a messuage in Croschepyng in Coventry, restoring the issues thereof to the
prior, as it is found by inquisition taken by William Erneys, late escheator in
these counties, before himself and Roger la Zousche, that Richard son of
Thomas de Merston, who was hanged for felony, held that messuage of
the prior by the service of 6d. yearly: and that the prior after Richard's
death entered the messuage as his escheat and not with any other title or
colour against the form of the statute of mortmain, and so held the messuage
for 8 years until the king laid hands on it, and that the prior ought to
answer to the king for the year, day and waste thereof, and that the messuage
is worth 6s. 8d. yearly in all issues [as at page 409 above], and the prior

himself and his ministers of the said exchanges for the surplus of his accounts
at the exchequer for the issues of those accounts and for the king's money

Vescy, the manors of Thoreswaya, Styveton, Lyndewode and Welburn,
co. Lincoln, and the advowson of the church of the manor of Cailthorp,
co. Lincoln, together with the issues of the manors from the time of Isabella's
death, because the king has learned by inquisition taken by John de
Bolyngbrok, late escheator in these counties, that Isabella, at her death, held
no lands of the king in chief in that bailiwick in her demesne as of fee, but
that she held the said manors for life only, and that the manors of Thoreswaia, Styveton and Lyndewod are held by barony, and the manor of
Welburn as parcel of the barony of Bayeux, of the king in chief as of the
crown; and by certain letters patent of Edward I., shown before the king
in chancery, it appears that Isabella held the manor of Welburn for life by
the grant of Edward I., with remainder after her death to Henry and the
heirs of his body; and by other letters patent of the late king, also shown
before the king in chancery, it appears that Isabella held the manors of
Thoreswaya, Styveton and Lyndewod with the said advowson for life by
the late king's grant, with remainder, after her death, to Henry and Alice
his wife and the heirs of Henry's body, and the king has taken the homage
of Henry, due to him in this respect. By p.s.[8739.] |

king for divers causes both in the time of the king and of his father, if
Andrew shall find them sufficient security for answering for that sum at the
exchequer as follows, as Andrew has besought the king to grant him an
attermination, as he is so impoverished by the loss of two ships and other of
his goods, and by the damage which he sustained in the late king's service in
the time of war between the late king and the king of France, that he cannot
now pay that money without the depression of his estate; and for the above
considerations and for Andrew's good service to the king and his father, the
king has granted that he shall pay 10l. yearly until the debt be fully
discharged. By C. |

that county, of 8l. at the exchequer, which the king has pardoned the said
men of that 60l. at which they were assessed for the said fifteenth, provided
that answer shall be made to the king for the residue of that sum, as the
said men have besought the king to pardon them a part of the said 60l., as
a great part of their lands there are flooded and much damaged by the tides
(fluxus) of sea water and other intolerable tempests which happened several
times in the winter now last past, and those men are much depressed for
this cause and other divers misfortunes, yet they were assessed at 60l. in the
last taxation of the fifteenth, to wit, at a much greater sum than they were
wont to pay in other taxations; and because it was testified before the
council that those men had sustained such damage by the bad weather, as
aforesaid, the king pardoned them the said 8l. By K. and C. |

To Gilbert Talebot, justice of South Wales, or to him who supplies his
place. Because the king has learned by inquisition taken by the justice and
Owen de Mongomery that the stewards, constables, reeves, and bedels of
Cantremaure and Cardiganshire were wont to make distraints, attachments
and other such offices of stewards, etc., within the said stewardships and
outside baronies, without a writ issuing, without bedels of barons, within the
stewardships and outside baronies, intermeddling with the execution thereof,
from the time of the conquest of Wales to the time when Roger de Mortuo
Mari, late earl of March, was justice of Wales, in which time the said
bedels made such attachments and distraints by Roger's orders, which the
men of Cantremaure and Cardiganshire did not not then dare to resist; and
that it is not to the king's prejudice or that of others if the said stewards
make and pursue attachments, etc., without writ, concerning those which
issue within those stewardships; and that the bedels of the barons of co.
Kermerdyn and Estrattewy are bound to make attachments, etc., touching co.
Kermerdyn of the lands of barons and within baronies, and issuing there, as
well by bills as by writs, and to levy the issues thereof, and they also ought and
were wont to make executions of all writs of the king, both within stewardships and baronies, but they ought not to levy the issues of writs nor be charged
therewith, because the reeves and bedels of the commotes within these steward
ships and without baronies ought and were wont to answer therefor in the
exchequer of Kermerdyn upon their accounts; the king therefore orders the
justice to cause the said bedels of barons to desist from making such attachments, etc. without writ, as aforesaid, otherwise than they ought to make
them, and than they and other bedels of those baronies were wont to do from
the time of the conquest of Wales, and to permit the said stewards, etc., of
Cantremaure and Cardiganshire to make and pursue such attachments, etc.,
of these things which issue in those stewardships and outside the baronies,
as they ought and were wont to make and pursue them, saving always the
right of the barons. By C. |

