his attorneys, to lade in that port and take to the staple in Flanders, such
of the 131 sacks, 4 stones, 158 pounds which the king ordered to be laded
in that port of the 211 sacks 4 stones 11/8 pounds of the wool of co. York
which the king sold to him, after he has paid at the rate of ½ mark a sack
for the custom, in accordance with the king's grant to him. It shall be

the grant of the customs and subsidy in all the ports of the realm to certain merchants. |

To the collectors of customs in the port of Great Yarmouth and to the
weigher and controller there. Order to go to the port of Ipswich and to
cause all wool which they find there to be taken to the staple in Flanders,
there to be weighed by the weigher in the presence of the controller and
collectors, and that done the collectors shall permit the wool to be
taken to the said staple, after 40s. a sack has been paid for the
custom; as although it was lately ordained by the king and his council
that the passage of wool should be made in the ports of London,
Southampton, Bristol, Boston, Kingston upon Hull and Newcastle upon
Tyne and not elsewhere, yet because a quantity of wool has been taken to
the port of Ipswich, and would not involve great costs to bring it to the port
of Great Yarmouth, the king has granted, with the assent of the council and
of the merchants of the realm, to whom he granted all the customs and
subsidies of such wool, that the said wool laden to that port and afterwards
brought there shall be weighed, and coketted in the form aforesaid and then
taken to the said staple from the said port. By C. |

To the collectors of customs in the port of Great Yarmouth. Order to
deliver to Tidemannus de Lymbergh and John atte Wold, or to their
attorney, 10s. on each sack, 10s. on every 300 wool-fells and 20s. on every
last of hides laden in the port of Ipswich, by indenture, as the king granted
that they and their fellows, merchants of Almain, should receive the said
sums of the subsidy of wool, hides and wool-fells taken out of England to
parts beyond the sea, beyond the custom due thereon, until they were
satisfied for all the debts in which the king is bound to them, as fully
appears by the indenture made with them. |

Westminster. |
To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to inspect the rolls
and memoranda of the exchequer, and if they find that the lands and
possession of the abbot of Savigny in Normandy, in Long Benyngton, co.
Lincoln, and in divers places in cos. Norfolk and Essex, restored to the prior
of Long Benyngton, were seised into the hands of Edward I and the late
king in time of war with France, then to cause those lands with all the
goods and chattels therein to be resumed into the king's hand without
delay, so that answer be made to the king for the issues of the lands and
for the goods and chattels, and also to make diligent enquiry as to who
occupied the lands from the time when the lands of the alien religious were
first taken into the king's hand, and to compel those occupiers to answer to
the king for the issues of the said lands and possessions, as the king has
learned that the abbot of Savigny has divers lands in the said counties,
for the issues whereof answer was made to Edward I and the late king in
time of war with France, which lands were restored to the said prior by the
untruthful suggestion that he is a native of Britanny. By K. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to audit the
account of John Billon and his fellows, appointed to levy and collect the
131 sacks 9½ stones of wool apportioned in co. Cornwall in the 16th year of
the reign, each sack being reckoned at 100s., and further to do what
pertains to the final issue of the account, as John and his fellows have
shown the king that because the wool of that county is gross and weak and
not fit for the king, with the assent of the men of the county and by an
ordinance of the king and council, they levied 100s. in money for each of
the said sacks, and although they are ready to render their account for the
money so levied, the treasurer and barons refuse to receive the said money,
but constrain them to render account for the 131 sacks 9½ stones in wool,
whereupon they have besought the king to provide a remedy, and the king
does not wish them to be aggrieved, because it was ordained by the king and
council, at the request of the men of the county, that 100s. should be
levied for each sack for the reason aforesaid. |

