merchants of the society of the Friscobaldi of Florence, for the use of

To William But. Although the king lately, upon being given to
understand that William, who was lately elected to have custody of the
greater piece of the seal for the statute of merchants in the town of
Norwich, was unable to execute the duties of the office for certain reasons,
ordered the bailiffs and men of that town to choose someone else in
William's place; the king, as he now understands that William has
conducted himself faithfully in the execution of that office and that he is
able to do and execute those things that pertain to it, orders him to
intend the custody and office in accordance with the form of the statute
until otherwise ordered, so that merchants or others wishing to make
recognisances in that town shall not be delayed or damaged in his default. |

To John Wogan, justiciary of Ireland. The king learns by an
inquisition taken by Walter de Gloucestr[ia], escheator beyond Trent,
that Edmund le Butiller of Ireland is the son and heir of Joan la Butiller,
deceased, tenant in chief, and that he is of full age; and Edmund, at the
time when Richard de Burgo, earl of Ulster, was at Dublin on his way to
the king in Scotland, came thither with men-at-arms ready to come
to the king in his service to Scotland with the earl, and it was
unanimously agreed by the council and assent of the king's subjects of
those parts then at Dublin, for the safety and advantage of the king and
of his land of Ireland, that Edmund should stay in Ireland with his
power in aid of the king's other subjects of those parts, as the justiciary
has signified to the king by his letters; the king, wishing to show
Edmund special favour for these reasons, had rendered to him all the
lands in England and Ireland falling to him in right of inheritance by
reason of Joan's death, and has given power to the justiciary to receive in
the king's name Edmund's fealty for the lands that Joan held of the
king in chief; the king orders the justiciary to take the fealty and to
certify him thereof under his seal, and to permit and enjoin Edmund to
come to the king before Whitsuntide to do his homage for the lands.

value of a third of 4l. 17s. 0d. yearly, as she lately demanded before the
justices of the Bench by the king's writ against Reginald de Pavely and
Walter his son, her dower of the freehold that belonged to Nicholas in
Bosynton, co. Southampton, to wit a third of a messuage and of a
carucate of land, and Reginald and Walter vouched to warranty Nicholas,
son and heir of Nicholas, a minor in the king's wardship, and Nicholas
de Warrewyk, who sued for the king in this behalf, warranted them in
the heir's name and rendered to Agnes her dower, whereupon it was
considered by the justices that Reginald and Walter shall hold in peace
and that Agnes shall have the value of the said third from the heir's lands
in the king's hands, which messuage and land are extended by an extent
made by the sheriff of Southampton at 4l. 17s. 0d. yearly, as appears by
the record and process before the judges, which the king has caused to
come before him. |
Feb. 8.

To the sheriff of York. Order to cause the prior of St. Oswald's to
have seisin of a messuage and two acres and three roods of land in
Crofton, as the king learns by an inquisition taken by the sheriff that the
messuage and land, which Adam son of Henry de Crofton, who was
outlawed for felony, held, have been in the king's hands for a year and
a day, and that Adam held them of the prior, and that the township of
Crofton now holds them and has had the king's year and day thereof, for
which it ought to answer to the king. |

To Master Richard de Havering', escheator this side Trent. Order to
cause dower to be assigned to Christiana, late the wife of William de
Warthehole, who held by cornage of the heir of Hubert de Multon, which

proclamation to be made in that city forbidding anyone taking wool,
hides or wool-fells to parts beyond sea from that port under pain of
forfeiture thereof, and order not to permit these things to be thus taken
out of the port, as the king wills for certain reasons that his seal called
'coket' or a passage for wools, hides, and wool-fells to parts beyond sea
shall not be had any longer through that port. |

and elsewere within Richard's bailiwick that might be built upon and let
out at rent (arentari) for his profit and advantage; he orders Richard to
commit them to certain persons who will build upon them or inhabit them
or otherwise make their profit thereof for a certain rent to be rendered by
them to the exchequer by the hands of the king's bailiffs of those parts, as
shall seem best to Richard for the king's profit and advantage, to be held
to them and their heirs or in other ways of the king by the arrentation
aforesaid, certifying the treasurer and barons of the exchequer of the
names of those to whom he thus commits the land and of the quantity
and of the amount of the rent (arentacionem). |

To the prior and convent of Carlisle, sub-collectors of the tenth of
the clergy for three years granted to the king by pope Boniface VIII.
Whereas the said pope granted to the king a moiety of the said tenth by
his letters, the tenor whereof the king sends to them written by a notary
public (manu publica cujusdam tabellionis), in order that they may inspect
it and make it known, if need be, to all others whom it may concern, and
the said pope ordered the bishop [of London] and Master Bartholomew de
Ferentino, canon of London, by other his letters executory to cause the
moiety of the tenth thus granted to the king, then collected or to be
collected afterwards, to be assigned to the king or to his proctors specially
deputed for this purpose; by pretext of which letters the bishop by himself
and Bartholomew by Master John Bonichii de Senis, his commissary
specially appointed in this behalf, have caused a moiety of the said tenth
for the two first years and a part of the tenth for the first term of the third
year to be levied by certain of their sub-collectors and to be assigned to
the king; and the king now needs money in great quantity for the speedy
ending of the war in Scotland: he therefore orders them to cause to be
collected and levied, by virtue of the first commission to levy the tenth for
the three years made to them by the bishop and Bartholomew, the principal
collectors of the same from the first, which commission has not expired
by the death of the said pope or bishop, all the balance of the tenth for
the first term of the third year from all and singular ecclesiastics within
the district committed to them, sparing no one of whatsoever estate,
dignity or condition he may be, by all manner of ecclesiastical censure
befitting them without any delay, so that they may have it at the
exchequer with all possible speed, in order that the king may thus have
the moiety of the tenth for the third year in accordance with the pope's
grant, and the king will cause them to have a sufficient acquittance by
his letters patent of all that they shall pay and will save them harmless
against the pope, the principal collectors and all others. |

