To the collectors in the port of London of the custom as well of
woollen cloth as of cloths and beds of 'worstede' and of 3d. in the
pound. Whereas, for certain liberties and quittances granted to the
merchants of the realm of Almain by charter of Edward I, confirmed
by the king, those merchants granted the said king and his heirs 2s.
of every scarlet and cloth dyed in grain, 18d. of every cloth wherein
part was of grain intermingled, 12d. of every other without grain, and
of avoirdupois and other merchandise which could not easily be set
at a fixed custom 3d. of every pound silver of estimated value upon
entry, and likewise 3d. a pound upon export, over and above the ancient
customs theretofore given, and the said king granted that no demand,
prise, prest or charge should be laid upon the persons or goods of
those merchants contrary to the charter, and likewise made order
that they should not lose these liberties or any of them for any liberty
whatsoever that he or his heirs should thereafter grant; and whereas
Edward II. by charter, likewise confirmed by the king, granted to
the said merchants, to wit those who have a house in the city of London
commonly called the Guildhall of the Teutons, that they and their
successors should be maintained and preserved in all liberties and
free customs which they enjoyed in their own or their forefathers'
time, and that no new custom should be laid upon them and their
goods; and whereas by complaint of the said merchants the king has
heard that the collectors, by virtue of an order newly made by the
king and council touching the levy of a new custom from aliens,
and of the king's commission to them addressed thereupon, are demanding of the said merchants the new custom over and above the old
customs in the said charters expressed and by them heretofore used,
namely 3s. 6d. of every cloth of scarlet and of other cloth of whole
grain, a moiety of that custom of every cloth of half grain or wherein
part was of grain intermingled, 21d. of every other cloth of assize,
and of every cloth greater or less than a cloth of assize at the same
rate, 1½d. of one whole cloth of 'worstede,' 7½d. of one single bed of
'worstede,' and 13½d. of one double bed of 'worstede,' and are causing
them to be distrained and disturbed in manifold ways, contrary to
the said charters, whereupon they have prayed the king for remedy;
because by inspection of certificates by the treasurer and the barons
of the exchequer made and sent into chancery by the king's command it is found that the said merchants, as well in the times of the
said kings as in his own, have paid and used to pay for cloths of
England exported 3d. in the pound, and it is not found that they
were charged with other customs for such cloths: order, in consideration of services by them rendered in the king's wars and elsewhere, of aids ofttimes granted in time of his need, and of the
readiness found in them beyond other alien merchants in the king's
business, to take of the said merchants of Almain upon export or
import the customs in the charters above specified and 3d. in the
pound of strait cloths, pieces of cloth which are not whole cloths of
assize, cloths and beds of 'worstede,' avoirdupois and other small
wares over and above the ancient customs paid before the making of
the said charters, and to suffer their cloths, pieces of cloth and
beds aforesaid to be imported and exported quit of the said new
customs, the said order and commission to the contrary notwithstanding. By K. and C. |

To John de Estbury, steward and representative in the Isle of
Wight of Isabel the king's daughter. Whereas lately at the suit of
the abbot of Quarr, showing that Robert son of Robert de Sorewell,
sometime lord of the manor of Sorewell, by charter (produced in
chancery) gave to the church of St. Mary Quarr and to the monks
there and to their successors all the land which lay at pasture in his
then lordship of Rugerigge, extending from the dike of Brian (fossato
Brienii) towards the east along the road leading to Carisbrook (Burgum)
to the great dike which is the division between the land of Rugerigge
and the then earl's land of Bouecombe descending towards Sloucumbe,
that all and singular his predecessors abbots of that place from the
date thereof, time out of mind, by virtue of that gift, were peaceably
seised of that pasture as of the right of their church, until Philip de
Weston late steward of the king's chamber, claiming that the pasture
belonged to the king as to his late manor of Bouecombe, without
answer or process ousted the abbot his immediate predecessor, and
that John, by colour of the king's grant to the said lady of all his
lands in the island, alleging that the same ought to belong to her
by reason of the manor so being in her hand, has hindered the abbot
from having that pasture and making his profit thereof as he used aforetime, and has withheld it to the use of the said lady, and praying the
king's aid thereupon, the king commanded John to make inquisition
touching the circumstances; and by inquisition by him so taken it
is found that the said Robert gave the pasture of la Rigge, bounded
as aforesaid, to the said church to hold to the monks and their successors for ever, and that the abbots were thereof seised until the
men and tenants of the manor aforesaid and Philip de Weston ousted
the last abbot, claiming as above rehearsed, that the same does not
pertain to the manor of Bouecombe, and no men or tenants of that
manor have pasture therein common or several, and that the said
John by colour of the king's said grant to his lady is hindering the
abbot and withholding the pasture as aforesaid: order altogether
to desist henceforth and to cause his ministers to desist from such
hindrance, intermeddling no further in the said pasture, and suffering
the abbot peaceably to have the same and the advantage thereof
according to the said gift as he was used to have. |

