To the mayor and sheriffs of London. Whereas lately at the suit of
John de Herpesfeld of London, spicer, showing that he was taxed for all
his goods and chattels in that city towards the fifteenth last granted there,
and was usually taxed, in the ward of Chepe, and faithfully paid the
portion falling to him to the collectors in that ward, and the subcollectors
appointed by the collectors to levy and collect the fifteenth in the ward of
Douegate have unjustly distrained him to pay that fifteenth again, the king
ordered the collectors, if they should find that John paid the fifteenth as
aforesaid, to supersede the demand made upon him by the said subcollectors,
and to release the distraint, and afterwards, because the collectors did not
fully execute that order, as the king has learned from John's complaint,
the king ordered those collectors, to wit Thomas Broun, John Deyn, James
de Thame and Henry de Ware, to be in chancery on a certain day now
past, to inform him upon the premises, and although they appeared and
acknowledged that John fully paid the portion of the fifteenth falling to
him in the ward of Chepe, yet the said sheriffs, at the sinister suggestion
of the said subcollectors and by the malicious procurement of his enemies
showing that he had refused to pay the portion falling to him in the ward
of Douegate, had caused his houses, goods and chattels to be sequestrated
and his body to be attached and imprisoned, charging John with having
broken the sequestration and with not permitting the attachment judged
upon him, by their serjeants and ministers, although he is in no way guilty
therein, whereupon John has petitioned the king to provide a remedy:
order, if the sequestration and attachment were made for the causes
aforesaid, not to permit John to be aggrieved upon such occasions, releasing
any goods and chattels or security of his mainpernors taken by them. |

Enrolment of indenture made between the king and James de Audeley,
lord of Helegh, witnessing that whereas by a fine levied in the king's court
before John de Stonore and his fellows, justices at Westminster, three weeks
from Michaelmas in the 27th year of the reign, between the said James,
demandant and Hugh de Newehalle, parson of Blakedon church, and
Roger Magot, vicar of Fremyngton church, deforciants, of the manors of
Blakedon, Lideford and Staunton near Dunsterden and the advowsons
of the churches of the manors of Blakedon and Lideford, co. Somerset,
the manors of Bovytracy, Northleu, Holdesworthy and Langatre and the
advowson of the churches of the manors of Northleu and Holdesworthy,
co. Devon, and the manor of Takkebere, co. Cornwall, whereupon a plea of
covenant was summoned between them in that court, to wit that James
acknowledged the said manors and advowsons to be the right of Hugh
and Roger, of which they shall hold the manors of Blakedon, Staunton,
Bovytracy, Northleu, Holdesworthy and Takkebere and the advowsons of
the churches of the manors of Blakedon, Northleu and Holdesworthy
of James's gift, and for this acknowledgment, fine and agreement Hugh
and Roger granted the said manors and advowsons to James and rendered
them to him in that court, to hold the manors of Blakedon, Bovytracy,
Northleu, Holdesworthy and Takkebere and the advowsons of the churches
of the manors of Blakedon, Northleu and Holdesworthy of the king, and
the manor of Staunton of the chief lords of that fee, for James's life,
and Hugh and Roger further granted that the manor of Lideford and the
advowson of the church of that manor, which Humphrey Tromwyn held
for life, and the manor of Langatre which Margaret late the wife of William
Martyn held in dower of the inheritance of Hugh and Roger on the day on
which this agreement was made, with reversion to them after the death of
Humphrey and Margaret should remain to James to hold for life, with
reversion to the king at his death, and although, for the greater security of
the reversion of the manor of Lideford and the advowson of the church
there, James afterwards granted by deed to the king a yearly rent of
100 marks issuing from James's manor and lordship of Llannandevry,
co. Kermerdyn in Wales, to be received at Easter and Michaelmas in equal
portions, yet the king grants that if James make the king secure within
the two years next following of the reversion of the manor of Lideford or of
that manor to hold immediately, discharged of all rents and other charges
after the death of James and Humphrey, except the rents, services and
charges due to the lords of the fee and others due before the date of the
said fine, then the said deed for the rent of 100 marks shall be null, and if
James die within the two years without making such security and his heirs
refuse to make such security within the two years, then the deed shall
remain in force. Dated Westminster, 20 November, 28 Edward III. |

beyond the price at which it is sold in the port and in towns up to 25 miles
further distant, it shall be sold for 1d. beyond the said price and no more,
until wine is more abundant and may be sold for a less price; order upon
sight of these presents, to cause all the premises to be proclaimed and
observed, forbidding taverners and vintners to sell wine contrary to this
ordinance upon pain of forfeiture, and if they find any doing the contrary
after the proclamation, to arrest all their wine without delay and keep it

