Ingelram de Colonia, canon of the house of Jeddeworth in Scotland, which
is of their order, the bearer of the presents, in which house he is unable to
stay nowadays because of the incursions of enemies and because the house
is so fallen and destroyed in its revenues by the frequent wars in Scotland
that its revenues are insufficient for the maintenance of the canons; and
the king requests the prior and convent to admit Ingelram into their house
to serve God under their habit amongst them, and to treat him with

successors, and that William de Wykewan, John le Romeyn, and Henry
de Newerk, formerly archbishops, had nothing in the Hay except tenancy

by the charters of the king's progenitors and by the king's confirmation,