to provide him a remedy, as divers goods and chattels which belonged to
Robert had been eloigned and withdrawn by divers men, and several
bailiffs and ministers of the same, who were bound to render accounts to
Robert, declined and refused to render such accounts; and in order that
William might answer to the king thereupon, with William's assent and
for the king's indemnity in this respect, the king appointed John to enquire
by the oath of lawful men of cos. York, Lincoln, Nottingham, Bedford,
Middlesex, Northampton, Southampton, London, Surrey, Berks, Somerset
Dorset, Cornwall and Devon, concerning the aforesaid matters, and to keep

demised by his indenture to the then master and brethren of the Knights
Templars in England a messuage, 8 tofts, 10 bovates of land and 5 acres
of meadow in Attelowe to hold for a term of thirty-one years, as fully
appeared by the other part of that deed under the seal of the master of the
Temple, which William and Alice have in their possession, and exhibited
before the king in chancery, and the said term had elapsed, and the messuage,
tofts, land, and meadow are in the king's hand by reason of the annulling of the
said order, and beseeching the king to provide a remedy, the king appointed
Robert de Coigners, Thomas de Shefeld, and Thomas de Manneby, to
inquire upon the premises; and afterwards, because during the discussion of
the said affair before the king in chancery, Walter died, wherefore Alice de
Hemelsey daughter and heir of Walter, as is said, has besought the king
to provide her a remedy, and the king sent to the justices sub pede sigilli
divers petitions of Walter and of Alice daughter of Adam, exhibited before
the king and his council in divers parliaments, and the said inquisition
returned into chancery and also a certificate of the treasurer and barons of
the exchequer and of the chamberlains there, sent by the king's order into
chancery, ordering the justices to cause speedy justice to be done to Alice
and Alice upon the contents of these petitions, after having inspected the
petitions, inquisition and certificate, and heard the plaint of Alice and Alice
in his respect, and having called before them the king's serjeants and others
who should be called in this respect; and now on the part of Alice and
Alice it is shown to the king that although, the process being continued
before the king upon the premises, it is found by inquisition in which Adam
de Fyncheham, who follows for the king in this respect, and the said Alice
and Alice by their attorneys placed themselves before the king, that Adam
Arundel, ancestor of Alice and Alice, whose heirs they are, demised the said
tenements to William de la More, formerly master of the Knights Templars
in England and to the brethren of the order to hold for thirty-one years,
by an indenture made between Adam and the master and brethren, and
that the term is now elapsed and was four years ago, and by the certificate
of the treasurer and barons and chamberlains, and by the certificate of the
prior of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem in England, by virtue of the
king's orders to inspect the deeds, muniments and memoranda of the Templans touching that affair sent before king, it is not found that the
Templars ever had any state in those tenements except for a term of years,
yet the justices have hitherto delayed to proceed to render judgment upon
the premises; whereupon Alice and Alice have besought the king by their
petition before the king and his council to provide a remedy; the king
therefore orders the justices to proceed to render judgment upon the
premises with all possible lawful speed, notwithstanding that the said lands
are in the king's hand, and that during the process Walter had died, as is
said. By C. |

then clerk of the great wardrobe, as may fully appear by a bill made thereupon under Thomas's seal, which the executrix has in her possession, as she
says, for which 17l. 13s. 11½d. no payment has yet been made to Thomas
or to his executrix; the king therefore orders the treasurer and chamberlains
to pay 17l. 13s. 11½d. to the executrix for the execution of the will, having
viewed the said bill and inspected the rolls and memoranda of the king's
receipt touching such payment, if they shall find that no payment of that
money has been made to Thomas or his executrix, receiving the said bill
from the executrix and discharging Thomas of that sum towards the king. |

