To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas at the suit
of Hugh Tyrel, the king's yeoman, showing the king that he had committed to him the custody of the castles of Bulkendinas and Blenkleveny
and of the lands, forests and chaces there, to hold during pleasure,
rendering yearly at the exchequer as much as others have rendered for
the same, and receiving the accustomed wages and fees, and the king
had ordered the treasurer and barons to inspect their rolls and
memoranda, and if they found that some did not have that custody before
the said grant, who answered to the king for anything, then to charge
Hugh with the extent of the castles, etc. by account to be made with
him, allowing him so much as had been allowed to other keepers for
wages and fees, and although they afterwards caused the castles, etc.
to be extended and charged Hugh with that extent, yet they have delayed to make allowance to him for his wages and fees, because they
have not found that any have had that custody before who answered
to the king for anything, and that wages or fees were allowed to any,
and Hugh beseeching the king to provide a remedy, the king ordered
Gilbert Talebot, justice of South Wales, or him who supplies his place,
to take an inquisition on the premises, by which it is found that the
steward of Blainleveny is wont to receive 10l. yearly and a robe, hay and
forage as often as he comes, the constable of Bulkendinas 4½d. daily
and a robe yearly, the constable of Blainleveny 4½d. daily and a robe
yearly, the gatekeeper of Blainleveny 2d. daily and a robe yearly, the
gatekeeper of Bulkendinas 2d. daily and a robe yearly, two foresters
1½d. daily each, and the hayward of Blainleveny and of Llyn Safaddu
(mara) 2d. daily, the bedel of a knight 6s. 8d. yearly, and 2d. at each
court, the Welsh reeve, 2d. at each court, the Welsh bedel 2d. at each
court, and the chief forester 2d. at each court and four serjeants 1d.
daily each at each court: the king therefore orders the treasurer and
barons to allow to Hugh for himself and his ministers retained for the
said custody, such sums for the time when he had the said custody by
the king's commission, in his account at the exchequer. By p.s. |

To William Trussel, escheator this side Trent. Order to cause the
priory of Goldeclyve to be extended by the oath of lawful men of that
bailiwick, and all the lands belonging thereto, with the names of those
who hold the lands, as the prior of Goldeclive has besought the king to
show favour to him, as at the time when the possessions of those of the
power of the king of France were taken into the late king's hands, the
custody of the priory and of the manors of Coudray, in the march of
Wales, Membury, co. Devon, and Preston and Selvre, co. Somerset,
pertaining to that priory, was committed by the late king to the then
prior for rendering 100 marks yearly, at which the priory and manors
were extended, and William Martel, who made himself prior by false
and forged bills, after the prior and manors had been taken into the
late king's hands, granted the manors of Membury, Preston and Selvre,
extended at 50l. yearly, to John Inge, to hold for life, and the manors
of Goldeclive and Coudray alone remain to the priory, which do not
exceed an extent of 20l. at most, wherefore the present prior cannot
answer for 100 marks for the custody of the priory, and the king wishes
to be informed concerning the true value of the priory and the manors
and lands pertaining thereto. The king has ordered Ralph de Middelneye, escheator in cos. Somerset and Devon, to extend the manors of
Membray, Preston and Selvre, and other lands of the priory in that
bailiwick. By K. and C. |

to have paid at St. Laurence last, for the custody of their priories and
the lands pertaining thereto, which the king had caused to be taken into

or John, and the said priors, who had granted to pay the sums as aforesaid on admission to their custodies, which they had besought from the
king, have not hitherto paid them or shown any reason why they have
not done so, and the king will not suffer such contempt. |

