To the sheriff of Nottingham and Derby. Because the king has been
victorious in the late war against the Scots he has pardoned those who were
in his service in the said war, the suit of the king's peace which belongs to
him, for felonies and trespasses of which they are accused, and also the outlawries which have been promulgated against them on this account, as is
fully contained in the king's letters patent thereupon; and now the king
has learned from the complaint of many that certain of those whom
the king so pardoned are rendered more bold thereby to perpetrate evil
deeds, and that they propose to band themselves together and avenge themselves on the king's lieges who informed against them previously, arrested,
or otherwise molested them; the king therefore orders that sheriff to cause
proclamation of the king's peace to be made when the men whom the king
has so pardoned come to the sheriff with the king's said letters patent, until
each of them shall find sufficient mainpernors to answer for them that they
will not harm the king's lieges aforesaid who have accused them, etc., and
that they will conduct themselves well and faithfully to the king and his
people, and also to cause proclamation to be made that none of the said men
so pardoned, under pain of losing the said pardon and forfeiture of life,
members and goods, shall make illicit gatherings in fairs, markets, or other
public or private places, and shall use no armed force or do anything to
disturb the peace; and to take all those who are found doing the contrary
and keep them safely in prison, so that they may not be delivered thence
without the king's special order. By K. and C.

Memorandum that on Tuesday the feast of St. Laurence, to wit, on
10 August, 7 Edward III., John, bishop of Winchester, the chancellor, who
was about to set out to his bishopric by the king's licence, at the hour of
vespers delivered to William, archbishop of York, the great seal, in a bag
under the bishop's seal, in the chamber of the said bishop in the abbey of
St. Mary, York, where he lodged, in the presence of Master Robert de
Ayleston, archdeacon of Berks, treasurer, Sir William de Monte Acuto,
Master Henry de Clif, Sir Robert de Tanton and Sir Richard de Aldeburgh; and the said archbishop received the seal from the bishop and took
it with him to his manor of Thorp, near York, and caused the said seal to

York, where the clerks of the chancery were sitting, and caused writs de

To L. bishop of Durham. Robert de Clifford has besought the king that
whereas that bishop impleads the said Robert in his court of Sadberg, by
his writ of right, for two parts and a third part of a third of the manor of
Hert, except one acre in the said two parts and third part, and although
Robert, pleading before the bishop, alleged that Edward I. had granted
the manor of Hert, of which the said lands are part, to Robert de
Clifford, father of the said Robert, whose heir he is, which manor belonged
to Robert le Brus, the said king's enemy and a rebel, and had escheated to
the said king for that reason, and he produced the charter of Edward I. in
that court, and that he ought to answer to no one for them without the king;
yet the bishop's justices intend to proceed in that plea without consulting
the king, and to indict that charter; the king therefore orders the bishop to
continue that suit in the same state in which it now is until the next parliament, notwithstanding any order of the king to proceed with the suit, so that
the matter may be deliberated upon in the said parliament and justice done. |

To the abbot of Cîteaux and to the visitors of that order. Request

monks there and its complete destruction are to be feared unless a remedy is
quickly provided, the king having previously sent a similar request, and the
abbot having hitherto done nothing. |