To Walter de Hungreford, escheator in cos. Surrey, Sussex, Kent and
Middlesex. Order not to intermeddle further with 10 acres of land in
Kensyngton, restoring the issues thereof, as the king ordered William de
Northo, late escheator in those counties, to inform him why he had taken
that land into the king's hand, and William returned that he had not so
taken it, but that William Trussel, late escheator beyond Trent, took into
the king's hand a croft called 'Ronsevalcroft,' containing 10 acres of land,
which are the same 10 acres which John de Cantebrigg now claims, and he
delivered it to William by indenture, asserting that he had taken it into the
king's hand because the brethren of the hospital of Ronc[eval], who held the
croft of the king in chief, totally abandoned, it and that Simon de Kensyngton afterwards occupied it without the king's licence; and afterwards the
king, being informed that the 10 acres are not held of him in chief but of
John, earl of Oxford, by rendering to him certain services yearly, ordered
William de Northo to take an inquisition upon the premises, by which it
is found that the said 10 acres are not held of the king in chief, but of the
said earl by the service of rendering 6d. yearly for every service. By C. |

To William de Clapham, escheator in cos. York, Northumberland, Cumberland and Westmorland. Order not to intermeddle further with two tofts
and 3 bovates of land in Barton in Rydale, permitting Henry Freman
to hold them of William, bishop of Norwich, by the service of rendering
12½d. yearly, until further orders, restoring the issues thereof to Henry, as
the escheator returned that he had taken those tofts and the land into the
king's hand because he had found by inquisition of office that Henry de Grey,
who held the manor of Barton in Rydale in chief of Edward I. alienated the
said tofts and land in fee to Adam de Evyngton without the licence of Edward
I.; and the king ordered the escheator to take an inquisition on the matter,
by which it is found that Henry de Grey, sometime lord of that manor, who
held it in chief of Edward I., alienated the said tofts and land thereof to
Adam father of Henry Freman of Barton, whose heir he is, and to Adam's
heirs, for ever, to be held of Henry de Grey and his heirs, rendering to
Henry de Grey 12½d. yearly for every service, without the licence of
Edward I. in the 5th year of his reign; and the king wishes to do special
favour to the bishop of Norwich, now lord of that manor. By C. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause Thomas
de Bradeston, keeper of the land of the heir of Edmund son of Edmund,
late earl of Kent, to be discharged and acquitted of 4l. 2s. 22/9d. of
that 18l. 9s. 10d. at which the manor of Barndesleye is extended, in
150l. 13s. 8d., to be rendered to the king at the exchequer, from the
time that Eleanor, late the wife of Herbert son of John son of Reginald
had obtained her seisin of a third part of two parts of that manor, as
she lately sought in the king's court, before the justices of the Bench,
against Thomas, a third part of two parts of that manor, with which
Herbert dowered her with the assent of John his father, at the door of the
church, when he married her, and Thomas, pleading before the justices
alleged that he held those two parts, together with other manors which
belonged to the earl, tenant in chief, and which by reason of the minority
of the earl's heir were taken into the king's hand, by the king's grant until
the heir should come of age, and that he ought not to answer Eleanor
without consulting the king; upon which pretext the justices delayed to
proceed with that plea; wherefore, at the suit of Eleanor, the king
ordered the justices to proceed in the discussion of that plea and do justice
to the parties, notwithstanding the said allegation; and Eleanor recovered
her seisin of that third part against Thomas in the month of Easter last, by
the consideration of the court, as appears by the tenor of the record and
process held thereupon before the justices, which the king caused to be
brought before him in chancery; and now Thomas has besought the king to
order him to be discharged of the extent of that third part from the time of
the said recovery, as he had held that third part with the other two parts
and the said manors for rendering 150l. 13s. 8d. thereupon at the exchequer, by virtue of the king's said commission. |

