To William le Vavassur. Whereas the king has appointed the sheriff of York to make divers provisions of corn in that county for the maintenance of the king and his magnates who are going with him to Scotland at Whitsuntide next, and he has requested men of religion and others of the community of that county to aid and counsel the sheriff in making the said provisions, as William, William de Cantilupo, Ralph son of William, and John de Insula, or two of them, shall cause them to be requested on the king's behalf: the king, because he has this matter much at heart, orders William, together with William, Ralph and John, or one of them, to induce by such ways and means as they shall deem best the said men of religion and others to do the premises, signifying to them on the king's behalf that he will cause them to be satisfied for the corn from the issues of the county and from the first money that shall be levied from the aid granted to him in the same county to marry his eldest daughter, so conducting himself in this behalf as to merit the king's commendation.

To the abbot of Dore. The king understands that the abbot of Citeaux has sent certain of his proctors to the abbot and other abbots of that order in the realm in order to exact from them a sum of money for his use, and that the said abbot has been appointed executor of this exaction. As this exaction may redound against the king ordinance against carrying silver out the realm and otherwise to his prejudice, he inhibits the abbot from making to the abbot of Citeaux or anyone in his name any subsidy in money or other things by reason whereof money or silver may be carried out of the realm or fraud may otherwise be done to the ordinance aforesaid, by reason of any subvention, gift, loan or in any other manner, without the king's assent and licence, or from making any exaction from any abbots in the realm to pay any such subvention to the abbot of Citeaux, or from molesting them in any way by reason of the non-payment of any sach exaction. He is to understand that if he do otherwise, the king will severely punish him for so doing.
To the abbot of Vale Royal. Order forbidding him to pay anything to the abbot of Citeaux by reason of the exaction aforesaid.
Memorandum, that on Tuesday before St. Lucy, Sir Adam de Osgodeby, keeper of the rolls of chancery, delivered the king's great seal to Master William de Grenefeld, dean of Chichester and chancellor of England, at London, in the chancellor's chamber in the lodging of the bishop of Chichester, in the presence of Master John de Cadomo and Sir William de Byrlay and Sir Robert de Bardelby, under whose seals Adam kept the said seal by the king's order while the chancellor was abroad on the king's affairs; and the chancellor received the seal into his own hands there, and sealed writs with it on the morrow.
