To Ralph de Walmere, sub-prior of Dover priory. Order to admit a
person to be deputed by W. archbishop of Canterbury to supervise along
with him the custody of the priory of St. Martin, Dover, the king having
granted the custody of the priory to the said Ralph during pleasure upon
the death of Robert, the last prior, on account of the dissension which arose
regarding the creation of his successor, because the patronage of the priory
pertained to the king, the late king having recovered in his court, in the
14th year of his reign, the advowson thereof against the prior of Holy
Trinity, Canterbury, and it is contained in the judgment (consideratione)
that the prior of Holy Trinity, who claimed in court that a monk professed
in his priory should be made prior upon every voidance of St. Martin's
priory, could not thenceforth claim anything in St. Martin's priory to make
any monk of his prior thereof, as the archbishop of Canterbury has asserted
before the king that he has right in the advowson and custody of St.
Martin's priory, and has prayed the king to render the same to him;
wherefore the king makes the present order, as he does not wish for certain
reasons that the matter should be finally determined, and as he wishes that
the goods of the priory shall be well kept and expended whilst the matter is
pending. |

where the bishop has regal rights, wreck of the sea and what pertains to
wreck of the sea, and that no animal escaped alive from the ship, and that
the bishop's ministers of the liberty seized the ship, wool and hides into
his hands as wreck of the sea, and that Thomas de Gray, constable of his
castle of Norham, sent 42 sacks of the wool to Newcastle-on-Tyne because
they could not be saved in those parts on account of the war, and the
mayor and bailiffs have returned to the king that they arrested in the said
town about 40 sacks of wool, which the bishop claimed as his, because in
the treaty lately concluded at Twedemuth between the magnates deputed
by the king and Robert de Brus the latter claimed the wool aforesaid as
belonging to him by reason of a truce previously granted, on account
of which claim Richard de Emeldon, then mayor of Newcastle, was
ordered to keep the wool safely until it were decided to whom it belonged;
and as the bishop has now besought the king to do justice to him concerning the wool, the king orders the mayor and bailiffs to restore it to the
bishop, saving the rights of the king and of others, taking security from
the bishop to answer for the wool or its price if it should be adjudged, according to the form of the truce and treaty aforesaid, to those of Scotland. |

Jerusalem in England and their villeins had at Michaelmas last in that
county had not been taxed to the eighteenth like the moveable goods of
others of the community of the county, he ordered the taxors and collectors
to cause their goods aforesaid to be taxed to the eighteenth according to the
form of the taxation and to cause the money thence arising to be paid into
the exchequer, notwithstanding any mandate to the contrary, the king now
orders them to supersede until further orders the levying of the eighteenth

that they certify the treasurer and barons of the amount due from the prior
and brethren for the eighteenth and that the goods of their villeins
previously taxed by virtue of the aforesaid order shall not be again taxed,

Winchester, then treasurer, and the chamberlains of the exchequer, which
sum the king promised by his letters patent to pay to the prior out of the
eighteenth at Martinmas last, and the prior has suggested to the king that

whereof William was seised in his demesne as of fee at the time of his