To the same. Order to cause Edmund Hakelut to be discharged and
acquitted of the extent of the manor of Upleden, co. Hereford, and of the
account for the issues of the manor and of the issues, charging those whom
they shall find by inquisition or otherwise to have had the custody of
that manor at that time, with the said custody; as the late king committed
that manor to Edmund to hold under a certain form, and afterwards,
because the king learned from trustworthy testimony that Edmund received
no issues or profits from the manor at any time, and not wishing that he
should be charged for rendering an account to the king for the issues of
the manor at the exchequer by reason of the said commission, the king
acquitted him thereof, as is fully contained in the king's letters patent
thereupon; wherefore the king several times ordered the treasurer and
barons to supersede the demand which they made upon Edmund for rendering his account or for the issues of that manor for the king's use and
to cause him to be released and discharged thereof, and if there was any
cause why they should not do this, to inform the king of that cause
without delay; and the treasurer and barons returned that the manor of
Upleden, which belonged to the Templars, was committed to Edmund on
4th November, in the 5th year of the late king's reign, to hold from
Michaelmas then last past, during pleasure, rendering to the king the extent
of that manor, with which extent Edmund is charged at the exchequer; and
for that reason 96l. 7s. 2d. are exacted from Edmund for the arrears of that
extent, and that no other account is exacted from him for the issues of
the manor, and therefore for that cause, and because it is not known who
ought to be charged with the custody of the manor from the said Michaelmas if Edmund is not, they did not proceed to Edmund's discharge thereof;
and it is not the king's intention that he shall be charged with the said
extent, because he has never received any issues or profits from the manor. |

Whereas the king lately appointed John de Briggewauter, his clerk, to cause
two ships of war to be prepared in the port of Dertmuth, with mariners and
armed men and other things necessary for war, to set out thence upon
the sea to meet a certain great ship charged with wine, armour and other
merchandise sent from parts beyond to the castle of Dumbretayn in
Scotland, as is fully contained in the letters patent thereupon, and caused
100s. to be delivered to John from the treasury upon his wages, and John
set out in the king's service by reason of that order, and has certified to the
king in chancery of all his doings in this respect, and has besought the
king to order account to be made with him upon his expenses in the said
journey; the king therefore orders the treasurer, barons and chamberlains
to receive John's account in this respect, 3s. being allowed to him for every
day which they shall find him to have spent in that service in going to
those parts, staying there, and returning thence to the king, and orders the
treasurer and chamberlains to pay to John from the treasury what they
shall find to be due to him for such expenses beyond the said 100s. |

the prior of St. Mary's, Carlisle, collector of the last tenth granted to the
king by the clergy of the province of York, in the bishopric of Carlisle,
for rendering to the king his account for the said tenth according to the
ancient tax, accounting with him for that tenth according to the new tax,
as the prior has shown the king that whereas the tenth was granted to the
king by the clergy according to the new tax of their benefices, which were
taxed anew, and not otherwise, and the prior levied that tenth from the
clergy of the bishopric according to the new tax, and is ready to answer to
the king for the same; yet the treasurer and barons intend to compel the prior
to answer to the king in his account for that tenth according to the ancient
tax; and it was testified before the king and council in the last parliament at
York by W. archbishop of York that the tenth is granted to the king by the
clergy according to the new tax and not otherwise. By pet. of C. |

by virtue of the king's orders, having viewed the king's writs and the
indentures made in this respect, receiving from John de Tycheburn the
said writs and indentures, as the king ordered the sheriff of Wilts, by writ
of privy seal, to pay 20l. to John de Harnham upon the making of a pond
in the king's park of Claryndon from the issues of his bailiwick, and by
another writ likewise ordered him to pay to Richard Bloundel, bounder of

'courtepy' yearly from the said issues. |

in most need of repair to be repaired and amended up to the sum of 40l. by
the view and testimony of Henry de Roston and Adam de Semere, and the
king has ordered the bailiffs and lawful men of Scardeburgh to pay to
Philip 80l. for those repairs of those 91l. which they ought to pay to the
king for the ferm of that town at Michaelmas next, because the king has
learned that there are divers defects in the castle, in towers, turrets, houses,
bridges and other erections there, and that he may easily suffer no small
damage unless they be speedily repaired and amended. By C. |

islands of Guer[nereye] and Jers[eye] to be repaired without delay by the
view and testimony of William de la Rue and John Moyne from the issues

the costs which they shall incur in repairing those castles, up to 100 marks
sterling, by the view and testimony of William and John, because the king

