and the treasurer and chamberlains shall give him payment or other satisfaction for what is found to be owing to him by such account.  By C.
Jan. 28.    To the sheriff of Dorset. Order to cause a coroner for that county to be

heirs of their bodies of the said manor and advowson, of the king in chief,
by serjeanty, to wit by the service of being sub-lardiner of the king, and it

he had done so because he had learned by trustworthy testimony that a
certain abbot of Mounstroil who held the said tenements in chief in the
hamlet of Cokenach which is of the town of Berkeweye, co. Hertford, on
which he had built a chapel, to find a chaplain to celebrate divine service
for three days a week there for the souls of all the faithful departed, had
alienated the tenements to the abbot and convent of Walden, and they
entered upon the same without obtaining the king's licence, and they have
ceased from the chantry for a great while, and the king afterwards ordered
the escheator to take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found
that Robert Burun, sometime lord of the said hamlet of Cokenach in
Berkeweye, who held those tenements of the earl of Essex as of the honour
of Mandevill by fealty and the service of a rose yearly, in the time of Henry
sometime king of England, gave those tenements to the abbot and convent
of St. Wynewall, Mounstroil, to hold of him in frankalmoin, and the abbot

chapelry of Blythe (de Blia) with all its appurtenances, in frankalmoin,
which chapelry is now called the free chapel of Tykhill, the church of Gunnolveston was alienated by the archbishop and canons of Rouen at the time
when the chapelry was in their hands, which church William Bernak holds
as parson thereof by the presentation of Richard de la Rivere of the right of
Joan his wife, and Richard and Joan granted the advowson of the church
by fine to Richard de Wylughby, without the king's licence, and the king
ordered the escheator to take an inquisition upon the matter by which it is
found that the church of Gunnolveston is of the honour of Peverel and was
not in the seisin of Walter, archbishop of Rouen, the canons or their successors from the time whereto the memory runs, nor was it alienated by them
to any persons, but that the advowson was in the hands of Richard de la
Rivere and Maud de Heriz, his wife, as of her right, and that her ancestors,
in whose hands the presentation has been from time out of mind, presented
William Bernak to the church, who now holds it, and that Richard de
Wylughby has the advowson by the grant of Thomas de Baddesforth and the
said Maud, his wife, by a fine levied in the king's court.

given her respite for her homage until Whitsuntide next, and to cause her
to have seisin of the manor, and now Margaret has besought the king to
order the issues to be restored to her, as she and Ranulph acquired the
manor of William de Burgh, parson of Dacre church, and of Robert Parvyng,
to whom they previously granted the reversion of the manor after Thomas's
death, by the king's licence, by a fine levied in the late king's court, and so
the manor pertains to Margaret by that acquisition and not of hereditary
right, as is contained in the inquisition, and it is clear by part of the fine

the bill shall be received or another made for the debt and delivered at the

satisfaction shall be made in the rolls of the exchequer that William de
Cusaunce, the late keeper of the wardrobe, rendered account thereof at the
exchequer of accounts, and they shall cause the premises to be observed and

bound in divers sums of money, yet because divers writs of liberate for
paying certain sums to William from the treasury, and other writs for
making payments to divers creditors whose names are noted in that

and receiving those bills when the 9171. 7s. 6d. has been fully paid, as the
king was lately bound to John in that sum for the time of his stay with
the king, as might appear by bills under the seals of the keepers of the
wardrobe, and in consideration of John's good service the king committed
to Eleanor and the other executors that they should receive 1001. yearly at
the exchequer until they were satisfied for the said sum, and for their
greater security the king granted that they should be satisfied for the 1001.

Westminster amove the king's hand from a messuage of the abbot of St. Alban's
in Chepyngbarnet, co. Hertford, and not to intermeddle further therewith, restoring the issues thereof to the abbot, as the king ordered
Richard de Monte Caniso, then escheator in those counties, to certify
him of the cause why he took that messuage into the king's hand,
and Richard returned that he so took the messuage because he had learned
by the testimony of trustworthy persons that the abbot and convent had
acquired that messuage without obtaining the king's licence, and afterwards, at the suit of the abbot, showing the king that the messuage has been
held of himself and his predecessors in villeinage from time out of mind the
king ordered the present escheator to take an inquisition upon the matter,
by which it is found that one Bartholomew le Carter held of Roger a former

his son Came to the abbot's court held at Barnet in the 1st year of King
Edward I and sought that he might be admitted to the messuage to hold in

admitted, and afterwards Walter came into the abbot's court at Barnet in
the 16th year of the reign of Edward I at Michaelmas term and surrendered
the messuage into the lord's hands for the use of Agnes his daughter, bythe
abbot's licence, and the abbot demised the messuage to Agnes to hold in
villeinage in the form aforesaid, and afterwards Agnes alienated the messuage to John Froyl and his heirs by her simple charter, and now the
abbot perceiving that prejudice had been done to his church by that alienation has entered the messuage as in his own demesne, as was lawful for
him to do, and the messuage is worth 40d. yearly and that the abbot holds
it of the king in mesne as parcel of his barony.

ordered the escheator to certify him of the cause why he took that
mill into the king's hand, and the escheator returned that William
Talemache, late escheator in those counties, had delivered the mill to
him by indenture, asserting that it was in the king's hand by reason of
the acquisition which the abbot of St. Osith's made thereof of Richard de
Wymbissh after the publication of the statute of mortmain, without
the king's licence, and afterwards at the suit of John and Richard
- showing that Richard de Wymbissh lately demised the mill to the abbot
for a term of three years, and that he demised the term which he had therein
to the said John and Richard as aforesaid, and Robert de Wymbissh and
Joan his wife released the mill, within that term, to John and Richard,
*by a fine levied in the king's court, and John and Richard remained in peaceful seisin thereof until they were amoved by the escheator, the king ordered
the escheator to take an inquisition upon the premises, by which it is found
that Richard de Wymbissh demised the mill to the abbot by deed
in the 15th year of the reign, for a term of three years, and that by
virtue thereof the abbot continued in possession for a year and a half and
granted the remainder of his term therein to John and Richard, and that
Richard de Wymbissh and Joan his wife released the mill within that term to
John and Richard by a fine levied in the king's court, and that John and
Richard were in peaceful possession of the mill by reason of that demise and
release until the escheator took it into the king's hand, and that the mill is
held of the abbot by the service of 6s. yearly and it is worth -18s. 4d. yearly.

of Edmund, and that William son of William son of Beatrice had the year,
day and waste thereof and ought to answer to the king.

sum to Robert, yet he has not cared to do anything therein, as Robert has

incurred by those men for the salvation of the March against such attacks
while the king was absent in parts beyond the sea, and wishing

therewith, as Nicholas has besought the king to order the woad to be
dearrested and delivered to him, as after the truce began in Britanny
between the king and Philip de Valesio he caused 15 tuns of woad to be
taken to England by John to do his pleasure therewith, and the woad was
arrested at Faversham  in the house of Philip son of Philip Nhete, by
reason of an order directed to William to arrest all the goods and merchandise of men and merchants of the power of France by virtue of an arrest
granted to Robert Beaufitz of Gillyngham by the king upon such goods,
and it is not the intention of those who made the truce that any arrest
made before the truce for any trespasses committed upon the men and
merchants of the king's lordship and power or those of his adversaries
should be made anywhere during the said truce.                 By C.

marks to Godekinus and the king did so with the assent ot the parliament
held at Westminster on Wednesday after Sunday in Mid Lent in the 14th

Westminster demand made upon the prior and convent of Sempyngham for a pension of
10 marks and for the arrears thereof, as the late king gave licence to the
abbot and convent of Lundors in Scotland to assign the advowson of
Wyssingdene church, co. Rutland, to the prior and convent of Sempyngham,
and afterwards the said king by other letters patent gave licence to the same
prior and convent to appropriate the church and hold it for their own
uses; and subsequently the abbot and convent of Lundors by reason of the
said licence released to the same prior and convent their right of patronage
in the church with the glebe thereof and a pension of 10 marks which they
received yearly in the church from antiquity, and the present king has
ratified the said grants and has of his especial favour pardoned the prior

of all his action in the matter, and to cause reasonable maintenance to be
found for the prior and convent and for their serjeants and the other
charges incumbent upon the priory out of the issues thereof until further
order, as the king has learned that the priory was not taken into his hand
among the other lands of religious and other ecclesiastical men of the power
of France and that answer is not made to the king for the apportinm which
the prior is bound to make yearly to the abbot beyond the sea.  By C.

fifteenth and tenth granted by the community of the realm in co. York for
the time when those temporalities came into the hands of William, archbishop of York, that the collectors of the triennial tenth and fifteenth in
the East Riding, co. York, charged themselves in their accounts with 20s.
for the first, and 20s. for the second of the three years for the fifteenth
of the archbishop's goods in Killum, and the king has considered that the
temporalities should be taxed at the rate of the tenth as they were when in
the hands of the archbishop, dean and chapter of Rouen, or at a greater
sum if they are worth it, because they are of the king's ancient demesnes it
is said and ought to be taxed at the tenth with the king's other demesnes.