fellows, merchants of the society of the Bardi, to do their will with their

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas at the suit
of Adam de Lymbergh, the late king's constable of Bordeaux, showing
at his suit both by writs of chancery and of the exchequer, to Master
John Guytard, then his controller in the duchy [of Aquitaine], deceased,
and to the executors of his will afterwards, it had been demanded that
they should cause that control to come to the exchequer, and they had
never executed that order, and Adam had been so occupied with pacifying the war of the king of France in that duchy, that he could not fully
levy the issues of the duchy, and he could not cause Master Gerard de
Sancto Sereno, then treasurer of Pergork, and Master William Reymond of Abinion, then treasurer of Agen, and other ministers and receivers appointed by him and the late king, to come to account with
him for the issues of their bailiwicks; and because they adhered to the
king of France in taking certain castles, towns and lands occupied by
him upon the late king, and stayed in his power from that time, and
have fully answered to the said king for those issues, by compulsion, as
may fully appear by a certificate of the seneschal of Gascony and constable of Bordeaux, sent to the exchequer by the king's order, the king
ordered the treasurer and barons to audit the account of Adam for the
issues of the duchy, and to command the seneschal of Gascony, by writ of
the exchequer, to cause the executors to come to the exchequer on a
certain day with the control, or to send it there, and to audit the
account in the meantime, and if the control was sent, then to recite what
was begun of that account, according to the oath and assertion of Adam,
charging the ministers and receivers of those parts who have not
accounted with Adam for the issues of their bailiwicks and could not be
judged to do so, in Adam's discharge, so that he should be charged with
what he received by the hands of the receivers, and after the auditing
and final rendering of the account, they should command the executors
to come with that control and rectify the account thereby, and cause
justice to be done; and now Adam has besought the king to order to
proceed to the issue of his account, as he fears that it may easily be
delayed, both because the control cannot be sent to the exchequer on
account of the war with the king of France in Gascony, as the executors
have adhered to that king, although it has been demanded of the
seneschal, and because some of the rolls, tallies, letters and other
memoranda touching his account have been lost in the transit from the
duchy and by the carriage from London to York and back again, Adam
being then in the king's service in Ireland, and the seals of certain of
the said letters and memoranda are broken; and the king, considering
the state which Adam kept for the king and his father in the duchy,
and for the king in Ireland, and his proved fidelity and untiring labours,
at great expense, orders the treasurer and barons to audit the account
according to the tenor of the other order, and rectify it with the control
if it is sent on the said day, and if not then to proceed to the final discussion of the account according to Adam's oath and affirmation, not
awaiting the control, and notwithstanding the said loss and breaking. |

To Bartholomew de Insula and his fellows, keepers of the maritime
land in co. Southampton. Order to cause the common signs by fire upon
the hills and elsewhere in that county to be made without delay, and diligently guarded by four, five or six men at arms or armed men, so that the
men of those parts may be warned in time of a hostile attack, and not to
compel or distrain the men of religion and others of those parts to find
any men at arms or armed men at Portsmouth, Southampton or elsewhere staying in that county, or to contribute to the expenses of the
same, beyond what is necessary for the custody of the aforesaid signals;
because the king has learned that Bartholomew and his fellows distrain
men of religion and others for such causes, wherefore this cannot sustain
such burdens, upon which they have besought the king to provide a
remedy. The king wishes, however, all men, both servants of men of
religion and others, men at arms and armed and able-bodied men to be
compelled to repel enemies if they invade the realm. By C. |

in the chapel of the castle, and also three small and insufficient chambers
near the close of the gatekeeper, are assigned to two clerks there, and
that a hall, a cellar, a kitchen and four sufficient chambers have been
newly constructed for the four chaplains, who were lately sent from
Wyndesore park to the castle for celebrating divine service in the chapel
there, in a close on the south side of the chapel, by the order of John

land or rent to that value by the king, and to cause the 100 marks to be

granted that rent to Nicholas for his good service to him and his father

To William Trussel, escheator this side Trent. Order not to distrain
Matilda de Haudlo of Wythefeld for her homage by reason of the lands
which she holds of Queen Philippa and Robert Kenteys, during the
queen's life, as the escheator returned that he had not taken into the
king's hands the view of frankpledge of Matilda, an acre of land, 5s.
rent and the moiety of a market and fair in Horndon, but that he had
distrained her by her cattle found in these tenements, because she holds
them in chief with other lands, by homage, and she did not render it,
and afterwards at Matilda's suit showing that the view, land, rent and
moiety are held of Queen Philippa by knight's service as of the honour
of Reylegh and not in chief, the king ordered the escheator to take an
inquisition upon the premises, by which it is found that Matilda holds
the view, rent and moiety of the queen as of the said honour by the
service of the 20th part of a knight's fee, and the said land of Robert
Kenteys by the service of 6d. yearly. |

Thomas de Ferariis and Theobald de Mounteny, the king's yeoman, all
the lands which belonged to John de Moeles, tenant in chief, together
with the issues thereof, from 1 September last, to be kept by them, as
Isabella de Moeles, one of John's daughters and heirs, a minor in the
king's wardship, married William de Boterels, knight, without the
king's licence, and the king granted the forfeiture and whatever pertained to him by that marriage to Thomas and Theobald with the
custody of all the lands which belonged to John, until the partition
thereof should be made between the heirs, without rendering
anything to the king, saving to Thomas de Courteneye, who married
Muriel, John's second daughter and heir, the issues of her purparty,
which the king granted to Thomas by a fine which he made with him
and ordered the escheator to deliver those lands to Thomas and Theobald; and the escheator has delayed to do so, as the king has learned,
because the issues of Muriel's purparty are granted to her and her
husband, and he has not yet made their purparties, and the king does
not wish the livery to be further delayed, chiefly because he caused the
issues touching their purparty to be delivered to Thomas and Muriel
by the hands of Thomas and Theobald, that partition being made. |

time, yet certain sons of iniquity drew him, who then called himself John
de Catton, violently from the porch and led him to prison. |

ship 'St. Maria,' of Getaria, Spain, have besought the king to order
their ship and the cable of the 'St. Salvator' to be de-arrested and
restored to them, as they touched at that port with their ships, laden