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Elizabeth de Burgo, the
king's kinswoman, one of the sisters and third of the heirs of Gilbert de
Clare, late earl of Gloucester and Hertford, tenant in chief of the late king,
has shown the king that whereas she holds divers lands of the said inheritance in her purparty assigned to her in the late king's chancery, in
which assignment no mention is made of 72l. 20d. which were of that
inheritance, to wit, of 40l. for the third penny of co. Gloucester, under the
name and honour of co. Gloucester, and of 32l. 20d. for the third penny
of co. Hertford, under the name and honour of co. Hertford, and Elizabeth
never received anything therefrom because they remained in the late king's
hand after the said partition, and are now in the king's hand; and although
Elizabeth is prepared to acknowledge and make her relief for the lands
which she holds in her purparty of the said inheritance, being distrained
by summons of the exchequer, and to acknowledge and satisfy the king, as
she says, for the relief due to him for the lands which she so holds of that
inheritance as for the honours which are in her purparty and for the knights'
fees; yet the treasurer and barons distrain Elizabeth by reason of her said
purparty for a third part of the relief of two entire counties, to wit,
Gloucester and Hertford, as if she had, when she has not, a third part of
72l. 20d., by reason of which her ancestors and those of her co-heirs and
parceners held the lands of that inheritance under the name and honour
of the earl of those counties, wherefore Elizabeth has besought the king
by her petition before him and his council to provided a remedy; the king
therefore orders the treasurer and barons that if they can ascertain that
Elizabeth has not had any part of the said 72l. 20d. as aforesaid, then,
receiving her relief for the lands which she holds in her purparty as for
honours, if any, and for knights' fees, to supersede the exaction for the
residue which they cause to be exacted from her for the said third part of
two entire counties, to wit, Gloucester and Hertford, as if she had a third
part of that 72l 20d., by reason whereof the said inheritance took the name
and honour of earl as when she has not, until another ordinance has been
made thereupon by the king and his council. By pet. of C. |

To Gilbert de Ledred, escheator in cos. Lincoln, Northampton and

Snyterby which belonged to Thomas de Nevill, restoring the issues thereof
as the escheator returned that he had not taken that meadow into the king's
hand, but that Matthew Broun, at the time when he was escheator of the
late king in those counties, took it into the late king's hand because it was
found by inquisition of office that Alan de Thornton acquired it in fee
of the said Thomas, who held it of the late king in chief, without obtaining
the late king's licence thereupon, and that the meadow is still in the king's
hand; and afterwards, at the prosecution of Ralph de Nevill son and heir
of Thomas, as is said, showing that Alan had no other state in those tenements, except for a term of years then past, by the demise of Thomas, as
Ralph is prepared to verify, and beseeching the king to cause his hand to
be amoved from the meadow, the king ordered the escheator to take an
inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found that Thomas demised the
meadow to Alan for a term of twenty years, elapsed two years ago, and that
had no other state in that land at any time except for that term, and that
the meadow is held of the king in chief as parcel of the manor of Snyterby,
which is held of the king in chief by the serjeanty of finding a foot-crossbowman in the king's army of Wales, and it is worth 10s. yearly in all issues

Hugh was seised at his death in his demesne as of fee in that bailiwick,

Oliver's fealty for all the lands of that inheritance which are held of the

held that manor jointly at Hugh's death by the licence of the late king, and

as the late king, on 16th June, committed to William the custody of the said
two parts which belonged at his death to Hugh de Luccombe, tenant in
chief of the late king, and which were then in that king's hands by reason
of the minority of John, Hugh's son and heir, to hold, together with the issues
thereof, from Easter, then last past, until the heir should come of age,
rendering to the late king 7l. yearly, so that if the heir should die before
he came of age, his heir being under age, William should have that custody
with all its appurtenances, until the said heir should come of age, and so on
from heir to heir until one of these heirs should come of age, rendering the
7l. yearly as aforesaid, saving to the late king the knights' fees, advowsons,
dowers, reversions and escheats which should fall in during that custody;
and on 18th July last the king took the fealty of Oliver de Sancto