To the mayor and sheriffs of London. Order to cause the decision of
the king and his council concerning the sale of wine to be proclaimed in
that city and its suburbs and to forbid all vintners, taverners and other
traffickers of wine to keep their wine hidden in cellars or other places, but
to expose them publicly for sale and sell them without fraud at the
appointed rate, and if, after the proclamation, they find any selling wine
at a dearer price than the said rate, to take the wine into the king's hand
as forfeit and cause answer to be made to the king for such wine or the
price thereof, and if they find by inquisition or otherwise that vintners,
taverners or others retain their wines and will not sell them at the appointed
price or below, if they are worth less, to enter the places where such wine
is retained and publicly expose it for sale, as often as is necessary, certifying
the king from time to time of the wine so forfeited and the value thereof;
and of the names of the owners and of the vintners and others refusing to
sell as aforesaid, as it was lately ordained by the king and council that in
all the counties, ports and places of England from the port of Southampton
to the north and in the town of Southampton, the gallon of wine should
not be sold above 6d. and in all ports from the town of Southampton
towards the west, as well in the counties of Southampton, Somerset, Dorset,
Gloucester, Cornwall, and Devon as in Wales, the gallon should not be sold
above 5d., and in places up to 25 miles inland at ½d. beyond what it is sold
at the port from which it is taken, and at 1d. beyond in places up to 25
miles further inland, until wine is more abundant and cheaper, and the king
caused the premises to be proclaimed throughout England, and now the
king has learned that, although a great quantity of wine has come to
England, yet the vintners, in whose hands it is, retain it in their possession
and refuse to expose it publicly for sale, but sell it secretly in gross at a
price beyond that ordained, contrary to the aforesaid ordinance, and after
deliberation with the Council it has been determined that all vintners,
taverners and other dealers in wine shall expose their wine for public sale
at the price ordained and no more upon pain of for feiture of the wine, and
if they neglect to do so then the lords of towns, mayors, wardens, bailiffs
or other presidents in the towns shall enter the taverns and cellars where
such wine is deposited, even if the owners are unwilling, and shall cause
that wine to be exposed for sale and to be sold at the constituted price and
no more. By K. and C. |

Durham had writs under the seal of their chancery of Durham and their
own justices and cognisance of pleas and all royal jurisdiction in their
manor of Creyk, co. York, as fully as within the liberty of their bishopric,
without the king or his ministers intermeddling with the men and tenants
of the manor or with aught else within the manor and lordship, and that
the said men and tenants have not been accustomed to contribute to tenths,
fifteenths or other quotas and aids granted to the king by the community
of the realm, with that community, by reason of the said liberty, then to
supersede the exaction made upon the men and tenants there for 10l. for
the ninth of sheaves, fleeces and lambs, as Thomas, bishop of Durham, has
shown the king that whereas he and his predecessors have enjoyed such
liberties in the said manor, from time out of mind, unless the bishop for
the time being should make default in justice, and although the bishop
and the men and tenants of the manor have not been taxed with the
taxations or tallages granted in times past and have not been wont to
contribute to the charges borne by the men of the county, yet the sheriff
of York is causing the men and tenants of that manor to be distrained to
pay 10l. for the ninth, whereupon the bishop has petitioned the king

hobelers or archers for the king's service to parts beyond the sea, or for
paying any sums of money for that cause, for the time that he was upon
the safe keeping of the realm in the march of Scotland, as in the 20th year
of the reign, while the king was in parts beyond the sea with his army,
William was making continual stay upon the said duty against the