the ship and corn were arrested by Saier and taken into the king's hand as

his office, and to send the inquisition to chancery on the quinzaine of

done, as it was found by a certificate of the treasurer and barons of the
exchequer returned to chancery that certain sums of money were exacted of
the hospital for certain tenths on the clergy of the realm by Pope Clement,
and that Edward I, because it was found by inspection of the letters patent
of J. bishop of Winchester and 0. bishop of Lincoln that the master and
brethren of the hospital made no contributions to any tenths granted to the
kings of England because their faculties did not suffice for their yearly maintenance, ordered the treasurer and barons to discharge the master and
brethren of the tenths, and they were thus quit thereof, and it was not found
at the exchequer that the master and brethren paid any tenth there from
23 Edward I, and the present king notified the premises to all whom it might
concern, and now the king has learned from the plaint of the master and

wife, showing the king that William le Wayte, to whom Peter de Glamorgan
by his deed, long before his death, granted the manor of Brampton and the
advowson of the church thereof in co. Somerset, to hold in fee, granted the
manor and advowson to Thomas and Amicia to hold for Amicia's life, and
they were seised thereof, and so continued until Hugh Tyrel, sometime
escheator in that county, by reason of an inquisition taken in the absence
of Thomas and Alice at the procuration of their rivals, by which it was
found that Peter at his death was seised of the manor and advowson in his
demesne as of fee, and because Nicholas, Peter's brother and heir, is an
idiot, seised the manor and advowson into the king's hand, although it was
found by another inquisition previously taken by that escheator that Peter
at his death held no lands in chief in that county, and they beseeching the
king to provide a remedy, he caused the tenor of the inquisitions and the
writs by which they were taken to come before him in chancery, and sent
them to the justices under the half seal, ordering them to inspect the
tenors and after hearing the plaint of Thomas and Amicia, calling before
them the escheator, the keeper of the manor, the king's serjeants and others,
and hearing the reasons on both sides, to cause due and speedy complement
of justice to be done in the premises, but not to proceed to render judgment
without consulting the king; and though Thomas and Amicia in pleading
before the king often offered to verify that Peter held no lands in chief in
that county at his death, yet the justices have hitherto delayed to proceed
to that verification because it was found by the other inquisition that Peter
was seised of the manor in his demesne as of fee, whereupon Thomas
and Amicia have besought the king to provide a remedy; the king therefore
orders the justices, if the affair has so proceeded, to proceed to take that
verification and further to proceed to the final discussion of the affair and
cause the complement of justice to be done, notwithstanding the second
inquisition.                                                 By p.s.

alms, hospitality and other works of piety, of which lands the abbots were
peacefully seised intil Thomas usurped the profit of their marsh in

the maintenance of the monks and servants of the abbey ought to
arise, and because the abbot sues against Thomas and his men
of Depyng in divers places of the king for the injuries thus inflicted,
Thomas striving to impede the said prosecution and tire the abbot, pretends
that the abbot and certain of his monks and serjeants broke a ditch of
Thomas in his marsh of Depyng by force and arms, fished in his fishery

chancellor, and his fellows appointed to hear and determine divers
trespasses and excesses in that county.  Order to cause those 450 sacks to
be collected and levied in accordance with the apportionment thereof which
the king now sends to them under the half seal (sub pede sigilli), notwithstanding the previous order directing them to levy it by extracts of the
apportionment thereof then made, which the king sent to them under the
half seal, as the king has learned that the wool was not so well apportioned

as on being informed that William, to whom the lands of the abbot were
committed for rendering a certain ferm to the king, was sent by the abbot
to England to spy upon the king's secrets, and that he made an apportoum
of the goods of those lands to the abbot, in succour of the king's enemies,
and that much destruction was wrought in those woods by him, the king
ordered the sheriff to take those lands into the king's hand and keep them
safely until further order, so that he should answer to the king for the
goods and chattels and issues and should take inquisitions concerning the
destruction wrought in the lands and woods from the time of their being
taken into the king's hand alid concerning what apporta William had sent;
and by the inquisition so taken it is found that the waste or destruction
had been made from the said time, that William had made no apportlum but
that he had borne himself faithfully towards the king and his realm, and the
king does not wish him to be further annoyed by such frivolous suggestion.

Westminster. intermeddle further with the manor of Wedon Pynkeneye, restoring the
issues thereof to Thomas Wale, knight, son of Lucy Wale, or to his
attorney, as the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that
Lucy held the said manor in her demesne as of fee, in chief, as of the fee
of Pynkeneye, by the service of a knight's fee, and that long before her
death she enfeoffed Thomas of that manor, by the king's licence, and that
she held no other lands at her death in that bailiwick of the king or others,
and the king has given Thomas respite for his homage and fealty until
Easter next, because he cannot come to do them in person, as he is in the
company of Henry earl of Derby in the parts of Grenata, striving in war

informing the king in chancery concerning the nature and value of the
goods so arrested, as lately at the suit of Richard de Port and John le
Fevere and other merchants of Gernereye, showing the king that they
laded a ship called 'la Katerine' of that island, with wine to the value of
2501. at the city of Bordeaux to be taken thence to Gernereye, and certain
malefactors of. the said lordship, allies of Philip de Valesio, the king's
adversary, entered the ship by force and arms, during the truce between
the king and Philip, near the town of Olom, when sailing with the wine to
Gernereye, and they took the ship and did their will therewith contrary to
the truce, the king several times requested the bishop to hear the complaint
of the merchants and cause speedy justice to be done to them, and although
they have gone before the bishop by their attorneys and sued him for the
recovery of the ship and wine, he has not cared to do anything, as John
Estur, supplying the place of John de la Launde, bailiff of Gernereye, has
shown the king, wherefore the merchants have besought the king to provide
a remedy.

an inquisition upon the estate of that hospital, by which it is found that
the lands, goods and faculties of the hospital are worth nothing beyond the
maintenance of the master and brethren there and alms and otler works
of piety ordained therein and that the master and priests do not suffice to
pay wool, the ninth and other aids after their reasonable maintenance has
been deducted.                                               By p.s.

cause the manor to be seized into the king's hand without delay and shall

the inquisition and this writ to the king, as on it being lately found by

lands in his demesne as of fee in that bailiwick, but that he held the said
manor of Margaret and lands of other lords by divers services, the king
ordered the escheator not to intermeddle further with the said manor and

taken by the sheriff of Sussex for making a redemption to the king for
certain trespass whereof he was convicted before John de Veer, earl of

gaol, he escaped from the custody of the sheriff, and the justices have
certified the king in chancery that John le Mareschal is not indicted before
them for any trespasses or excesses, but that he was convicted before them
of the said trespass on John de Burdevill, wherefore it was considered that
John de Burdevill should recover his damages against him, and that he

the king does not consider the aforesaid cause sufficient for the taking of

who were staying in the said island with the king's ministers, and who
endeavoured to eloign them from the island, the king appointed Thomas,
Philip and Adam to detain all the animals, goods etc. so taken and keep

because the said Geoffrey son of Richard pleading before John and Hamo,
by virtue of a writ si non omnes, said that his father died seised of the said
tenements in his demesne as of fee and held them in chief as of the manor of
Wroxhale in the isle of Wight, and they were taken into the king's hand
by reason of Geoffrey's minority, and Geoffrey le Tochard alleged that the
said tenements with the custody of Geoffrey son of Richard were seised into
the king's hand and committed to him under the name of Geoffrey Dyoun
of Wroxhale, to hold until Geoffrey son of Richard should come of age, as

on 20 September in the 13th year of the reign,,of all the issues of the petty

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

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 9* stones in wool,
whereupon they have besought the king to provide a remedy, and 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

quit of 2s. yearly arising from the 111. 8s. yearly which remained to them
by the composition made between them and Robert, then bishop of Bath
and Wells, which 2s. with the liberties and customs pertaining thereto the
said king recovered against the abbot before the justices then last in eyre,
in co. Somerset, and now the king has learned from the plaint of the
present abbot that the treasurer, barons and chamberlains cause the 2s. to
be exacted of him, because in the rolls or extracts of Salomon and his
fellows, containing that the sheriff of Somerset ought to recover 2s. of the
rent of the abbot's men of Melles, of the sheriff's tourn, which the said king
recovered against the abbot in that eyre, there was no mention of the aforesaid composition.

abbot and convent were much aggrieved by reason of a collation of the king
to the said prebend, and of a writ of quare impedit pending thereupon before

acquiring, entering, and occupying the prebend without licence of the king
or his father and granted that they should have the said land and advowson,

idiot from the time of his birth and that he alienated the said messuage and
land, which he held of his inheritance, after his father's death, to John
Glynde, the king ordered the escheator to make known to John Glynde that
he should be in chancery on a certain day now past, to show cause why the
messuages and land should not be taken into the king's hand together with
the other lands of the said inheritance by reason of the idiotcy of the heir;
and John Glynde appearing in chancery asserted that the said heir was not
an idiot from his birth and that at the time of the alienation of the messuage
and land he was of sound mind, and for this he placed himself upon the
country, by which the king sent the record and process thereupon to William
Scot and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas before the king, to be
finally discussed there; and now the king has learned that the escheator
has taken the messuage and land into the king's hand upon the colour of
an order so to take all the lands which are of the inheritance of John son
of Thomas, by reason of his idiotcy, whereupon John Glynde has besought
the king to provide a remedy.