march of Wales adjoining, that Thomas held in his demesne as of fee, at
his death, a messuage, 3 mills, 158 acres of land, 57 acres of meadow and

are in John's custody for rendering a certain ferm yearly to the king, by
the king's grant, as long as John shall have that custody, as it was found
by inquisition taken by Richard de Abberbury and John de Brompton, in
the presence of Roger de Wydwere, sub-escheator in co. Berks, that Roger
de Mortuo Mari, late lord of Wygemore and Trym, on Saturday after the
Purification, in the 14th year of the late king's reign, bound himself by his
deed to be indebted to William son of Thomas Danvers, in a rent of 100s.,
to be received yearly for life from Roger and his heirs from his lands at
Neubury, by the hands of the bailiff of Stretford Mortimer for the time
being, or until William shall be promoted by Roger or his heirs with a
marriage or other promotion of the value of 20l. yearly, at least, by reason
of a donation of the manor of Woghefeld, co. Berks, which Thomas
Danvers, William's father, made to Roger and his heirs; and that William
received that rent from the time of the drawing up of the deed from the
lands in Neubury for all the time that they were in Roger's hands, by the
hands of Roger's bailiff for the time being, and that William was not
promoted by Roger or his heirs to any marriage or other state, and that
William did not remit or acquit that rent to Roger and his heirs; and the
king, considering the donation which Thomas made to Roger of the
manor of Woghefeld for the promotion of William, which manor came
into the king's hands by Roger's forfeiture, ordered William de Wutenham
to deliver to William son of Thomas Danvers the said rent of 100s. from
the issues of the lands in Neubury, which were in the hands of William de
Wutenham for rendering a certain ferm yearly at the exchequer until
William should have a marriage or promotion as aforesaid. |

son of Thomas Danvers, 100s. rent from lands at Neubury, which are in
his custody by the king's commission for rendering a certain yearly ferm to the

late king ordered Philip de Hardeshull, then keeper of forfeited lands in
co. Berks, to pay to Richard the arrears of that rent for the time when
Philip had the custody of the manor of Newebury, and to pay him that
sum yearly henceforth, until Richard should be promoted to an ecclesiastical
benefice [as in this Calendar, 18 Edward II. p. 264]; and afterwards,
at Richard's suit, showing that William Trussel, then escheator this
side Trent, in whose custody the said lands were, refused to pay that rent,
the king appointed Robert Achard, John de Brompton and Robert de
Hungerford to take an inquisition upon the premises, and by the inquisition
taken thereupon by Robert Achard and John in the presence of the subescheator of that county, it was found that Roger de Mortuo Mari of
Wiggemore bound himself by his deed to be indebted to Richard in the
said yearly rent to be received of Roger and his heirs from his lands at
Newebury by the hands of his bailiff of Stratfeld Mortimer, for the time
being, for Richard's life, and that Richard held the rent from the time of
the drawing up of that deed, and that he had no promotion from Roger,
and that Richard at no time released Roger of that rent, as appears by
inspection of the rolls of chancery of the late king; and the king has
considered the donation which Thomas made to Roger of the manor of
Woghfeld for the promotion of Richard, which manor is in the king's
hand by Robert's forfeiture, and he has also considered the late king's
order. |

king's wish, has undertaken to dispose of the said goods, as far as they will
suffice, for the salvation of Robert's soul, or to the archbishop's attorney,

render to the king the account for Robert for the issues of the wardrobe
for the time when Robert was keeper there, and found security for satisfying the king for that which should be owing to him by the said account,
and for all other debts which Robert, at his death, owed to the king; and
the king, by writ of the exchequer, ordered all the goods which belonged
to Robert, and which he caused to be taken into his hand by reason of
Robert's accounts and debts, to be delivered to William; and afterwards,
at William's suit, beseeching the king to provide him a remedy, as divers
goods and chattels which belonged to Robert had been eloigned and
withdrawn by divers men, and several bailiffs and ministers who were bound
to render accounts to Robert, evaded and refused to render such accounts;
the king, with William's assent, appointed John de Ellerker and Matthew
to seize and take into his hands all the goods and chattels, jewels, etc.,
which belonged to Robert in Ireland, at his death, without diminution,
and to keep them safely until the said accounts should be rendered, and the
king satisfied for the sums due to him, or until further orders, and to take
