Whereas Giles de Ayre, attorney of Herbert Wermond against the

Lovetot, and John de Kirkeby, justices and auditors appointed by the king to
examine the execution of a judgment rendered in the court of Sir John de
Brit[annia] at Boston, in the octaves of St. Martin in the third year, of the
suit that was in the same court between the abbot and Herbert for the unjust
detention of 14 sacks and 20 stone of wool sold by the abbot's predecessor,
to wit ten sacks of the better wool, price 11 marks each, and 4 sacks of
inferior wool and locks (loccorum), price 7 marks each, with 20 stone of
the same wool, price 3s. 4d. each, to the damage of the said Herbert of
100l., demanded all the aforesaid from the abbot, although it was not the
abbot's fault (per eundem abbatem non stetisset quominus) that the said
wool had not been delivered (soluta); nevertheless the abbot, for the sake
of peace, acknowledged that he owed to Giles, in the name of the said
Herbert, all the said wool, to be delivered to him at the quinzaine of Midsummer at Boston fair in the fourth year of the king's reign, on condition
that Giles shall pay to him all the price aforesaid at that term and place,
according to the agreement made between them, with the exception of
4 marks that the abbot's predecessor received in earnest. The abbot also
acknowleged that he owed to Giles, in the name of Herbert, 60 marks for
Herbert's damages and expenses, to be paid by equal instalments at Boston
fair in the fifth, sixth, and seventh years of the king's reign; to be levied,
in default of payment, of the abbot's lands in co. Lincoln. For this grant
and acknowledgment Giles, for himself and Herbert, remitted to the abbot
all actions against him, and he will render to the abbot all deeds concerning the debt of the aforesaid wool. And, as all the wool of the abbey
was sold by the abbot's predecessor for four years after the re-establishment
of the peace aforesaid to Hugelin Sampy and his fellows and by the present
abbot for the six following years, it is decreed and adjudged by the king
and the aforesaid justices that first of all payment of the said 14 sacks and
20 stone of wool shall be made to Giles, in the name of Herbert, because
he had previously bought it at the same time and place, and that Hugelin
and his fellows shall receive as much wool from the abbot after the end of
their term. Also John de Saunlyz and his fellows shall receive 14 sacks
and 20 stone of wool after the end of their term, without impediment or
complaint of any against the abbot, notwithstanding the instruments made
between the abbot and the merchants. |

as dower the manor of Braundone, Bretford, and Flecho, co. Warwick,
Codesbech, Loges, and Luttreworth, co. Leicester, with the advowsons of
the churches of Lutterworth and Codesbeche, excepting only 9l. yearly of
land of villein-tenants and cottagers (vilenag' et cotagiis) having toft in
Lutterworth, beginning at one end of the town where Theobald wills, proceeding wholly by the extent thereof previously made to the completion of
the said 9l. yearly of land, provided that the pleas and perquisites within
the said 9l. of land to be assigned by Theobald be extended pro rata
according to the extent previously made, which pleas and perquisites of the
tenants of the said 9l. of land shall remain to Theobald. It is also agreed
that all knights' fees except those of Lodelowe, Ewyas, and Wembele (sic),
which belonged to Sir John de Verdun, Eleanor's husband, shall be divided
into three equal portions, and that a third part of the fees in the said manors
of Braundon, Lutterworth, and Codesbeche shall be assigned to Eleanor for
all her dower of the lands, tenements and advowsons of churches that
belonged to the said John in England from the day when he married her
and for her dower in Suthstoke of the lands that John de Grey holds
there; provided that the advowson of the church of Neubold shall be
extended, and that she shall have full value of a third part of the same in
the said 9l. of land in Lutterworth, to wit for every mark 12d. It is also
agreed that she may not exact aught outside the towns aforesaid hereafter
for her dower, neither from the manor of Neubold nor from the
town of Buttlesby, nor elsewhere in England, except that the fees
in the said counties shall be divided, saving to her actions to recover
dower against any who were enfeoffed by John since his marriage or by
Theobald of John's lands, except against John de Grey for the said lands
of Suth Stok and saving to her her action for the lands that her husband
acquired in Webbele. It is also agreed that Eleanor shall be reasonably
dowered of the lands of Webbele, Ewyas and Ludelowe, which the
said John, her husband, had of the gift of Theobald his son, except the
fees pertaining to the said manors of Webbele, Ewyas, and Lodelowe, which
Eleanor has granted to Theobald for life. Moreover, Theobald grants that
she shall have her dower of the manor of Divelek in Ireland, and she
grants to him that he shall have out of her dower in Uryel in Ireland the
value of all her dower of Webbele, Ewyas, and Lodelowe in England and
of Divelek in Ireland in the places aforesaid, saving the lands in Wembeleye
(sic) acquired otherwise than by Theobald's gift, for which she ought not to
answer to him. If anything of her dower in Uryel remain to her after she
have satisfied Theobald for having her dower in Ewyas, Webbeleye, and
Ludelowe and Divelek, the remainder shall be assigned to Theobald for
making equal extent in Divelek. A suitable mansion shall be made for her
in Divelek outside the chief messuage at a reasonable extent of her houses
in Uryel. If her dower of Uryel and Meath (Mithe) do not suffice for
the value of her dower in Webbele, Ewyas, and Lodelowe and Divelek,
she shall receive so much less in Divelek. If she do not receive her dower
in all to the equivalent of her lands of Uriel by extent in Webbeley,
Ewyas, and Ludelowe and Divelek, or in any of them, she shall not be
bound to Theobald, except so far as she happens to be dowered of the
manors aforesaid. If Theobald die in her lifetime, whatever she has
remitted to him of her dower shall revert to her in full as her dower. She
shall have seisin of her dower in Webbeleye, Ewyas, and Lodelowe and
Divelek on the day of the Purification, in the fourth year of the reign,
and Theobald shall have seisin of her lands in Uryel and Meath on the
same day, saving to the moveables and issues of the lands to either of
them who previously held them. All oxen, plough-beasts, corn, hay, and
other moveables in the manors of Braundon, Codesbech, Leges and Lutterworth on the morrow of St. Peter ad Vincula, with the issues of all her
lands except Flecchenho assigned in name of dower, except the swans and
foals of the stud and the swine of the manors driven away or slain before
the making of this agreement, shall remain to her from the aforesaid day on
condition that she answer to Theobald for as much money as he acquired
them for from the executors of Sir John. Other clauses relating to payment, refunding to Theobald of expenses of cultivation, etc. Sealed by
Eleanor and by Elias de Oddeston, supplying the place of Theobald in
England, with the assent of Sir Ralph de Hengham, the king's justice, and

distraints on the prior and convent by reason of the said fifteenth until
