To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause the prior
of Wolricheston to have respite until Michaelmas next for 30l., which he
owes to the king for the arrears of his ferm, as the priory was taken into
the king's lands as an alien priory, and the king committed the custody
thereof to the prior for rendering 30l. yearly, and afterwards at the prior's
suit showing that the rents, tenths and other profits of the priory from
which the ferm ought mostly to be levied, are in the hands of others, so
that he could receive nothing therefrom, and beseeching the king to discharge him of the value of the said profits, the king appointed certain lieges
in co. Warwick to take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found
that the profits are for the most part in the hands of others than the prior,
who retains no more than the value of 20 marks yearly, and the prior
asserts that the 20 marks do not suffice for the maintenance of himself and
of the monks and serjeants of the priory, and for other charges thereupon. By C. |