the mayor and company of the merchants, saving to each one his freedom,
so that all those who pass wool are of one condition and agreement to keep

Nov. 16.    To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer.  Whereas the king gave
Westminster. licence to W. late archbishop of Canterbury to assign the manor of
Caldecotes, which belonged to the archbishopric and was worth 61. 11s. 8d.
yearly in all issues to the prior and convent of Christ Church, Canterbury,
so that in every voidance of the archbishopric, they should render the true
value of that manor to the king by the hand of the guardian of the temporalities of the archbishopric; and now the king has learned from the plaint
of the prior that although the manor was of the first foundation of the
church of Canterbury and before the 20th year of Edward I, and the other
temporalities of the archbishopric were taxed at a gross sum for the tenths
before the manor was granted to the prior and convent, and the archbishops
have paid that tax as if the manor had been in their hands, and J. the
present archbishop paid the wool on the manor of the second year of the
biennial ninth, as may appear by the accounts of the collectors of the tenths
and wool, yet the sub-collectors of wool in the city of Canterbury exact
wool of the prior for that manor, pretending that it is in the liberty of
the city and was acquired after the said 20th year, without considering that
the manor htas always been a parcel of the archbishopric and is not a lay
fee, wherefore the prior has besought the king to provide a remedy: the
king therefore orders the treasurer and barons to inspect the said rolls of
accounts and other rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, and if they find
that the temporalities of the archbishopric were taxed in gross as aforesaid,
and that no diminution has been made by reason of the acquisition of the
manor, and that the archbishop has paid the wool as aforesaid, then to
supersede the demand made on the prior for the portion of wool assessed
upon him by reason of the manor, provided that the portion be levied of
those who ought to be charged therewith.                    By C.

their will in the late king's time, and by the malice of Gilbert de Holm and
John Basset, and not of right, as men of the cities, boroughs or ancient
demesnes, then to proceed to the discharge of those men for the tallages of
32 Edward I and 6 Edward II and for the tenths in the 6th, 8th, 10th and
11th years of the present reign, in accordance with the king's previous order
to them, as at the suit of those men, showing that the towns are not cities,
boroughs or of ancient demesne, and have not been taxed with them from
time out of mind, and because the assessors of the tallage of 32 Edward I
and 6 Edward II and the taxers and collectors of the tenth and fifteenth

them, the treasurer and barons exact those tallages etc. from them, the

in their account for the sixteenth and fifteenth in the ninth year of
Edward I and charged themselves among the ancient demesnes of that
county with the fifteenth of the goods of those men, and satisfied the king
therefor, although the said men pretend that Gilbert and John assessed
them unduly at that fifteenth, contriving to aggrieve them, and although
it is accounted that the said men were taxed with the community and not
with the men of ancient demesnes in that county during the whole time of
Edward I and the late king except in the said 9th year, and that in the
time of Henry III, when divers tallages were assessed upon the demesne

the escheator to certify him why the said messuage, land, pasture and 20
acres of wood of the prioress there had been taken into the king's hand,
and the escheator returned that the messuage and land had been so taken
by reason of the appropriation thereof which the prioress made to Geoffrey
Wauncy after the publication of the statute of mortmain, without the king's
licence, and the said pasture and wood by reason of the appropriation which
the prioress made in enclosing that pasture without the common of pasture
of the town of Chadelworth, without the king's licence, by Robert fitz
Elys, late escheator in those counties, and they were delivered to John by
Robert by indenture, and afterwards at the suit of the prioress beseeching
the king to order his hand to be amoved from the messuage and land, as
they and the pasture have always been parcel of the manor of Chadelworth, which Queen Eleanor, by the licence Henry III granted to
Mary, then prioress of Aumbresbury and the convent there, and they have
held the said messuage, land and pasture by virtue of that grant until
Robert took them into the king's hand, without Geoffrey having any estate
therein, and the pasture of 30 acres of wood is the separable pasture of the
manor and was enclosed without the prejudice of any one, the king ordered
the escheator to take an inquisition upon the premises, by which it is found
that the said messuage, land and pasture have always been parcel of the
said manor which Queen Eleanor gave to the church of St. Mary and
St. Melor of Aumbresbury and to the prioress and nuns there as aforesaid,
and that they have been seised of the messuage, etc. as parcel of that manor
until Robert took them into the king's hand, without Geoffrey having any

a minor in the king s wardship, had alienated divers lands which they held
in Birthorp and elsewhere in that bailiwick of the said inheritance, for life,
with reversion to the said heir, in fee to divers men, ordered the escheator to
take an inquisition upon the premises, and although it was found by the
inquisition that Henry de Bello Monte, grandfather of the said heir, was
seised of the said manor in his demesne as of fee and demised it to Thomas
de Grey, knight, to hold for life, who held it until Roger de Birthorp
intruded therein with the assent and will of Thomas, and that Roger
afterwards alienated the manor to William de Baiouse, knight, and Robert
Frost, chaplain, and that the manor is member of the manor of
Folkyngham, which is held in chief by barony, and the king ordered the
escheator to execute his office in taking the manor into the king's hand, yet
it is clear by inspection of 'Domesday' book, the book of fees and other
evidences of the exchequer that the said manor is held of the lord of the
manor of Folkyngham by knight's service, so that it cannot be called a
member of the manor of Folkyngham.

Tuberville and Margery his wife and the heirs of their bodies, with
remainder after the death of themselves and of Amicia their daughter and
heir, to the said William, Amicia's son and heir, against Eleanor de Sturton,
and because it was alleged that the late king gave that manor, which came
to him by the forfeiture of Rogo Gacelyn, an enemy and rebel, to
Ed[mund] Gacelyn to hold for life, and by reason of the king's writ the
justices delayed to proceed in that plea, the king ordered them to proceed to
take inquisition thereupon, but not to proceed to render judgment without
consulting the king, as may appear by the tenor of the record and process
held thereupon, which the king has caused to come into chancery; and
now William has informed the king that although the justices proceeded
to take the said inquisition, yet judgment still remains to be rendered, and
he has besought the king by his petition before the king and council in

it was agreed between him and John Coterel of Ireland, in the earl's name,
to keep inviolable, if the earl would do his part, as the king sold that
marriage to the earl until John, with whom the agreement was made
concerning that affair, who had set out to Ireland to get the said money and
bring it to the king in England, should return, of which money the king
has not yet received payment, although John set out long since, but now
the king has learned that by pretext of a proclamation which the earl
pretends was recently made in Ireland, that no one should leave the county
upon pain of forfeiture, which proclamation, if made, was done without the
king's knowledge or wish, the earl has excused himself from sending the
money, whereat the king is much angered. The king has ordered the
justiciary of Ireland, the chancellor there and the treasurer and barons
of the exchequer, Dublin, to permit John or others whom he shall depute to
take the money to England to depart from Ireland and come to England,
notwithstanding the said proclanlation.

committed by him for the time when he was customer in the port of
Ipswich, whereof he was convicted before the said justices, by the pledge of
John, add although he made no other fine before those justices, and John

the king to provide a remedy for their discharge, as by pretext of divers
orders of Nicholas de Punchardon and his fellows, late vendors and assessors

therewith, restoring the issues thereof to Cicely, as the king ordered
Nicholas de Langeford, late escheator in those counties, to certify him why
he had taken the said messuages and land into the king's hand, and
Nicholas returned that he had so taken them because he had found by
inquisition of office that Henry le Norreys, who held a messuage and a
bovate of land in Wyston in chief of Edward I as parcel of his serjeanty
there, alienated them in fee to Sibyl his daughter, after whose death John
de Markham, her son and heir, entered the same, as did Cicely, his daughter
and heir, after his death, without making process in the king's court or
doing service to the king, and afterwards Cicely informed the king that the
messuage and land taken into the king's hand are held of Alan de
Bekyngham and not of him, and she besought the king to order his hand to
be amoved therefrom, and the king ordered Nicholas to take an inquisition
upon the matter, by which it is found that the said messuages and land at
the time of the said alienations and entries were held of Alan and not of
the king.                                            By pet. of C.

the truce between the king and Philip de Valoys, killed the mariners and
took the ship with the goods to Leure in Normandy, and there divided the
goods, and although William and Stephen sued before Philip and his council
for the said goods and for justice, yet Philip and his ministers have refused
to do justice to them, wherefore the king ordered the sheriff of Cornwall

matter, by which it is found that the merchants laded that ship with 375
pieces of tin weighing 52 miliare, worth 2401. of the stamp of Edward,

