July 1318



July 3. Northampton.	To the sheriff of Lancaster. Order to cause Robert de Holand to have seisin of the manors of Haghe and Blakerode, as it appears by inquisition taken by the sheriff that William de Bradeshagh, who was outlawed for felony, held them of Robert, and that they have been in the king's hands for a year and a day, and that Peter de Lymesy and Mabel his wife have had the king's year, day, and waste thereof, for which they ought to answer to the king.
	Membrane 1.
June 24. Woodstock.	To Robert de Sapy, escheator beyond Trent. Order not to intermeddle further with the hospital of St. Sepulchre near Hedon, and to restore the issues thereof to the master and brethren, which he took into the king's hands on the ground that it was of the king's foundation by reason of the earldom of Albemarle being in the king's hands, as it appears by inquisition made by him that it is not of the king's foundation nor of the foundation of any of his progenitors, by reason of the earldom aforesaid, but that it is of the foundation of William de la Twyer and his ancestors. [Inq. post Mortem, 11 Edward II., No. 66.]
	To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to allow Henry de Wylinghton, steward of Cornwall, 2,000 marks in his account at the exchequer, which sum he has paid by virtue of the king's order to pay that sum to Anthony Pessaign of Genoa or to Robert Usus Maris, his attorney in this behalf, because Anthony had undertaken to pay that sum to Amadeo, count of Savoy, as soon as the count did fealty to the king's envoys to the pope, the king having granted that sum to the count for the arrears of 200 marks yearly granted to him by the late king for his homage done to him for a certain castle of his in Savoy, on condition that he did fealty to the king's said envoys then about to go to the pope and that he came in person to do homage to the king. [Fœdera.]
July 3. Northampton.	John son of Richard Beatricesone and Adam son of Richard Beatricesone, in the king's prison at Lancaster for the death of Richard le Warener of Lathum, have letters to the sheriff of Lancaster to bail them until the next assize.
July 5. Northampton.	To the justices of the Bench. Order to proceed in the suits before them against Alan Plukenet, notwithstanding that he obtained letters of protection for a term not yet expired, containing the clauses of immunity from pleas, by asserting in the king's court that he would set out for the marches of Scotland to stay there in the king's service, as he has not set out thither in the king's service; wherefore the king is unwilling that the protection, which he obtained by suppressing the truth, should benefit him.
June 28. Woodstock.	To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to examine the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer concerning the unpaid balance of 87l. 7s. 2d., for the arrears of the account of William du Chastel when he was sheriff of Warwick and Leicester, which is exacted by summons of the exchequer of William son of Gregory (fn. 1) du Chastel, as of the heir of the said Gregory, son and heir of the aforesaid William, and to permit the said William son of Gregory to pay off the arrears at the rate of 40s. yearly, which terms the king has granted to him. By p.s. [4761.]
July 4. Northampton.	To J. bishop of Winchester and W. bishop of Exeter, principal collectors of the tenth imposed upon the clergy by the pope for the king's use. Order to pay to Andrew de Hartcla, out of the second term of the payment of the said tenth in the riding (Trithingo) of Westrithyng, co. York, 586l. 8s. 6d., which the king owes him for the wages of himself and other men at-arms keeping the marches of Carlisle when he was warden of those marches, and for recompence for certain of his horses who died in the king's service, in the eighth and ninth years of the reign, as appears by a bill under the seal of the king's clerk Richard de Feriby made in the name of W. archbishop of York, late keeper of the wardrobe. By K.
July 4. Northampton.	To Henry le Scrop and his fellows, justices to hold the king's pleas. Order to release from prison John le Baillif of Norton, chaplain, taking from him a fine for what pertains to the king for the remainder of the term of his imprisonment and for his trespass, the said John having been indicted before John de Buteturte and John de Fresyngfeld, the king's late justices to enquire what malefactors broke the king's park of Anle, and chased in it, and took and carried away deer (feras) from the same, and to hear and determine the trespasses, of which trespass he was convicted before the said justices by an inquisition upon which he had put himself, and was thereupon delivered to prison at Norwich, wherein he has been detained for more than a year, the record and process of which matter the king lately caused to come before him.
July 6. Northampton.	To the sheriff of Worcester. Order to cause proclamation to be made that a market will be held on Thursday in every week at the king's manor of Feckenham, where the king wills that a market shall be held on that day.
	By K.
July 6. Northampton.	To the abbot and convent of St. Mary's York. Order to pay, out of the money of the first term of the payment, in the diocese of York, of the tenth imposed upon the clergy by the pope for the king's use, to the king's yeoman John de Rithre, constable of the castle of Skipton-in-Cravene, 100l., in part payment of 328l. (?) 3s. 4d., which the king owes to him for the custody of the castle, as appears by bills of the wardrobe under the seal of Roger de Northburgh; notwithstanding any assignment of the above money previously made by the king to others.
July 6. Northampton.	To John de Bousser and his fellows, justices to take assizes and juries in the county of Kent. Order to permit the abbot of Battle to have cognisance of all assizes and juries arramed before them concerning lands and tenements within the liberty of the abbey, they having refused to allow him his liberty in this particular, as it was granted to the abbot and convent by charters of the king's progenitors that they should have their court for all things, and the royal dignity of treating of all matters touching their liberty, and of doing justice themselves, by reason whereof they assert that they have had heretofore cognisance of all pleas of the Crown and of other things touching them and their men, such liberty having been allowed to the abbot's predecessors before the justices of both Benches and in the eyres of justices, as appears by the record and process of William de Bereford and his fellows, justices of the Bench, and of Hervey de Staunton and his fellows, justices last in eyre in that county, which the king has caused to come before him in order to obtain fuller information.
	By K. on the information of Bartholomew de Badelesmere.
July 6. Northampton.	To Ralph de Monte Hermerii, keeper of the Forest this side Trent, or to him who supplies his place in the forest of Fekenham. Order to deliver to Richard Squier, bailiff of the king's manor of Fekenham, four oaks fit for timber from that wood for the repair of the mill of that manor, and such underwood as is necessary for making sluices of the pond of the same and of the manor.
	Mandate in pursuance to the said Richard.
