if he be put in exigents at suit of the king and not of a party; as his
complaint shews that, although lately the king pardoned him all
treasons and felonies committed in insurrections of certain rebels
against the king and the peace from 1 May 4 Richard II to the feast
of Allhallows following except certain felonies therein specified, and
although that pardon was lately allowed before the king in his court,
and the petitioner was acquitted of felonies for which he was impeached, he is a second time impeached for the same in the said court,
and is unlawfully put in exigents at suit of the king only, shewing
that he is upon the king's service in the company of John de Holand
earl of Huntyngdoun and captain of Brest in Brittany, and is abiding
in the garrison of that town. By K. |

To the sheriffs of London. Strict order to cause proclamation
to be made, that all who without licence of the king have acquired in
mortmain lands, tenements and rents in that city, or are feoffees of any
such lands etc. to the use and profit of men of religion or other persons
of the church and will give and assign the same in mortmain, shall
before Easter next at latest sue with the king and the chancellor
for licence, or for pardon of forfeiture if need be, and that if they do
not the king's intent is then to take order for his advantage; as the
king is informed that divers such lands etc. have been so given and
assigned without licence, and that certain persons are so enfeoffed
of divers others contrary to the statute, which therefore ought to
pertain to him as forfeit, but in consideration of the pious and praiseworthy intent of the donors, by reason of his reverence for God and
holy mother church he is minded by advice of the council to treat
with the feoffees and occupiers, and put them at reasonable fines to
have such licence. By K. and C. |