Cabot of the same, John son of Martin Bok of the same, John Lailler,
Vincent de Vauricher, Robert de Castol of Rouana and others unknown of
Normandy, knowing the goods to be plundered, bought them of the
said malefactors, and the merchants went to Philip at Paris and his
justices for a remedy, and they utterly refused, and the said buyers
of the goods, after the merchants had laid their petitions, pursued them
and would have killed them if they could have taken them, wherefore
William and Stephen have besought the king to provide a remedy, and the
king ordered them to arrest all the goods and merchandise of the said Copinus
Teghelere, John le Fevre of Boloigne and other malefactors and of other

and now William and Stephen have besought the king to cause the said
goods, which are extended at 2871. 7s. 6d. to be delivered to them in satisfaction of the 2241. 5s. 5d., in part satisfaction of the residue of the said
5241. 5s. 5d., because the mayor and sheriffs of London have not been able
to find any goods of the men of France and the said duchy, as they have
certified in chancery, and because William and Stephen have found before
the king in chancery Henry de Trethewy, John Crochard, John Pitte, parson

prayers and alms in the places where churches were founded, and that
certain possessions of very great value were assigned by them to the prelates
of the realm to maintain those charges, and of those possessions the kings
and magnates of the realm had the custody during voidances, as lords and
advocates, and the collations and presentations, and the kings usually
presented natives, as seeming better for the salvation of the realm, yet the
pope, appropriating to himself the donation of such possessions and
benefices, conferred such dignities, prebends and churches on aliens who
never stayed in the realm and also on cardinals, who could not do so, and
on others both alien and native, by his provisions, as if he was patron and
advocate, and if this were tolerated all the benefices pertaining to the
donation of prelates would be in the hands of aliens and natives contrary
to the wish of the founders, and the king and other lay patrons would lose
their collations, and goods would be taken out of the realm to the nullification of the state of the holy Anglican church, wherefore it was ordained
in the said parliament that such oppressions should not be permitted
henceforth, and all those then present were forbidden to do anything to the
injury of the king's royal dignity, or to the prejudice of the magnates and
people, and the sheriffs of the realm were directed by writ to arrest and
imprison all found by inquisition to be doing the contrary; and now in the
last parliament held at Westminster on the quinzaine of Easter last, at the
suit of the community of the realm by their petition before the king and his
council beseeching the king to provide for the indemnity of the Anglican
church, and for the rights of himself and his magnates, it was ordained and
proclaimed that no one, whether alien or native, should bring into England,
upon pain of forfeiture, any bulls, letters, processes, reservations of such
benefices, instruments or other things prejudicial to the king or his people,
and that no one should presume to receive them or procure them to be
made, and that a diligent scrutiny should be made upon all coming to
England, and that all found bringing such bulls, letters, etc. should be
immediately attached and kept in prison until further order, and the letters,
etc. taken from them should be sent to chancery from time to time, the
king being informed of their names; but certain provisors, not considering
the said provisions or the penalties contained therein, have brought such
letters etc. to the realm and delivered them to archbishops, bishops, abbots,
priors and others, and the archbishops and others have inducted several
provisors and purveyors of provisors to such benefices by virtue of the said
letters etc. and the sheriffs have not hitherto attempted to do anything in
accordance with the tenor of the king's order: the king therefore orders
them to repeat the said proclamation and prohibition, and to make diligent
scrutiny of those who have brought and received such letters etc. and of
those who have been so inducted to benefices and continue to hold them,
and to arrest all those found guilty with the said letters and cause them to
be brought before the king and his council to receive justice thereupon, and
the sheriffs shall execute the order, that the king may not have cause to
punish them.                              By K. and all the Council.

the ship with the goods and merchandise to Leure in Narmandy, and there
divided the goods among themselves, aud although William and Stephen
sought the recovery of the said ship and goods before Philip and others of
his council, yet Philip and his ministers have refused to do justice in the
premises, wherefore the king ordered the sheriff of Cornwall and the mayor
and bailiffs of Lostwythel to take an inquisition  upon  the matter,
by which it is found that the said merchants laded that ship with
tin, to wit 375 pieces weighing 52 miliare and 640 pounds, with the
stamp of the prince of Wales and duke of Cornwall, the price of each
miliare being 61.; and 17 dickers of horse hides, price 81. 10s. and 1707

justices at Paris to seek justice, but they had refused to do justice, and
after the merchants had done this, they were pursued to be killed if they
could be taken, wherefore they hardly escaped from those parts; the king
therefore orders the mayor and sheriffs to arrest all the goods and merchandise of the said malefactors and of other men and merchants of the

Peter Bernardi de Tholosa and Raymund de Bars, the king's subjects, of
Bayonne, adding that justice has not been done to them by process held by
the king's ministers, as he had requested, saying that it is customary for
the lord of the person despoiled to take information concerning the damages
inflicted and demand restitution of the lord of the spoilers, and that the
execution and not the knowledge of the matter alone pertains to the lord of
the spoiler, and has again requested the king to accede to his previous
request, the king thanks him, but as his subjects are ready to prove that
the fault lay with Alfonso's subjects, and that they were only defending
themselves, the grant of a marque or pledge seems difficult not to say
injurious, but that the king may not be found to lack justice, he has sent
Alfonso's letters with all information upon the matter to the seneschal of
Gascony, in whose district the king's said subjects dwell, ordering him to
cause the complement of justice to be done, and the king is always ready to
do further what is just and reasonable. [Icedera.]

July 8.     To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the
Westminster. demand made upon Bartholomew Deumars and John Braghyn, citizens of
London, or their mainpernors for 63 tuns of woad, although the king
previously ordered them to supersede that demand upon Bartholomew and
John until the octaves of Easter last because they found Reginald de
Conductu, William Braghyn and Simon Armurer, citizens of that city, and
William de Melchebourn of co. Norfolk, mainpernors, to answer the king
on the octaves of Easter last for the said woad, of certain men and merchants
of the city of Amiens, which is of the power of Philip de Valesio, the king's
adversary of France, to the value of 2101., which had been arrested by the
sheriffs of London, at the suit of Bartholomew and John for their goods
plundered in Normandy, if the said woad ought to pertain to the king.

July 12.    To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the
Westminster. demand made upon John de Marton, the king's clerk, for 61., as he has
besought the king to provide a remedy by his petition before the king and
his council in the last parliament, as certain ministers of the king in co.
Essex, indicted for extortions and grievances inflicted on the people of that
county, made a fine in common of 3,000 marks before Thomas Wake of
Lydell and his fellows, late justices appointed to hear and determine
divers trespasses and excesses in that county, and the assessors of that
fine assessed John at 301. in his absence, and although John has not
knowingly committed any fault, in accordance with the ordinance made
in the said parliament that if any were assessed at such fines before
the justices in their absence, and would not consent to the fines, but
would stand to right before the justices to answer the king and others
for the said fines, they should be discharged, John appearing before
the justices expressly said that he would not consent to the fine but was
ready to answer as aforesaid, and upon inspection of the rolls and
memoranda of the justices it was not found that he was indicted of any
crime, injury or extortion, and also on proclamation being made before the
justices in the presence of the assessors and others that if any one had to
complain against John they should come there to seek justice, no one
presented himself or accused him, wherefore it was considered that John
should be discharged of the 301. unjustly assessed upon him, as is found by
the tenor of the record and process held thereupon which the king caused
to come before him in chancery, yet the treasurer and barons, by reason of
a clause in that record and process containing the words 'but let him be
charged with 61. in aid of the common fine,' and by reason of the extracts
of the justices, cause those 61. to be exacted of John.  By pet. of C.

not customed therein, together with the ships and boats, as forfeit to the
king, and keep them safely until further order, and Saier has besought the
king to order the said fourth part to be allowed to him for his travail and
expenses, as was agreed by the king and his council at another time, as he
has frequently made such arrests, which extend to no small value, and

ought to pertain to the king, and not to intermeddle further with the said
manor and the other lands which he took into the king's hand by reason of
Roger's death, restoring the issues thereof to Alice, as the king has learned
by divers inquisitions taken by the escheator that Roger at his death held
no lands in chief in that bailiwick, but that he held jointly with Alice the
said manor of the grant of Roger de London and that the manor is held of
the men of the town of Kyngeston, the king's fermors of that town, by the
service of rendering to those men at their ferm, 78s. 31d. yearly and suit

quantity of the goods and chattels, the owners, and the value thereof, as the
king ordered the steward and bailiffs to certify him concerning that arrest,
and they returned that on Saturday in Easter week last the said ship came
to that port by a contrary wind and on account of a clamour made upon the
master and mariners of that ship by certain men of the town, the said
master and mariners acknowledged before them that the said ship with the
master and mariners and merchandise, to wit 20 quarters of salt, was driven
to Aberdeen in Scotland, which is of the king's enmity, by a tempest and
the breaking of the ship's rigging, and the said salt was exposed for sale
there contrary to the will of the master and mariners, yet the bailiffs made
the said arrest, wherefore the master and mariners have besought the king
to provide a remedy for their release, and the king has appointed Robert de
Morle, John de la Rokele and Thomas de Drayton to take an inquisition
upon the premises by the oath of lawful men of co. Norfolk, and Ralph has
found in chancery Thomas de Drayton of Great Yarmouth, Nicholas de

