears by a bill
of the wardrobe, in the prior's possession, that the king will cause the
41l. 15s. to be allowed to the prior in the said 63l. 7s., and order
the residue to be paid according to the aforesaid atterminations, and
the king, considering that the prior and his tenants are newly destroyed
by the Scots, and also the great expenses incurred by the prior for
the safe custody of Carlisle, orders the treasurer and barons to view
the said bill, and if they find that such money is owing to the prior,
then to cause allowance to be made to him as aforesaid, provided that

Order to cause any presentation to the church of Artach made after
the quinzaine of Hilary, in the 8th year of the reign, to be revoked,
and to permit the prior of Lanthon Prima in Wales to have such state
in the advowson of the church as his predecessor, John de Rufford,
had there, as the king lately impleaded the prior of that place, before
the justices of the Bench, Dublin, concerning the presentation to that
church, void and in the king's hands; and afterwards, at the prior's
suit, showing that there was an error in rendering judgment and in
the record and process, the king caused it to be brought before him,
and on its being viewed and examined, and the errors pointed out,
because it was found before the king that Prior John died before
judgment was rendered, and that John de Gloucestr[ia], the present
prior, was then prior, and that a judgment against a dead man is
null in law, it was determined in the court on the said quinzaine that
the judgment should be annulled and that the prior should have a
writ to the sheriff to place him in seisin of the advowson, as fully
appears by the tenor of the record and process which the king caused
to come before him in chancery, and now the prior has besought the
king by his petition before him and his council in parliament, to
provide him with a remedy, as the justiciary, after the judgment for
annulling the previous erroneous judgment was rendered, has presented
a clerk to the church, in the king's name, it being void by the resignation of William de Bardelby, clerk, the last rector. By pet. of C. |

of France, their lands, fees, advowsons pertaining to priories and places
within the realm, which the late king caused to be taken into his
hands by reason of his war with the king of France and committed

treasurer and barons of the exchequer to cause such lands, etc. to be
delivered to them, discharging them of the said ferms and the arrears
thereof; and now at the suit of the abbot of Rewley, near Oxford,
showing the king that he holds the church of Saham in the bishoprio
of Norwich, by the grant of the abbot and convent of le Pin, which
the late king confirmed, which church the abbot and convent held
previously for their own uses for rendering 43 marks yearly to the
abbot of le Pin; and the treasurer and barons had caused the said
abbots to be distrained to render 43 marks and 116 marks of arrears;
the king therefore ordered the treasurer and barons to cause this
demand to be superseded. By C. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Like order to supersede the demand made on the abbot of Rewley to render 43 marks
yearly if they find that he satisfied the abbot of le Pin for that sum
in good faith and not by collusion, for four years before the king ordered
the possessions of aliens to be taken into his hands, as the abbot has
shown the king, and as may appear, he says, by letters of acquittance
in his possession, under the seal of the proctor of the abbot of le Pin
and the seal of the abbot of Stratford. By pet. of C. |
