hold until the close of Easter next, if he find security to answer to the
king for the issues of the priory and the said manors and for the goods and
chattels therein if they ought of right to pertain to the king, so that the
king being certified in the meantime of his right in the matter may be able
to do what is just and reasonable, as on 28 January last, on being informed
that the priories of Clifford Tutley and Crassewell were subject to certain
religious houses in parts beyond the sea of the king's enmity, and had not
been taken into the king's hand among the other lands and possessions of
aliens, by reason of the war with France, the king ordered the escheator to
cause those priories and their possessions to be so taken and kept safely
until further order so that answer for the issues thereof should be made at
the exchequer, and now the prior of Clifford has besought the king to cause
his hand to be amoved from that priory, as the priory of Clifford is not
subject to any house of the said parts beyond the sea, and no prior there
has ever made any apportum to any house of those parts, and that the priory
was founded by the ancestors of Alesia countess of Lincoln for doing
certain alms and charities there and is subject to the priory of Lewes, and
that the prior of Lewes ought to present an English or French monk of his
order to the said priory of Clifford when void, and that the king has never
received any ferm or issues of the priory or of the lands pertaining thereto
at any time by reason of the war with France. By C. |

demand made made upon the keeper and chaplains of the chantry called
Doge in the city of Canterbury for arrears of the grants of wool or other
aids made by the community of the realm before 25 January last, as their
lands and possessions do not suffice for the maintenance of the keeper and

the issues of the priory, so long as it remains in the king's hand, as the
king ordered the escheator to take that priory into the king's hand and to
keep it until further order [as above], and now the king has learned from
the prior and brethren that although the priory and all pertaining thereto
have been taken into the king's hand by reason of that order, yet the
escheator does not see that reasonable maintenance is administered to
them, wherepon they have besought the king to provide a remedy. By C. |

said 18d. daily henceforth from the said provosts and possessors, as at
Thomas's suit beseeching the king to aid him so that he might be able to
continue more fittingly in the king's service, as he was in that service from
the time of the outbreak of war between the king and Philip de Vales[io],
not without heavy labour and expense, exposed to divers perils by land and
sea, and has not wherewith to maintain himself fittingly without such aid,
and in consideration of this and because he surrendered the king's letters
patent for him to receive 10 marks yearly for life to chancery to be
cancelled, the king granted on the said 20 May that he should receive 18d.
daily for life upon the ferm and fee of Molesses and the carucate of
Annevill and other ferms and rents of the king in the parish of St. Martin
in the island of Gereseye, by the hands of the provosts and possessors

fellows the king's great crown in their custody, for certain sums of money