that they charge themselves with having received that wool at Durdraght,
for which they are ready to account, and for 27,3421. 16s. lOd. for 2,500
sacks of wool taken by them to parts beyond the sea contrary to the agreement, because it is not found by inquisition or otherwise that they are
guilty of taking or receiving the said wool, annulling all processes made in
this respect and cancelling them in the exchequer rolls, saving to the king
the actions competent to him against all who took wool to parts beyond
contrary to the agreement and prohibition, to the detection and conviction
of whom William and Reginald have promised to devote all possible
diligence, for doing which the treasurer and barons shall receive an oath
from them, and it is always the king's intention that William and Reginald
shall render account to him upon all receipts, payments and acts done
by them, as William and Reginald have besought the king to provide
a remedy, as it was agreed between the king and certain merchants of
England that they should buy 30,000 sacks of wool in England for the
king's use, and that they should account with William and Reginald, who
would account with the king, for the gain, and although the king first
granted to the merchants a moiety of that gain, and afterwards the king
pardoned them the other moiety and rendering account for the gain, and
took from them the wool bought by them and taken to Durdraght,. and
disposed thereof as seemed good to the council, yet the treasurer and barons
have unjustly charged William and Reginald with 62,9411. Os. 10{d. in
their account for the said gain, remitted by the king, and whereas William
and Reginald charged themselves with 11,400 sacks of wool so provided in
England and received by them at Durdraght, the treasurer and barons,
asserting that William and Reginald acknowledged before them that they
had received in England 10,000 sacks of that wool, although the wool was
the same as that which they so received at Durdraght, where they answered
for 10,000 sacks, and 1,400 sacks remained of the increment of that wool,
and pretending that William and Reginald had received 10,000 sacks in
England and 11,400 sacks at Durdraght, although they were the same wool,
unjustly charged them with 10,000 sacks beyond what they received, as it
was ordained in the said agreement that no merchant or other should
take any wool to parts beyond the sea until the wool so provided for the
king had been taken there and sold, and it was found by an inquisition
taken before Robert Parvyng, then the treasurer, and his fellows at the
exchequer, at St. Martin le Grand, London, that 2,500 sacks were taken to
parts beyond contrary to the agreement, yet the treasurer and barons have
charged William and Reginald with 27,3421. 16s. 30d. for the value and
forfeiture of the 2,500 sacks although it is not found that they were guilty
of taking them, and the king enjoined certain prelates, earls and other lieges

king's adversaries of France, he was taken by Edmund and imprisoned in

baron of Stafford, steward of the household, to compel Edmund to satisfy
John for the said florins and his damages, they have not cared to do
anything, and John has besought the king to provide a remedy, and the
king ordered the sheriffs of London to take an inquisition upon the matter,
by which it is found that John was taken by Edmund, Simon his yeoman

he took divers goods of the said merchants found in the fair of St. Giles
near Winchester to the sum of 4071. 16d. as appears by his certificate sent
into chancery, which goods the executors asked to have delivered
to them; and the merchants pretending that they are of the house
in the city of London    commonly called ' Gildehalla Tutonicorum'
and they showed a charter in chancery containing that the king
granted the said house to those merchants of Almain and that they
or their goods should not be arrested for any debt of which they
were not sureties or principals or for any trespass made by others, and
beseeching the king to cause the said goods to be restored to them,
especially as John Hamound, mayor of London, as alderman of the
merchants of Almain, having the said house, has certified the king in
chancery that the merchants of Dynaunt are of the said Gildehalla, and the
executors said in reply that Edmund is of the said house and guild and
has goods in common with the merchants of Dynaunt, by which those
merchants are not covered by the charter, and they offer to prove this; and
the merchants assert that Edmund is not of the said guild and has not
goods in common with them; and the king directed an inquisition to be
taken thereupon at St. Martin's le Grand, London, on Monday after
St. Denis last, by Master John de Thoresby and John de Sancto Paulo, and
the parties put themselves in that inquisition, and the executors did not
come on the day appointed by the jurors with their consent, before John

nothing why the said goods should not be dearrested and delivered to the

their oath, and it is the king's intention that William and Reginald shall
render account for 11,414- sacks 4 cloves, 1 pound of wool and upon all
other receipts and payments made by them, as William and Reginald have
besought the king to provide a remedy, as it was agreed between the king
and certain merchants of England that they should buy 30,000 sacks of
wool for the king in England and that William and Reginald should
answer to the king for the gain thereof, and although the king first granted
a moiety of the gain to the merchants and then the other moiety, because
he took from them the wool bought by them and taken to Durdraght and
Middelburgh, he granted that the said wool should come to his hands and
that the merchants should not intermeddle further therewith or be bound
to render the account, yet the treasurer and barons have charged William
and Reginald with 62,9411. Os. lOd. for the said gain, and although
William and Reginald are ready to account at the exchequer for 11,414 -sacks, 4 cloves 1 pound of wool purveyed in England and received at
Durdraght and Middelburgh, the treasurer and barons charge them with
10,000 sacks, because they acknowledged that they had received them in

was found by inquisition taken before Robert Parvyng, late the treasurer,

this yet the treasurer and barons have charged them with the price of the
said 2,500 sacks as if they were guilty, and by information taken by
certain prelates, earls and lieges it was found that the premises contain the

time of the taking into the king's hand of the lands of the alien religious
by reason of the war between the king and his adversaries of France,
pretending that the said abbot is of the power of France, and the treasurer

the king pardoned him the said 1001., then to cause the said 2001. to be

of the debts in which the king was bound to him, and caused tallies for that
assignment to be levied at the exchequer and delivered to him, and he
ordered Richard to pay the 2001. to Thomas, and although the king afterwards
pardoned Richard 1001. of that sum, not recollecting the assignment, and
ordered the treasurer and barons to discharge him thereof, yet he wishes
the assignment to remain in force, because the 2001. were due to Thomas

tenths to be levied of the abbot and to supersede any exaction made upon
him for wool [in this Calendar 12 Edward 111, pages 592, 608], and now
the king has learned from the abbot that although the collectors superseded

uses, has been wasted by the invasions of the Scots and fires, and although
other churches of those parts so destroyed have been newly taxed and the

true value of the church, and to cause it to be taxed according to the finding
of the inquisition, and to send the taxation to chancery, and the archbishop
has found by inquisition that the church has been much destroyed by the
invasions of the Scots, like the other neighbouring churches, and its tax

day fixed by them, to propound their claims if they see fit, and the justices
shall send their claims to the chancellor of that land by writs of quo

in that land, claiming divers liberties in their lands there, both cognisance
of pleas of the crown and other pleas, returns of the king's writs and
summonses of the exchequer, Dublin, and other things. The king has

To Ralph Dufford, justiciary of Ireland. Whereas the king is informed
that as many fees and wages are paid for keepers of castles and fortalices in
that land where the king has few or no lands pertaining to the same, as
used to be paid before the king and his progenitors granted those lands to
divers men both of England and Ireland, and as the fees and wages were
granted for the custody of the said lands, castles and fortalices, and it is
not reasonable that the king should be charged with the fees and wages
entire where others receive the profit of the lands: the king orders the
justiciary to associate with the chancellor, treasurer, justice and others of
the council in that land, and take diligent information upon the matter,
causing such fees and wages to be reduced according  to their discretion, and
to inform the king in the chancery of England of what they have done.
To the treasurer of Ireland, or to him who supplies his place. Order to
cause two seals, one for judicial writs in the Common Bench, Dublin, and
the other for the Bench following the justiciary of Ireland, to be made and
delivered to Robert de Scardeburgh, to whom the king has committed the
custody of those seals together with the profit thereof, in the presence of
Ralph Dufford, justiciary of that land, and of the chancellor there, as the
king has learned that judicial writs of both Benches have been delivered in
times past by collusion between the clerks and attorneys of those places to
the king's sheriffs there, without being sealed with the king's seal used in
that land, to the great detriment of the chancellor there.
Mandate to the justices of the Bench, Dublin, to deliver all the judicial
writs of that Bench to Robert to be sealed with the said seal.
To Ralph Dufford, justiciary of Ireland. Order to cause divers commissions to be made in the chancery of Ireland under the seal used there to
sheriffs and other fit persons, as he shall see fit, after taking the advice of
the council there, so that answer for the issues of their offices shall be made
at the exchequer, Dublin, as the king is informed that the escheator and
collector of customs in that land cannot exercise their offices by reason of
the wars, although they receive great and divers fees from the king yearly for
the execution of those offices, and that the said offices might be executed for
a less sum and with greater utility by the sheriffs and others, and by the
advice of the council the king has ordained that each sheriff shall exercise
the office of escheator in his county and that collectors of customs shall be
appointed in those counties or in places where ships ply.
To Ralph de Scardeburgh and his fellows, justices appointed to hold pleas
following the justiciary of Ireland. Order to keep before them in that Bench
the ordinance made by the king with the advice of the council that the rolls
of records and processes of pleas in that Bench shall remain in possession
of the chief justice of that Bench for the future, as in times past they have
been in the custody of a clerk of that Bench by commission of the justices
who have nothing of the records and processes in their custody, and divers
evils may arise if the said rolls are not sufficiently cared for.
To Ralph Dufford, justiciary of Ireland.  Order to ordain that no minister
taking fees of the king, setting out with the justiciary for the execution of
his office, shall take any wages for himself or others of his household but
of his due fee, though the king wishes the justiciary to keep men at arms
and others necessary for war at the king's wages, as he may see fit, as. the
king is informed that several ministers in that land, taking fees from him,
have received wages for themselves and their households as often as they set
out with the justiciary, as if they received no fees from the king.

