de Bradele, which John ought to have paid to William at certain terms

sheriff by writ to cause all John's chattels to the value of 56l. 13s. 4d.,
except the oxen and cattle of his plough, by reasonable appraisement made
in John's presence, if he chose to attend, to be delivered to William or his

moiety of John's land in that bailiwick, by the extent thereof made in the
sheriff's presence, to be delivered to William or his attorney to hold as his
free tenement until the said debt should be levied thereof; but because
John has shown in chancery a letter of acquittance for that debt, under
William's seal, whereby he asserts that he paid the debt to William and has
besought the king to provide a remedy, the king orders the sheriff to make
known to William that he shall be in chancery on the morrow of the Ascension next, which day the king has given to John upon this, to do and receive

the king in chancery John de Aulton of that county, Adam de Bury of

undertook for John to answer to William at the said day for the said
56l. 13s. 4d., unless John shall then show that he ought to be acquitted

notwithstanding the king's order to deliver all the said goods and chattels
to these executors, as at the suit of the executors, showing that the goods
and chattels had been taken into the king's hands by his order for certain
debts and accounts in which Hugh was bound to him, and were appraised
by the sheriff and the price returned at the exchequer, and beseeching the
king to order those goods and chattels at be delivered to them by the
security of answering to him for the said debts and accounts or for the said
price, the king ordered the sheriff to deliver the said goods and chattels to
the executors by a certain mainprise which they found in chancery to
answer to him for the said debts and accounts as far as they would suffice,
for making the execution of Hugh's will; and now Mirabilla has besought

next for all the debts which Gilbert owed at the exchequer at his death and
which are exacted from her by reason of the lands which she holds in her
purparty of those which belonged to Gilbert, and to cause her to be released
from all distraints made for that reason, as the king being lately informed

late king's hands for debts which Gilbert owed to him, and although they
were sufficient for the payment of the debts, yet the greater part thereof was
eloigned out of the late king's hands by certain men of those parts who occupied them, so that the debts could not be levied therefrom as they ought,
wherefore the king ordered the treasurer and barons to take full information
upon the premises by inspection of the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer and by inquisition, if necessary, and to inform him of what they should
find thereupon, and he granted Elizabeth the said respite. By C. |

To the sheriff of Cornwall. Whereas John, earl of Cornwall, the king's
brother, is bound in no small sums of money to divers men and creditors on

that county, and also that he shall be admitted to buy such tin by the
buyers of the same before all others, so that he pay as much for the tin as
others shall wish to pay for it; the king orders the sheriff to cause this grant

To Philip king of France. Whereas in the agreement upon the

provided that if doubt arises between the commissioners of the kings upon
such restitution, then the doubt shall be referred to the parliament of
France, the court of the six peers (sey paribus) being at least provided,
and now the king has learned that doubt has arisen upon the restitution of
the lands of Blanquefort (Blancaforti), Virmis and Lurano between the
said commissioners, to wit, that the commissioners of Philip refuse to
consent to the restitution of those lands to the count of Armagnac
(Arminiaco) who obtained possession thereof before they were occupied
by the people of the king of France, and although the king's commissioners
referred that doubt to Philip's court according to the form of the aforesaid
agreement, to be discussed in parliament, yet the seneschal of Agen and
others of Philip's ministers of those parts, unjustly press and importune that
they may deprive Almaric de Duro Forti of the said lands, the said doubt being
undiscussed, the king therefore requests Philip to order justice to be done
upon the premises according to the form of the aforesaid agreement, or to
reserve decision concerning that affair until the coming of the envoys whom
the king intends to send to him. [Ibid]. |

security to have it at the port of Bishops Lynn at Whitsuntide next, ready to
set out in the king's service, as Thomas and William have besought the king
to order that ship to be dearrested, as they freighted it in the port of Bishops
Lynn long before his orders to arrest such ships emanated, to take it to Norway to buy hard fish and other victuals there and to bring them to England
for the maintenance of the king and his lieges, and the ship was afterwards
found at the said port and was there arrested by virtue of the said orders
and is in John's custody. |
