king has learned by inquisition taken by Gilbert de Ledred, late escheator
in cos. Lincoln, Northampton and Rutland, that John de Dalyngrigg held
no lands at his death of the king in chief, by reason whereof the custody
of his lands ought to pertain to the king, but that he held jointly with

publication of the statute of mortmain, and which Gilbert took into the king's
hands, and which are now in the king's hands, restoring the issues thereof to
the abbot, because the king has learned by inquisition taken by Gilbert that
Walter, late abbot of Revesby, in the 47th year of the reign of Henry III., to
wit, before the publication of the said statute, acquired 34 bovates of land in
Sibeceye, of Hugh le Dispenser by a fine levied in the said king's court in

of Robert Chanry for himself and his house before the publication of the
said statute, to wit, 60 years ago; and that the land in Sibeceye is held
of Alesia de Lacy, countess of Lincoln, the land in Fylyngham of Edmund
Bardolf, the wood of Walter de Neville, and the rent of William de Kyma,
and not of the king. |

of Welyngton, tenant in chief, to have full seisin of all the lands of which

Dec. 31.
Morpeth. |
To the sheriff of Cumberland. The men of the town of Arturet in that
county have besought the king to grant them some remuneration, as at the
time when the king last stayed at that town with his army in journeying
towards Scotland, their growing corn, hay and straw were trodden down,
cut and consumed by the men of that army and their horses, so that
little or nothing remained to them for their maintenance and for paying
their rents and services for that year, and their men sustained other
damage by reason of the king's stay there in divers manners; the king,
therefore, in consideration of the premises, has granted them in aid of their
maintenance 50l. of his alms, and orders the sheriff to go in person to that
town and to inform himself of the damage sustained by those men, to wit,
by each of them at the said time, and to cause the said 50l. from the issues
of his bailiwick to be divided and distributed among those men, considering
the damage suffered and the quality and want of the persons, and upon
receipt of letters from some of the principal men of the town, testifying
to the said payment, the king will cause allowance for that sum to be made
to the sheriff in his account. |