Sept. 12.   To the justices of the Bench.  Joan late the wife of Ralph Basset of
Westminster. Drayton, has besought the king to provide a remedy, by her petition before
him and his council in the last parliament at Westminster, as she seeks in
the king's court against Alice, late the wife of Henry de Beaumond, a third
part of the manor of Loghteburgh with appurtenances, as her dower from
Ralph, and Alice pleading in that court alleged that the king when duke
of Aquitaine and earl of Chester, Ponthieu and Monstreuil granted to her
and Henry the said manor, whereof the tenements placed in view are parcel,
which escheated to the king by the forfeiture of Hugh le Despenser, earl of
Winchester, who held it of the king at his death, with reversion to the king
in default of heirs of their bodies, and after the king undertook the
government of the realm, at the request of Queen Isabel and with the
consent of parliament, he granted the manor to Henry and Alice, for
Henry's good service to the late king, to hold with all appurtenances for
themselves and the heirs of their bodies, with reversion to the king in
default of such heirs, and Alice says that she holds the said tenements as
parcel of that manor, and seeks aid of the king, wherefore the justices have

certifying the king in chancery of all their action in the matter from time

him, are extended, and to keep them safely until Simon is satisfied for the
2001. or until further order, certifying the king in chancery of the goods so
arrested, their owners and value, and of all their action in the matter,
as Simon has shown the king that he laded a ship of his called 'la Godyere'

merchandise to the value of 601. upon hope of the last truce between the
king and Philip de Yalesio, to be sent to parts beyond, and Simon, John

that ship at sea, killed the mariners and other men found therein, and took
the ship and merchandise, and the king appointed Edward de Cretyng,
late sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk, and Robert de Clere to take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found that the said malefactors of

unknown, plundered that ship on Monday after the Purification last, worth
401. with its tackle, and the corn, fish, flesh, ale and other victuals therein

John Gerard, bailiff of Kaleys and the bailiffs and communities of all the
other towns, by Simon son of Walter Reyner and Nicholas Mulle, his
serjeants, who pleaded from the Thursday following until the next Thursday,
and that the said bailiff of Kaleys, the lord of the ship in which the malefactors were, and several others of the said towns, scheming the death of
Simon son of Walter and Nicholas, maliciously charging them with
sedition, caused them to be taken as enemies of the realm of France, contrary to the form of the truce, so that they could no longer sue for justice
upon the restitution of the said goods, but the bailiffs and communities
refused to make such restitution, wherefore Simon Lambright has besought
the king to provide a remedy. The king has sent like orders for various
sums to the bailiffs of Great Yarmouth, the bailiffs of Ravensere, the
bailiffs of Scardeburgh, the bailiffs of Whyteby and the bailiffs of Blakene.

abbot of Westminster the said manor except the messuage, land and rent
by the reason of 17J hides in Heandune, which charter the present king has
confirmed, and that he ought not to answer thereupon without the king,

sack of 200 sacks of wool granted to the burgesses residing at Berwick
upon Tweed, for the custom due thereon, and 20.. of the moiety of the
subsidy due thereon in the sums which they are bound to pay for the
customs and subsidies, as in consideration of the damages and charges
incurred by the mayor, bailiffs and other burgesses of Berwick in the
defence of that town against the hostile incursions of the Scots, the king,
with the assent of the council and of the said merchants, granted that they
should buy 200 sacks of wool in the nearest parts of the march of England

Westminster. that he would cause 2,000 sacks of the wool of the merchants of the societies

and now those merchants have shown the king that by pretext of an
ordinance of the king and council to take a moiety of the wool of the realm
225 sacks 50 cloves of the merchants' own wool have been taken for the
king's use by William de Preston and Simon Turgys, whom the king
appointed to receive all wool from the collectors of customs in the port of

merchants to take to parts beyond the sea and dispose thereof as should be
enjoined upon them, and although the said 235 sacks 50 cloves were of
the number of the 2,000 sacks, and it appeared by the account of William
and Simon that they are of the merchants' own wool taken as aforesaid,
and the merchants paid the custom and subsidy due thereon in the port of
London in the said 12th year, and they had no allowance or bond therefor,
yet the treasurer and barons have charged the merchants with that wool,
whereupon they have besought the king to provide a remedy: the king
therefore orders the treasurer and barons to inspect the rolls and memoranda

to be of the lordship of the count of Hainault, and they shall certify the
king in chancery of the said security, as Peter has besought the king to
cause the ship and goods to be dearrested, as he and the ship are of the
parts of Breel of the lordship of the lord of Faukemont, and not of the
count of Hainault, and the ship and goods, which Peter has brought from
Breel to England, have been arrested by the bailiffs upon pretext of an
arrest granted to certain men of Colchester by reason of certain trespasses
inflicted upon them by men of the said count, and it has been testified that
Peter and the ship are of the said lordship, wherefore the king wishes to
show favour to Peter.
Feb, 28.    To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer.  Order to supersede the

Margery acquired that moiety for themselves and the heirs of their bodies
of John son of Hugh de Nevill, knight, who held it in chief without licence
and which was taken into the king's hand by reason of that trespass, and
that the said land is parcel of the manor of Wetheresfeld, which is held in
chief by the service of paying 10d. yearly to the king by the hands of the
bailiff of the hundred of Hengford in that county, the king pardoned John
that trespass by a fine which he made, and granted that land to him and to
Margery and to the heirs of their bodies, and by inquisition taken by the
present escheator the king has learned that John is now dead, and that he
held no lands in his demesne as of fee nor in service of the king in chief,

that whereas in the parliament at Westminster in the 12th year of the
reign they granted 20,000 sacks of wool to the king under a certain form,
and although the abbot paid his portion, yet the treasurer and barons, by
virtue of an ordinance made in the king's council at Northampton in the

in accordance with the rate of the fifteenth, cause other wool to be exacted

by that bishop, it is found that the said friars have the said rent of the
grant of one Robert de Bruys, of whom there is no memory, and the friars
have besought the king to order the rent to be paid to them, as he has
caused it to be taken into his hand among the other lands which belonged
to Robert at his death, and the king ordered the bishop to make known to
Ralph, who holds the lands which belonged to Robert of the grant of
Maurice de Berkele, to whom the king committed the custody of the lands
which belonged to Robert in that liberty, to hold under a certain
form until the heir should come of age, to be in chancery on the octaves

the king for the ferm of that priory and 40s. for apportium, and answer was
made therefor yearly until the 30th year of that reign, and in the roll of
the alien religous of the said 23rd year is: 'Of Master John de Lacy, fermor
of Cosham church, which he holds of the abbot of Marmoutier of subsidy
and rent, 25 marks,' and in the roll of the alien religious of the 24th year
that the same fermor renders 25 marks for the same, and so answer
was made yearly by that fermor and by the proctor of the said abbey
until the 31st year of the reign of Edward I; and by another
certificate of the treasurer and barons sent into chancery it was found
in the roll of the taxations of the spiritual goods of the clergy of the
archdeaconry of Wilts and the deanery of Malmesbury: 'the church of
Cosham, abbot of Marmoutier, Tours, rector, 40 marks, whereof the tenth
is 53s. 4d.,' as is fully contained in the said certificates, and these being
viewed before the king and his council, it seemed to the council that it was
clear by the certificates that the church is of the said abbot and annexed by
itself to the abbey, and that the ferm of the church for which answer was
made in the ferm of 721. yearly to Edward I, for the said priory, could not
be contained in the ferm of 50 marks which the present prior is now bound
to render for the custody of the priory and it cannot be said to pertain to
the priory, and the prior, who asserts that the church is annexed to the
priory, appearing before the king in chancery by process made against him
upon the premises, has not shown that the church ought to pertain to the
priory or that it ought to be contained in the ferm of 50 marks for the priory,
wherefore it was considered that the church should be taken into the king's
hand, so that answer should be made to him for the fruits and issues
thereof in the form aforesaid.

inquisition taken by the escheator that Richard at his death held no lands
in his demesne as of fee or in service, in chief or of any other, in that bailiwick, but that he held jointly with Claricia the said moiety, for their life,
of the gift and grant of Ed[mund] Everard, parson of Colstrewroth church,

is held in chief by the service of a knight's fee.

which they had in their possession from Master Paul de Monte Florum, by
indenture made between him and Philip de Weston and William de Northwell, the king's clerks, of the one part, and the said merchants of the other
part, for 45,000 gold crowns, extended at 8,0721. 10s. of sterlings, paid by

