lately wrote to him and requested him by his envoys to restore the portions
of the counties of Provence and Forcalquier (Folcatarii) due to the king
by inheritance, but at present the king has no certain knowledge of the will
of the king of Jerusalem and Sicily; he has therefore caused to be sent to
the king of Jerusalem Master Adam Myrymouth, J.C.P., canon of Hereford,
to whom the king has fully expressed his will upon these matters and upon
others near the king's heart in the Roman court, and he requests the king of
Jerusalem to cause the aforesaid portions to be restored amicably, in consideration of their near kinsmanship, and that he will give credence to what
Master Adam shall say to him on the king's behalf, and that he will prosecute before the pope those things that the king has prayed for, and that he

To him who supplies the place of the constable of Dover and of the

him, by letters under the great seal and by letters under the privy seal, to
cause diligent search to be made in the aforesaid ports of all letters coming
into the realm from parts beyond sea and going from this realm to parts
beyond sea, and to send to the king all those that are prejudicial to him
or the right of the crown, or that are suspected of being so, before execution of them be done, in which matter he has been negligent, as the king
learns by experience, especially as many letters with bulls and other letters
from parts beyond sea were afterwards brought into the realm; the king
therefore orders him, under pain of grievous forfeiture, to cause such
diligent search to be made in the ports aforesaid for such letters brought
into, or sent out of the realm that no letters under bulls or other letters
prejudicial to the king or the right of his crown shall be brought into the

To the same. Whereas the king has frequently ordered him to make
diligent search for letters as above, and, notwithstanding these orders,
many letters have been since brought into the realm and presented to the
king that are prejudicial to the king and his crown and to others of his
realm, of which letters the king had not been previously warned by him,
whereby it is evident that he has been remiss and negligent in the execution
of the above orders, and the king is now given to understand that Roger de
Mortuo Mari of Wygemor, who lately escaped from prison in the Tower
of London and went to parts beyond sea, and other rebels who have
escaped to parts beyond sea and many others suspected by the king have
sent divers letters into the realm, and send them day by day, whereby many
perils may arise; the king therefor orders him, under pain of grievous forfeiture, to cause diligent search to be made of all letters brought into the
realm from parts beyond sea and sent thither from the realm, and if the said
Roger or others of the king's enemies aforesaid come to any parts of his
bailiwick or send letters into the realm, he is to arrest them or the said
letters, and to send the letters to the king, and to arrest all persons bringing letters into the realm from any suspects or carrying the same to parts
beyond sea. By K. |

charter, and that he afterwards demised the manor to the said Bartholomew
for life and for two years after his death for the execution of his will,
rendering therefor to Gilbert 8 marks yearly, and that Isabella accepted the
demise after Gilbert's death, and that she received the said sum yearly from
Bartholomew from St. Nicholas, 20 (sic) Edward I., until St. Barnabas, in the
15th year of the present reign, when the manor was taken into the king's
hands by reason of Bartholomew's adherence to certain rebels, and that she
received the 8 marks in name of dower, in form aforesaid. If the manor