80 marks exacted from him by summons of the exchequer for the service

to Petronilla, late the wife of Roger de Brom, certain lands in Blonorton,
which were taken into the king's hands by the escheator by reason of Roger's
death, and to restore the issues thereof, as the king learns by an inquisition
taken by the escheator that Roger and Petronilla were jointly enfeoffed of
the said lands for the term of their lives, and that they held them jointly
on the day of Roger's death of the heir of Robert de Tateshale, tenant in
chief, a minor in the king's wardship, by the service of a moiety of a
knight's fee, and the king has taken Petronilla's fealty for the lands. |

To the bailiffs of Lenne. Whereas the king lately, at the suit of Ralph
Gedge and John de Pycheford, burgesses and merchants of Scardeburgh—
suggesting to him that two of their ships with the goods and chattels in
them to the value of 200l. were driven by stress of weather to the port
of Northbern, within the land and power of the king of Norway, and
were unjustly arrested by Erling (Helenger) Hildesone, his bailiff at
Northbern, and are detained by him—requested the said king by his
letters to cause the ships with the goods and chattels aforesaid to be
restored to the merchants and to cause justice to be done to them in this
behalf; and the said king has done nothing in the matter but has wholly
failed to do justice to them, as the king learns from their complaint and
from the letters patent of his men of Scardeburgh sealed with their
seal: the king orders the bailiffs to cause the ships and goods of men and
merchants of the land and power of the king of Norway coming to their
port or town to be arrested up to the value of the ships and goods
aforesaid, and to cause them to be kept safely until otherwise ordered,
certifying the king of their proceedings. By the chancellor. |
March 1.
Dunfermline. |
To John de Sandale, keeper of the exchange at London. Whereas the
king lately ordered him to deliver out of the goods and chattels that
belonged to William de Saut, late citizen of Bayonne, which were
adjudged to the king for certain reasons and which he ordered to be
arrested in the city of London, to Arnald de Caupenna 800l., which the
king had granted to him in part payment of the debts due to him and to
William de Sancto Paulo, Arnald de Sancto Martino, and certain other
of their fellows, merchants of Bayonne, [and] 500l. that the king granted
to them in aid of their costs and expenses in a prosecution made by them
in the king's name against William de Saut, to be received from
the said goods; and it appears to the king by an inquisition
taken by the said John and Ralph de Sandwico, constable of the
tower of London, by the king's order that of the said goods there were
arrested in the hands of John Dolron, John Blank, and William de Laur',
late collectors and receivers of the custom of wool at London, to the value
of 1035l. 11s. 5d., of which John de Sandale has received 915l. 1s. 5d.
only, and has paid thence to Arnald 800l. and to the said merchants
115l. 1s. 5d., as he has signified to the king: as it was not, and is not,
the king's intention that anything from the said goods and chattels shall
be assigned or delivered to anyone else than Arnald and the said
merchants, and he wills that 117l. 10s. 0d. that still remain to be paid of
the said sum shall be levied and paid to the said merchants without delay,
in part payment of the 500l., any assignment thereof made elsewhere by
anyone not withstanding, the king orders John to cause to be arrested and
kept safely the portions falling to the said John Dolron, John Blank,
and William de Laur' in the custom of wool, making no allowance to them
in the debts that the king owes to them in the custom until the king or
the said merchants shall have been satisfied for the said 117l. 10s. 0d.
or until otherwise ordered. By p.s. |

To Walter de Glouc[estria], escheator beyond Trent. Order to assign
to Joan, late the wife of John Wak, tenant in chief, from the lands of
John, which are in the king's hands by reason of the minority of John's
heir, the value of a third of 28l. 10s. 0d. yearly in dower, as she lately
demanded before the justices of the Bench by the king's writ against
William son of Alan her dower of the free tenement that belonged to
John in Suthicham, Hadington, Whisseby, and Est Deping, co. Lincoln,
to wit a third of these manors and also a third of a messuage and of six
acres of land in Est Deping, as appears by the record and process before
the justices, which the king caused to come before him, and William
proferred before the justices deeds of John made to him of the said
tenements containing a warranty thereof, and vouched to warranty Thomas
son and heir of John, whose lands are in the king's hands by reason of
his minority, and it was considered in the court that William should hold
the said third in peace and that Joan should have the value thereof from
the land of the heir in the king's hands, as is contained in the record and
process aforesaid, whereupon the king appointed Thomas son of Eustace
and Henry de Baiocis to extend the manors and lands aforesaid, and it is
found by the inquisition taken by them and returned into chancery
that the manors, messuages and lands are extended at 28l. 10s. 0d. yearly. |
Feb. 16.
Dunfermline. |
To the sheriff of York. Order to enquire by all means that he shall see
fit where Lucy, wife of William le Latimer, the younger, may be found in
his bailiwick, and to cause her to be arrested and taken back, by force if
necessary, to William's manor of Brunne, in that county, and to cause
her to be delivered to William's attorney or attorneys, to dwell there
under safe and suitable custody, as the king learns from William that
certain evilly disposed persons have taken Lucy from the said manor,
where he had left her to stay during his absence in Scotland in the king's
service, by force and arms against his will, with certain of his goods found
there, and that they detain her, and the king is bound to maintain and
defend William, who is staying with him in Scotland and whom he has
taken into his protection with his men, lands, rents and possessions.