Shrewsbury lately impleaded before John de Stonore and his fellows,
justices of the Bench, at Westminster, the said John to render account for
the time when he was receiver of his money, and because John did not
come before the justices to answer Thomas, he was placed in exigent
in co. Salop, and was afterwards outlawed there, wherefore he rendered
himself to the Flete prison, so that the king pardoned him the outlawry
and gave him letters patent thereupon, and subsequently the process
thereupon being continued until the octaves of Midsummer last, by virtue
of the statute thereupon, the sheriff of Warwick was directed by writ

sent to him for the parliament and council where wool was granted, and
though he granted and paid the said tenth, and that the takers and purveyors of wool in co. Lincoln were directed to supersede levying wool of
him, yet the treasurer and barons exact wool of him, because his name is

king ordered the escheator to certify him upon the taking of the said
cottage and croft into the king's hand, and the escheator returned that a
croft and cottage built thereupon of the said abbot, in Otmore in Morecote,
were so taken, by indenture made between him and Robert fitz Elis, late
escheator in those counties, by reason of a trespass of the abbot in appropriating that croft, containing two perches in breadth and 80 perches in

River Frome, which the king committed to Peter for rendering 5s. at the
exchequer yearly. Dated at Wodestok on 11 July in the 35th year of the

Patent Roll, the tenor of which charter the king sends to the treasurer and
barons enclosed with these presents, and it is not found in the chancery
rolls of the said year that there is any commission of the said rent of these
houses of Jospinus in Gloucester, wherefore it is clear that the enrolment
of the commission of such houses to Peter was wrongly enrolled in the said
extracts.

Westminster the king's hand from the manor of Carleton, restoring the issues thereof, as
the king ordered the escheator to certify him why he took that manor into

earl Warenne by divers services, at his death, pretending that the prior held
other lands in chief in divers counties; and John de Jancourt, the present
prior, has besought the king to order his hand to be amoved and to cause

minor in the wardship of Thomas de Bello Campo, earl of Warwick, by the
service of a fourth part of a knight's fee and of rendering to the said heir or
his guardian 100s. yearly, and because it was found by the inquisition
post mortem of John that the heir is a minor in the king's wardship, when
he is not, Margaret feared to be unduly charged with the said rent towards
the king or John de Ravenesholm, to whom the king granted the custody
of the said land and heir until he should come of age, the king ordered the
escheator to take an inquisition upon the matter in the presence of John de
Ravenesholm, if he chose to attend, by which it is found that John de
Clynton of Maxstok at his death held no lands in chief by knight's service
or otherwise in that bailiwick whereby the custody of his land and heir ought
to pertain to the king, but that he held the tenements and rent aforesaid
of the earl of Warwick as mean between the earl and John de Cerne and
Margaret his wife by the fourth part of a knight's fee, whereby the heir of
John de Clynton, a minor, is in the earl's wardship, and that John de
Cerne and Margaret held the said tenements of the heir of John de
Clynton by the service of a fourth part of a knight's fee and of rendering
to the heir or his guardian 100s. yearly.

Exemplification of a process held in chancery between the king and the
prior of Tykfdrd upon the church of Cosham. The king ordered the sheriff
of Wilts by writ dated at Westminster on 25 October in the 18th year of
the reign in these words: Whereas the king lately committed to Adam de
Neubold, the king's clerk, the administration of all the fruits and issues of
Cosham church, diocese of Salisbury, which is of the alien abbey of
Marmoutier (majoris monasterii), Tours, and which was in the king's hand
by reason of the war with France, to hold during pleasure with all its
appurtenances, and now the king has learned from Adam that the prior of
Tykford, an alien, to whom the king committed the priory for rendering a
certain ferm yearly during the said war, claims that the church is parcel of
the priory and ought to pertain to him, although the church is not parcel
of the priory, as is said, as the prior occupies the church, the king ordered
the sheriff to cause the prior to be before the chancery fifteen days from
Hilary to show cause why that church should not be taken into the king's
hand and delivered to Adam to hold in accordance with the commission
thereof to him, and the sheriff returned in chancery that he so notified the
prior by John Prat and John le Clerk, and the prior came on that day and
says that the priory is a cell of the abbey of Marmoutier, in Frapce, and he
is amovable at the will of the abbot there, and Pope Alexander III by a bull
which he exhibited in the court, confirmed to the abbot and brethren there
several benefices in England pertaining to the obedientiarii of Neuport, in
whose limits the priory of Tykford is situated, and the said church is
mentioned as annexed to the priory in that bull, and the prior says that his
priory was taken into the king's hand among the houses of the alien
religious by reason of the war with France, and he holds it at ferm by the
king's commission, and the said church is of the appurtenances of the priory,

and he does not understand that the king can separate the church from
the priory and commit it to another; and Adam, who sues for the king,
says that the priory was taken into the hand of Edward I in the 23rd year
of his reign, and that the keeper of that house then rendered 601. for the
same to him as ferm and 40s. for apportum, and answer was made to the
king yearly for the said ferm and apportum until the 30th year of that
reign, and that Master John de Lacy, fermor of that church, which he held
of the abbot of Marmoutier, rendered to that king for subsidy and rent for
that 23rd year 25 marks, and answer was made for that sum yearly to the
king by the said fermor and by the proctor of the abbot until the 31st year
of that reign, before the houses of the alien religious were restored and upon
this he showed a certificate of the treasurer and barons of the exchequer,
by which it was found that the said priory was one by itself in the time of
Edward I and the church was one by itself, and he seeks that it may be
taken into the king's hand; and the prior says it is not found that that
king ever had the ferm of the church except at the time when the
possessions of the alien religious were in his hand, and then the church
was demised to John for rendering 25 marks yearly, by which demise and the
king's possession it is not proved that the church is not parcel of the priory,
and he is ready to prove that it is parcel of the priory and has been from
time out of mind, and it is not annexed to the abbey except as such, and
Adam says that by the certificate it is found that at the time of the said
taking the church belonged to the abbey and John held it of the abbot, and
answer was made as aforesaid for ferm and apportumn, extended at 781.
13s. 4d. and now the prior only renders 331. 6s. 8d. for the ferm of the
priory yearly which ferm exceeds a third part of the 781. 13s. 4d.; and by
another certificate under the exchequer seal it is found that the church is
of the abbot of Marmoutier Tours and is taxed by itself at 40 marks and
the tenth thereof 53s. 4d. and so it is clear that it is not parcel of the priory
but a distinct entity annexed to the abbey, that the prior unjustly occupied
it under colour of the said ferm of 50 marks, and he seeks judgment if the
prior ought to be admitted to verification against the certificate, and
he also seeks that the prior be charged with the entire ferm and
apportum  of 781. for the priory and 25 marks yearly for the church
from the time of the taking thereof, and that the church be taken into the
king's hands; and the said certificates having been examined and discussed,
it seemed to the justices that it was clear that the church is annexed to the
said abbey and the ferm thereof was not contained in the 621. yearly for
which answer was made to Edward I for the priory, and it cannot be
understood that the ferm of the church is included in the ferm of 50 marks
which the prior now renders yearly to the king for the priory, wherefore it
is considered that the church be taken into the king's hand and that answer
be made to him for the fruits and issues thereof from the time of the taking
of The houses of the alien religous and henceforth, so long as those houses
remain in his hand.
April 4.    To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to direct the taxers
WestminsterS and collectors of the tenth and fifteenth in co. Hertford to supersede the
demand made by them upon the prioress and nuns of Chesthunte for the
tenth and fifteenth until the rendering of their next account at the exchequer
so that in the meantime the king may be able to do for the prioress and
nuns what shall seem fitting to the council, as the prioress and nuns have
shown the king that although their house is so slenderly endowed that its
goods hardly suffice for their maintenance, unless they are aided by the
alms of the faithful, and the house, on account of its poverty, has not been
assessed or taxed for any tenth or other quota granted to the king in times

possessions of the alien religious of the power of France, and afterwards on
13 August last, in consideration of its poverty, the king ordered John de
Aston, sheriff of Salop and escheator there, to deliver the priory and its
possessions to the prior, except the knights' fees and advowsons, and by the
certificate of the treasurer and barons it appears that it is not found by
inspection of the chancery rolls that the prior is an alien, or that the priory
has ever been taken into the king's hand by reason of war with France
on account of the poverty of the house, and by an inquisition taken by the
escheator it is found that the prior is not of the lordship of the king of
France but of the king of England and he is datif at will of Fulc son
of Waryn, lord of Whytinton, patron of the priory, and that the lands and
rents pertaining to the priory which the prior holds for his own uses are
worth 41s. 2d. yearly and the church is worth 20 marks yearly, and the
prior has there divers animals price 91. 6s. and he has no other lands or