to come, namely for 50l. to Michaelmas next, for 25l. to Easter following, for 25l. to Michaelmas following, and so on from year to year
until all be paid, suffering him to have that respite, and to cause
the demand made upon Richard for the remaining 55l. [9]s. 7¼d.,
which the king of his sure knowledge has pardoned him, to be
altogether stayed and Richard to be thereof discharged; as Richard
has shown that he is in arrear for 355l. 9s. 7¼d. upon his account for
the time that he was sheriff, for that he could not attend to the
business by reason of infirmity, praying the king to pardon a part
thereof and respite the residue, and the king, in consideration as well
of his good service as of his manifest weakness, has of his favour and
sure knowledge granted that prayer. By K. |

at Easter and Michaelmas by even portions, until John should obtain
possession of the manor of Wodhorn, now held for life by Mary
countess of Pembroke by the king's grant with reversion to John and
his heirs after her death; as after, upon the petition of Elizabeth
who was wife of John, showing that John was slain by certain his
enemies without making a will, and his goods taken and eloigned, and
that she had nothing wherewith to support herself and her children,
out of compassion for her and in consideration of the costly services
to him ofttimes rendered by John in his life time, the king of his favour
granted by letters patent to Elizabeth and her children the same
rent with the arrears (if any) to be taken as aforesaid during the
life of the said countess; and now petition is made to the king on
behalf of John de Denton, son of the said John and Elizabeth,
showing that they are both dead and that John the son has no means
of livelihood, and praying the king to order payment of the said
yearly sum to be made to him in aid of his maintenance. |

is found that Thomas at his death held the premises in his demesne
as of fee in chief as of the honour of Peverell by the service of making
two attendances a year at the court of the honour at Duston, that
he died about Easter in the 23rd year of the reign, that Philip is his
next heir and aged 21 and more, and that Richard Blundel late
escheator by reason of his office, and after John Sauce of Norhampton
by virtue of the king's commission of the wardship thereof, have
occupied the premises from the death of Thomas; and because by
inspection of the rolls of chancery the king is assured that by letters