power until the king's return to England, and was present sufficiently

To the steward and others of the council of Queen Philippa. Whereas
John, king of England, granted by charter to William de Moriston that he
and his heirs might hold of the king all the tenement which he so held in
the hundred of Middleton for 50s. yearly and certain other services in
'gavelkynde,' doing thenceforth the service of a knight's fee for all
service, and that king also granted by the same charter that William and
his heirs should be quit thenceforward of the said 50s. yearly and all other
services which used to be performed of the said tenement except that of a
knight's fee, and on 12 October in the 5th year of his reign the present
king gave licence that the manor of Esthall, co. Kent, which was held in
chief, it was said, should remain, after the death of Lapinus Roger and Joan
his wife, to James, Lapinus's son, and to the heirs of his body, and
afterwards on 24 May in the 7th year of the reign, the king granted to the
queen the manor of Middelton with the hundreds and its other appurtenances
in Kent, to hold for life, together with the knights' fees and advowsons
pertaining thereto, and on the 13 May last the king took James's homage
for the manor of Esthall, and by a certificate of the exchequer sent into
chancery it is found that William de Moriston held by the service of a
knight's fee the tenement which he held of the king's progenitors, kings of
England, in the hundred of Middelton, whereof he used to render 50s. yearly
as part of the ferm of the body of the county, and in the account of
Reynold de Cornellia, then sheriff, that he had an allowance for William
de Moriston of the 50s. which William used to render for the said tenement,
by a fine which he made with the said progenitors to do the service of a
knight's fee for every service: the king notifies the steward and others of
the premises, so that after inspecting and examining the same and hearing
the reasons of James, they may further proceed to his discharge from the
fealty to the queen for the manor of Esthall which he so holds of the king. |

To S. archbishop of Canterbury. Notification that he may do what
pertains to his office in regard to the chapel of Bosham and its ministers,
abstaining from anything to the prejudice of the king and his crown, as
although the late king, understanding that the chapelry of Bosham, which
W. then bishop of Exeter held so far as concerned the choir, the college,
collations of prebends, institution and destitution of canons, and the persons
of the canons and their goods pertaining to their prebends, and was and
had of old been free and exempt from all ordinary jurisdiction, forbad the
then bishop of Chichester to attempt anything to the prejudice of the bishop
of Exeter or his chapelry aforesaid, by exercising ordinary jurisdiction there,
nevertheless because at the petition of the bishop of Chichester, exhibited
before the king and his council, who deliberated thereupon, it was found
that the writ was not in due form, especially because the said king asserted
that the chapelry not being in his own hand but in that of the bishop of
Exeter, was free and exempt, the king revoked and annulled that writ and
notified the bishop of Chichester to do what belonged to him, notwithstanding the said prohibition, as is found by inspection of the late king's
chancery rolls; and now the king has learned from the archbishop that
whereas he is visiting the diocese of Chichester and wishes to exercise the
office of visitation in that chapel, being in the said diocese, and upon the
ministers of the chapel, and to reform the defects found there, certain
persons pretending that it was the king's free chapel and exempt from all
ordinary jurisdiction have procured a writ prohibiting the bishop from
attempting anything to the king's prejudice, whereupon the archbishop
has abstained from the office of visitation in the chapel, and upon his
petition, and in consideration of the revocation made by the late king as
aforesaid. |

To the sheriffs of London. Order to cause John de Wendovere, citizen

Gayton, their serjeant, at the suit of Bernard Diose, citizen and vintner of
that city, asserting that John was bound to him in 73l. 13s. 4d. and whom
they keep imprisoned because he was condemned in that debt in the court
of the Gyhalde, London, to be brought to the staple of Westminster and
there delivered to the mayor and constable of that staple, as it has been
proved before the king's council that John was arrested by the said serjeant
from the custody of John de Stodeye, to whom he was delivered on bail
upon hope of making an agreement between the parties, by the mayor
and constable of the said staple, before whom he was previously
condemned in certain debts acknowledged by him to Matthew
Forteger and others in accordance with the ordinance of the staple, and
was so brought before the sheriffs and committed to prison, and it has
been determined by the council that John shall be taken back to the
staple, and delivered to the mayor and constable and to keep until he has
satisfied Matthew and the others for the said debts, so that thereafter he
may be delivered again to the sheriffs to stay in prison in the form in
which he is now detained. |

