death of Robert de Kildesby, against William, archbishop of York, and has
given it to Henry de Ingelby, the king's clerk, who is admitted to the
prebend and is canonically instituted therin, and now the king has learned
that Hugh intends to levy a tax on the prebend from Henry in the name
of first fruits, pretending that the prebend was specially reserved to the
disposition of the pope, who had conferred it on Nicholas de Heth, under
colour of the said reservation and collation: the king therefore forbids
Hugh to attempt anything to his prejudice in this matter, superseding the
levying of the said tax and releasing any sequestration made for that cause,
so that the king may not be further troubled in the matter. |