To William de Estbury steward in the Isle of Wight of Isabel the

showing that upon debate long since arising between Isabel de Fortibus
sometime lady of the Isle of Wight and the then abbess of Lacok
touching certain liberties claimed by the abbess as pertaining to her
manor of Shorwell, it was agreed between the parties that the abbess
should quitclaim those liberties to Isabel, that Isabel by colour thereof
granted to the abbess and convent and to their successors all amercements of their men of that manor in Isabel's court of Neuport by
their bailiffs, to be levied and delivered to the said bailiffs by estreats
of that court, that the said abbess and her successors were peaceably
seised of such amercements by virtue of that grant until John Scot
clerk, who had to farm of the king the bailiwick of the hundreds of
Estmedeine and Westmedeine in the said isle, levied and took the
same by extortion to his own use, showing further that Sibyl de Sancta
Cruce late abbess and all her predecessors time out of mind were
seised of 300 acres of pasture in their said manor as of the right of their
church, until Philip de Weston late steward of the king's chamber
wrongfully without answer and process ousted her therefrom, claiming
that the pasture pertained to the king as to his manor of Bouecombe,
and so William, by colour of the king's commission to his said lady concerning all the king's lands in the isle, has withheld as well the said
amercements as the pasture to his lady's use, and has hindered the abbess
from having free warren in her said manor granted by charter of
Henry III, the king ordered William to make inquisition touching
the premises; and whereas by inquisition, by him so made, it is found
that Isabel de Fortibus in manner rehearsed granted the said amercements to the then abbess and convent and to their successors, that
they were thereof seised until John Scot took the same, that the
said Sibyl and her predecessors were seised of the said pasture until
Philip de Weston ousted her as alleged, that the same does not pertain
to the manor of Bouecombe, nor have the men or tenants of that
manor any pasture therein common or several, that the said abbess
and her predecessors had warren in their manor of Shorewell by the
said charter, and were thereof seised from the date of that charter,
taking conies there, until John Counteville and Henry atte Doune
the king's warreners of Westrigg by extortions hindered and forbade
the abbess and convent so that they could not take their profit as
they used to do, and that William, by colour of the grant aforesaid to
his lady, is withholding the said pasture, amercements and conies
to her use: order to desist and cause his ministers to desist henceforth from such extortions and hindrances, and not to intermeddle
further with the pasture, amercements and warren, suffering the
abbess to have the same according to the said agreement, as she ought
to have and her predecessors used to have from the date thereof before
the time of such hindrance. |

To John de Bekynton escheator in Somerset. Order to deliver
to William son and heir of William de Botreaux one messuage and
20 acres of land in Northcadebury which were of Henry Trente together
with the issues thereof from the time he did homage to the king,
saving to the king the issues from the death of Margaret who was
wife of Nicholas de Moeles to that date; as the king lately ordered
the escheator to certify in chancery the cause wherefore the premises
were by him taken into the king's hand, and he certified that he so
took them by reason of alienation as in right of the said William, a
minor in the king's wardship, for that by inquisition, before him taken
of his office, he found that Margaret, who held in dower the manor of
Northcadebury in chief by knight service with reversion to the heirs
of Nicholas, demised the premises to Henry Trente for his life without
obtaining the king's licence, and that the same yet remain in the
king's hand for that Henry and Margaret are dead, and William
de Botreaux, son and heir of Isabel de Moeles daughter of John Moeles
brother of Nicholas, and cousin and heir of Nicholas, has not sued
his right therein after their death; and on 27 September in the 33rd
year of the reign William proved his age, and the king took his homage
for all the lands which William his father at his death held in chief,
as well of his own heritage as by the courtesy of England after the
death of Isabel his wife, mother of William the son whose heir he
is, as appears by inspection of the rolls of chancery. |

Elizabeth de Burgo at her death held in chief for her life of the heritage
of Elizabeth wife of John, and which were taken into the king's hand
by reason of her death; as the king has taken the homage and fealty
of John for the same by reason of issue begotten between him and
his said wife, daughter and heir of Roger Daumory tenant in chief, and
has commanded Roger de Wolfreton, escheator in Norfolk, to take
security of John and Elizabeth for payment of their relief at the exchequer, and to cause them to have the like seisin. |

To the collectors of customs in the port of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Order, if the facts alleged in a complaint of Roger Hogg merchant
of Scotland be true, to cause three sacks of wool, by them arrested
in name of distraint for custom demanded by them, to be dearrested
and delivered to Roger or to his attorney; as by the said complaint
the king has learned that whereas Roger laded certain his wool of
the growth of Scotland in a ship in Scotland to be taken to Flanders,
and the ship on its voyage thither was by stress of weather driven
for refuge to the said port, although during the whole time the ship
stayed there the wool remained without any portion thereof being
unladed or exposed for sale, the collectors demanded custom thereupon
and at the departure of the ship arrested and are detaining three sacks
as aforesaid, whereupon Roger has prayed for remedy. By C. |