To the sheriff of Worcester. Order to take into the king's hand a rent of
4s. yearly, and to cause the arrears thereof to be levied of certain burgages, and
to deliver the rent and arrears to John de Bello Campo, to whom the king
has committed the custody of the priory of Astele and of all the lands pertaining thereto, as on its being found by inquisition taken by Leo de
Perton, escheator in that county, that a burgage in the city of Worcester in
the street called 'Eport' which formerly belonged to John Clethe, chaplain,
and which William le Cartere now holds, used to render 4s. yearly to the
prior of Astele, whose lands and possessions were taken into the king's
hand among those of the alien religious of the power of France, by reason
of the war, and that the rent is in arrear for three years, and that another
burgage in the same street, which John le Lenche formerly held, and
which William le Walker now holds, used to render 5s. yearly to the prior,
and that the said rent is in arrear for 1½ years, the king ordered the sheriff to
notify the said William and William to be in chancery on the octaves of
Midsummer last, to show cause why they should not answer for the said
rents and the arrears thereof and further to do and receive what the king's
court should determine, and the sheriff returned that he had caused a
return of the king's writ to be made by Richard de Bromwych and John
Spelly, bailiffs of the liberties of Osewoldeslowe and of the town of
Worcester, who have the returns of all the king's writs and the execution
thereof, and those bailiffs gave no answer to the sheriff, and the king
subsequently ordered him to enter the liberties and notify William and
William to be in chancery on the octaves of Michaelmas last, to show cause
the form aforesaid, and they were notified and did not come when called. |

To Simon de Cudyngton, late escheator in Sussex. Order not to intermeddle further with the lands taken into the king's hand by the death of
Eva late the wife of Edward de Sancto Johanne, delivering up the issues
thereof received from the time of her death, as the king has learned by
inquisition taken by the said escheator that Eva at her death held no lands
in her demesne as of fee in chief in that bailiwick whereby the wardship of
her lands ought to pertain to the king. |

To J. archbishop of Dublin, chancellor of Ireland. Order, if Elizabeth
daughter and heir of David de Caunton, knight, tenant in chief, has proved
her age, to take the fealty of Maurice fitz Johan fitz Nichol, who has married
her, and to direct the escheator in Ireland to cause Maurice and Elizabeth
to have seisin of all the lands whereof David was seised in Ireland at his
death, in his demesne as of fee, as at the suit of John son of Nicholas de
Kery showing the king that all the lands in Ireland which belonged to David,
in the king's hand by reason of the minority of David's heir, delivered to
John to hold until the heir should come of age, had been seised again into
the king's hand at an untruthful suggestion made to the king and his council
in England, the king ordered the chancellor to certify him upon the method
and process of the retaking of those lands, and upon the tenor of the
inquisition taken thereupon after David's death, by writ of diem clausit
extremum, and the archbishop sent the tenor of the inquisition before the
king and returned that on inspection of the rolls and memoranda of the
chancery of Ireland it was not found that any writ had been sent from
England to take the said lands into the king's hand again, and no process
for any such retaking, and for fuller information the justiciary of Ireland
was directed to inspect the rolls and memoranda of his place and to
certify in the chancery of Ireland if anything should be found thereupon,
and he returned that he had not found any such writ, record or process and
that it was said in the king's council of Ireland that Maurice Caunton,
David's father, whose heir he was, either forfeited for riding to war
with his banner displayed, against the king's banner of Ireland, or
was outlawed for that cause, and it is not found in the king's courts of
Ireland by what process David came to the lands which belonged to his
father, but it is believed that he did his homage in England and had
restitution thereof there, and that the truth may be ascertained by the rolls
of the chancery of England, and nevertheless the lands were lately taken
into the king's hand by the death and by reason of the forfeiture of David
son of William de Caunton, nephew of the said David de Caunton, who
feloniously killed the said David and intruded into those lands after David's
death, and now Maurice and Elizabeth have appeared before the king and
his council beseeching the king to order those lands to be delivered to them,
as Elizabeth has proved her age, and it is found by inquisition that David
de Caunton held certain of the lands in chief and certain of others than
the king, that Elizabeth is his daughter and heir, and that the lands were
taken into the king's hand by reason of her minority, it not being found
by any process of record that the lands ought to be forfeit by reason of
the forfeiture of David de Caunton or of Maurice his father or could
be forfeit by the felony of David son of William. |
