the king ordered the escheator to certify in chancery the cause
wherefore the said manor was by Thomas de Navenby late escheator
taken into the king's hand, and he returned that the said Thomas
so took it because the abbot of Melsa, to whom it was given in almoin
by King H[enry] the king's forefather, without the king's licence aliened
the same to one late abbot of Welhowe and to his successors, and that
so it is yet in the king's hand; and now the abbot of Grymesby or
Welhowe has petitioned for removal of the king's hand and livery
thereof to him and the convent, as the abbot and convent of Melsa
with licence of King Edward I gave the said manor to the said abbot
and convent of Grymesby or Welhowe and to their successors, and after
the abbot and convent last mentioned granted to the abbot and convent
of Melsa a yearly rent of 20l. 13s. 4d. to be taken of the said manor,
and the king by letters patent confirmed the said gifts and grants on
either side made, pardoning any trespasses therein committed, as the
king is assured by inspection of the rolls of chancery. It is the king's