to return home in their ships to bring other merchandise to the realm,
and the ships are arrested by the mayor and bailiffs by reason of an
order of the king to arrest ships in that port; the king therefore orders

in parts beyond the sea, to pay debts due to the king, and not to compel
him to pay those debts, so that he may be able to answer to the king
for the ferm of the custody of the priory and its possessions, as he is
bound, as the king committed to John the custody of the priory and its
possessions, which were taken into his hands because the prior was a
native of the power of the king of France, to hold under a certain form
during pleasure, rendering yearly at the exchequer, 40l.; and now the
king has learned from John's plaint, that although he ought not to be
charged with the prior's debts during that custody, yet the sheriff has
several times distrained him in the said lands to pay such debts, wherefore John has besought the king to provide a remedy. By K. and C. |

To William Trussel, escheator this side Trent. Order not to intermeddle further with the lands of Thomas de Lacy in Holkham, co.
Norfolk, restoring the issues thereof to Thomas, as the escheator returned that he had taken those tenements into the king's hands, because
John Dakeny, who held them in chief, alienated them to Thomas without
the king's licence, and afterwards at the suit of Thomas, showing that
the said lands are not held in chief, and that neither John, his ancestors
nor any other tenants had held them of the king, the king ordered the
escheator to take an inquisition upon the premises, by which it is found
that Thomas does not hold any lands in chief in Holkham, but that he
holds a messuage, a wind mill, 2 acres of land and 60s. rent there, and
the market there every Monday, of the heir of Robert de Tony by the
service of the 20th part of a knight's fee, and of rendering 2½d. thereof

received by Mabel fitzWaryn, to be delivered to Thomas de Bourn, to
remain in his custody according to the form of a mainprise, as on its being
found by inquisition taken by Walter de Hungerford, late escheator in
cos. Surrey, Sussex, Kent and Middlesex, that Thomas Tracy held no
lands in chief at his death, the king ordered that escheator not to intermeddle further with the lands which belonged to Thomas, restoring the
issues thereof, and Thomas de Bourn has besought the king to provide
him with a remedy, as Paulina de Gras, of whom Thomas Tracy held
certain lands in Stanford Ryvers, as is found by the aforesaid inquisition, had entered these lands immediately after the king's hand was
amoved therefrom, and had demised the custody thereof to Thomas de
Bourn, to hold until the heir of Thomas Tracy should come of age; and
although Thomas de Bourn is aggrieved and disquieted by certain of the
king's ministers, pretending that the custody of these lands ought to
pertain to the king by reason of certain other lands which Thomas
Tracy held in chief, and has found mainpernors in chancery, to answer
to the king for the issues of the lands in Stanford Ryvers, if they pertam
to him, it was agreed by the council in chancery that he should hold
these lands in peace by the said mainprise, until further orders, by the
advice of the council, and Thomas is amoved from the custody of these
lands by pretext of a commission of the king to Mabel of the custody
thereof; which lands were said to be in the king's hands by reason of
the minority of the heir of Thomas Tracy, to hold until the heir should
come of age, and of an order to the escheator to deliver to Matilda those
lands and the issues received from 21 April, Thomas de Bourn not being
called; and the king has consideration of the mainprise which provides
for his indemnity. By C. |

were in Joan's custody by the king's commission, and were afterwards
delivered to Henry, bishop of Lincoln, to be superseded, provided that
the bishop answer to the king for the ferm which he is bound to render
to the king therefor, and the arrest thereof; as the king ordered Roger
Chaundos, sometime escheator in cos. Hereford, Gloucester, Worcester,
Salop, Stafford and the march of Wales adjoining, to take the castle

letters of obligation to be made for William Esgar, merchant, and Walter
Drake, of Bisshopescastel, co. Hereford, according to the form of the
king's commission, as the king lately appointed Reginald and the others
to take and buy for his use a certain number of sacks of wool in the
city of London, the suburbs and other places, and afterwards learning
that the said wool, which did not belong to the bishop but to divers
merchants, who asserted falsely that it belonged to the bishop, is not
taken for the king's use by reason of a certain commission of the king
to the bishop, the king appointed Reginald and the others to take
an inquisition on the matter, by which it is found that 29 sarplars of
that wool belong to Walter, and were bought with his money, and that
38 sarplars of that wool, also in that hostel belong to William, and were
bought with his money, and that the bishop has no ownership or part
therein, and the wool is under the seals of Walter and William. By K. |

felony, held of them, notwithstanding the demise of the same, as the king
ordered the sheriff to deliver the said tenements to the prior, earl, Margaret and vicar [as at page 89 above], or to show cause why he should
not do so, and the sheriff returned that he could not deliver those tenements because they are demised at ferm by William Trussel, escheator
this side Trent, who charges himself with the issues thereof in his
account, which return the king deems inadequate. |
