To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer, Dublin. Whereas the
late king on 14 May in the 9th year of the reign granted by charter to
John son of Thomas of Ireland, earl of Kildare, for his good service to
himself and to Edward I, the castle and town of Kildare with the title of
earl of Kildare, for himself and the heirs male of his body, with all the
appurtenances thereof, except the office of shrievalty of that county which
the king retained for the crown, to hold by the service of two knights' fees,
and the late king, on 2 August in the 11th year of his reign granted to
Thomas, son of the said John, then earl of Kildare, the shrievalty and
the liberty of the said county, except four pleas, to wit: rape, treasure
trove, forstall and fire, for himself and the heirs male of his body, to the
value of 60l. of land yearly and full satisfaction of 100l. of land yearly
which the king promised to give to John, Thomas's father, to hold by the
service of three knights' fees, and now Maurice son of Thomas, the present
earl, has shown the king that the treasurer and barons, because the kings
used to receive 200l. for 100 knights' fees in Leinster before the said
grants, in the time of each royal service in that land, of which fees the
county of Kildare as parcel of that Leinster used to render 100 marks
for 33⅓ fees existing in the county, exact 100 marks for a royal service
in the time of the said Thomas his father in the 17th year of the late
king's reign, and 100 marks for a like service for the time of the present
earl in the 19th year of the present reign, without considering the aforesaid
grants, whereupon the earl has besought the king to provide a remedy:
the king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to receive from the earl
the portion touching him for the said royal services according to the rate
of five knights' fees, and to supersede the demand made upon him for 200
marks by reason of those services, unless he ought to be charged therewith
for another cause. |