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to hear the
complaint of R. bishop of Durham and further to do what seems just and
reasonable upon the discharge of the bishop of a yearly ferm of 5 marks
3s. 4d. for certain fees which belonged to John de Balliolo in the liberty
of Durham, and for the arrears thereof, as the bishop has shown the king
that although the fees, which escheated to Edward I by John's forfeiture,
never came into the hands of the bishop or his predecessors, whereby he
could be justly charged with the said ferm, as if he had been tenant of the
fees, yet the treasurer and barons, pretending that the bishop ought to be
charged with the said ferm, have directed the sheriff of York to distrain the
bishop in his lands in that county for the said ferm and for 40 marks of
the arrears thereof, to the damage of the bishop and of the church of St.
Cuthbert, Durham, whereupon the bishop has besought the king to provide
a remedy. |

cause John le fitz Johan, son and heir of Walter son of John, tenant in
chief, to have seisin of all the lands of which his father was seised at his

escheator and the king has taken his homage for the lands which Walter
held in chief, and has rendered them to him. By p.s. [15731.] |

said manors jointly with Isabel his wife for themselves and their heirs, of
the gift and grant of William Baryng, vicar of Stebbyng church, and of
Hugh de Calk, parson of Aylmaresthorp church, and that the manors are

deliver to the abbot and convent of Certeseye what is in arrear to them of the
rent of 22s. 8d. out of 12 gallons (lagenas) of honey from the time when it has
been in the king's hand, and to pay that rent henceforth yearly so long as the
manor remains in the king's hand, as at the suit of the abbot and convent,
by their petition before the king and his council in the last parliament at
Westminster, beseeching the king to order the said rent and the arrears
thereof to be paid to them, as the manor came into the king's hand by the
rebellion and disobedience of John de Molyns, and it is held of the abbot
and convent by the said yearly service and by suit at the court of the abbot
and convent of Asshe every three weeks and by the suit of all staying in the
town of Henle at the leet of the abbot and convent of their manor of Asshe
at St. Matthew yearly, and that the abbots and the convent have had their
suits and services from time out of mind as of the right of the church of St.
Peter, Certeseye, until they were seized and taken away by John, the king
appointed John de Gaynesford, William de Northo and John de Hayton to
take an inquisition upon the matter, and by the inquisition taken before
John de Geynesford and William in the presence of Henry de Greystok,
keeper of the manor of Henle, it is found that certain lands in Henle and
Fremesworth, which are now the manor of Henle, were held of the said
abbot and convent as of the right of their churches as of their manor
of Asshe, by the service of 22s. 8d. at Michaelmas, Christmas, the
Annunciation and Midsummer and by the service of 12 gallons of
honey at Michaelmas, to be paid yearly, and by suit at the abbot's court of
Asshe every three weeks, and that all staying in the manor of Henle ought to
come to the abbot's leet of Asshe at St. Matthew every year, and that John
the present abbot and the convent and their predecessors have been seised
of the said rents and services from time out of mind, until the manor came
into the late king's hand, and that the abbot and convent in the late king's
time were seised of 11s. 4d. rent as a portion of the rent and of 12 gallons
of honey for the rent of one year, and that the manor was in the late king's
hand for two years, and it came into the present king's hand at the time
of his coronation, and he afterwards granted it to William de Clynton, earl
of Huntyngdon, to hold for life, who held it for nine years, and the manor
afterwards came into the hands of John de Molyns, who held it for four
years, and it is now in the king's hand by John's rebellion and disobedience,
and that from the time of the king's coronation the said rent and honey
have not been paid to the abbot and convent by the king or John, and the
treasurer and chamberlains have certified in chancery that the muniments
which belonged to John did not come to them from the time of the taking
of his lands, and Nicholas de Bokelond, the king's clerk, auditor of the
issues of the said manor and of the lands which belonged to John and of
other lands reserved to the king's chamber, on being examined upon the
premises in chancery before the king, said that he knew no reason why the
payment of the said rents should not be made to the abbot and convent in
the form aforesaid. By p.s. and by pet. of parliament. |

for the custom of 25 tuns of wine brought by him to England to be allowed
to him in part payment of divers sums due to him for wages and expenses
for the time when he was in the king's service, in going to the king in

with Isabel the said manor of the gift and grant of Annora, late the wife
of John de Lancastre, and the messuages and land of the gift and grant of
John de Lancastre to them and the heirs of their bodies, and that the