murage, pannage, quayage and other customs for things which they bought
in that town for works and other necessary things, restoring to them
anything which they have levied for that cause, as Henry 1IL granted that
the prior and brethren might buy things necessary for their own use
throughout the realm, and sell their goods and other things without toll or
any other custom, and now the king has learned from  the prior and
brethren that although they ought to be quit of murage, etc. by virtue of
that charter, yet the mayor and bailiffs exact them of them, whereupon they
have besought the king to provide a remedy, and it was not the king's
intention, when granting murage, etc. that the prior and brethren should
be charged therewith as their possessions are very slender, and they live
under a very strict rule.
MEMBRANE 8d.
May 28.     Exemplification of a process showing that on 8 December, in the 19th year
Westminster. of the reign, the king ordered the sheriff of Stafford to direct William de
Kildesby, the king's clerk, to be before the king in chancery on the morrow
of the Purification next, with his letters of collation to the church of
Cannok, which day the king gave to the dean and chapter of Lichfield, to
show cause why that collation should not be revoked, and further to do and
receive what the king's court should determine, as a former king, by a
charter confirmed by King Henry III granted to the church of St. Mary
and St. Chad, Lichefeld, and to Hugh, then bishop there, the town of
Cannok with the church and all its appurtenances to hold in frank almoin,
and at the complaint of the dean and chapter of Lichefeld showing that the
said bishop afterwards assigned that church for the maintenance of the
canons of Lichefeld, and the dean and chapter had held the church from the
time of that grant as annexed to the common of the canons, until Richard
de Hanyngfeld, chaplain, showing that it was a prebend in the king's free
chapel of Pencrich, obtained a collation to that prebend, and that collation
was revoked before the king and his council in chancery at the suit of the
dean and chapter, and it was considered that they should go without a day
therefor as might appear from the process held thereupon, and William
procured a new collation of the prebend to be made to him and endeavoured
under colour thereof to amove the dean and chapter from the possession of
that church, and they besought the king to provide a remedy in consideration
that the former collation had been revoked as aforesaid, and on 28 September in the 11th year of the reign the king ordered the sheriff to notify
William to be in chancery on Monday three weeks from Michaelmas then
following with the king's letters of collation, which day the king gave to the
dean and chapter, to show cause why that collation should not be revoked
and further to do and receive what the king's court should determine, and
the sheriff returned that he notified William by John Trumwyn and Adam le
Arblastrer to be in chancery on Monday, three weeks from Michaelmas as
aforesaid, on which day the dean and chapter by John de Aston and
Thomas de Marnham, their attorneys, and the said William came into
chancery at the New Temple, London, and William said that Master
Richard son of Ralph, pretending that he was dean of Lichefeld, ought not
to answer in that affair, because he was under sentence of major excommunication by the authority of John archbishop of Canterbury, and upon
this he showed letters patent under the archbishop's seal testifying this,

wherefore William was told to go without a day, and now the dean and
chapter have besought the king to provide a remedy, as the dean is absolved
from the said sentence, as may appear by the archbishop's letters shown in
chancery; and on the said morrow the dean and chapter came by William
de Heywode, and William by John de Tamworth, their respective attorneys,
and William says for the king and himself that the petition by which the dean
and chapter assert that the process was begun was not sued against the king
in parliament, and William is in possession of the church as a prebend in the
king's free chapel of Pencrich, by the king's collation, and so the king is in
possession of the advowson of the prebend, wherefore he does not understand
that the dean and chapter ought to be answered without making suit to the
king in parliament, and they say that the petition is endorsed and by the
contents it is not supposed that the petition is other than a petition of parliament or that they were out of the possession of the prebend at the time
of the livery of the petition to the king and council, but that William strives
to amove them from the possession of the church by virtue of the said
collation which was made in the right of another than the king, to wit by
reason of the archbishopric of Dublin, in the late king's hand, affirming that
the right of advowson is in the person of the archbishop of Dublin, and they
seek judgment if their prosecution ought to be impeded by William's allegation which can be proved untrue by the form of the said collation in the
chancery rolls of the 11th year of the reign; and upon this a day was given
to the parties on the quinzaine of Easter following, when William came by
his attorney and said that where the dean and chapter assert the church to
be by itself and annexed to the church of St. Mary and St. Chad, Lichfield
for the common maintenance of the canons there, the said church is a
prebend in the aforesaid chapel, in which several prebends are held and
there is a dean there, to wit, the archbishop of Dublin, if he is English,
and to him pertains the collation of all those prebends, but if he is Irish it
customarily pertains to the king, and he says that the king gave him the
prebend by reason of the temporalities of the archbishopric, then in his hand
by reason of a voidance, and William had the induction to the prebend, and
the induction was executed as of the right of the archbishop, who is
English, and as dean of the chapel is in possession of the advowson of the
chapel, against whom their suit is given by writ de recto, and he seeks
judgment thereupon; and the dean and chapter say that at another time
they showed royal charters and confirmations proving that the church is by
itself, and by the charter of Hugh late bishop etc. to them the prebend is
annexed to their church, and also a record whereby a like collation of that
church made under the name of a prebend in the chapel, by the king to
Richard de Hanyngfeld, was revoked by the king's court, which record,
charters and confirmations remain in force, and Williamn shows nothing by
which the church is proved to be a prebend of the said chapel, and not by
itself, or that any right of presenting was in the person of the archbishop,
dean of the chapel, or of the king, and they seek judgment if they ought to
answer to anything alleged for the king and William, and that the
collation be revoked; and William says that the collation ought not
to be revoked because the church, which the dean and chapter assert
to be by itself as aforesaid, is a prebend of the said free chapel and
has been from time out of mind, and he is ready to verify this, whereupon he seeks judgment etc. and the dean and chapter say that the
church is by itself and annexed to their church and they have been seised
thereof from the time of the donation made by Bishop Hugh, and they seek
that enquiry may be made by the country, and William also, and upon this
a day is given to the parties before the king on the morrow of Ascension
day, to do what is just in the premises, etc.

Westminster the king.  Whereas at the suit of Margaret late the wife of Stephen de
Asshewy, daughter and heir of John de Ifeld, and of Andrew Peverell and
Katherine his wife, second daughter and heir, by her petition showing that
one Roger Sauvage in the time of Henry III held the manor of
Gomeshulve, co. Surrey, of William de Brewosa by knight's service and 81.
yearly rent, and William and his heirs were seised of those services until
William de Brewosa, William's son and heir, granted them to John in the
late king's time, by virtue of which grant Roger Sauvage the younger, now
tenant of the manor, attorned himself to John for those services, and
although the manor was taken into the king's hand by reason of an
outlawry promulgated against Roger for felony, and was restored to John
as his escheat, as is customary, and he died seised thereof and the manor
descended to the said Margery and Katherine as his daughters and heirs,
and they and Andrew entered the manor and held it as lords, yet by colour
of an inquisition of office taken before Robert Parvyng and his fellows, late
justices appointed to hear and determine divers trespasses and excesses in that
county, by which it was pretended that the manor ought to escheat to the
king by reason of the said felony, they were amoved therefrom by the king's
ministers without due process being made against them in accordance with
the law and custom of the realm, and the king has sent their petition
for a remedy to the chancellor, ordering him to view the petition and
inquisition, and after calling and hearing those who ought to be called,
to cause justice to be done in the premises, by virtue of which order
Thomas de Dagworth and Eleanor his wife, tenants of that manor by the
king's grant to Eleanor, were to be warned to be before the king in chancery
on a certain day to show cause why the manor should not be resumed into
the king's hand and delivered to Margery, Andrew and Katherine and now
Andrew and Katherine, and Stephen, Margaret's son and heir, have besought
the king to grant that Stephen may join with Andrew and Katherine in
the taking of the inquisition and suing for the execution thereof, as process
went so far in that affair, while Margaret was alive that Thomas and
Eleanor alleged that they held the manor on the day of the felony, of the
king and not of John, and Margaret, Andrew and Katherine alleged that
they held the manor of John and not of the king, and they placed themselves
upon an inquisition of the country which remains to be taken, and that they
may proceed with the suit without new process being made by reason of
Margaret's death, or because Stephen was not a party to the petition: the

the abbey was founded and endowed and not of the appropriation of any

levied of the abbot and to supersede any exaction made upon him for wool

appear by the accounts of the collectors thereof, yet the treasurer and

as the king ordered the escheator to certify him why he had taken their
lands at Burton, co. Leicester, into the king's hand, and the escheator
returned that he had done so because he had found by inquisition of office
that the master and brethren, who held the tenements of their feoffors,
were bound to find a chaplain continually resident there to celebrate
divine service for the king's ancestors and for all the faithful departed
and.to find a smith to stay continually in a smithy there to shoe the horses
of those coming, at the cost of the master and brethren, who have withdrawn those alms for 50 years past, and afterwards the master and brethren
besought the king to order his hand to be amoved, as one William Burdet
long before the publication of the statute of mortmain, assigned to them
the said messuage and carucate, which are the tenements aforesaid, in
frank almoin, without any other charge, and the king ordered the escheator
to take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found that the said
messuage and land are the same as the said tenements and that William de
Burdet assigned them to the master and brethren as aforesaid.

Exemplification of a process showing that on 10 November in the 18th
year of the reign the king ordered the sheriff of Cumberland to notify John
de Wateby, John de Morland and Thomas de Warthecop, chaplains, to be
in chancery on the octaves of Hilary following to show cause why the
manors of Brouham, Kyngesmeburn, Appelby, Langetton, Wynton,
Kirkebystephan, Burgh under Staynesmore and Soureby near Burgh, a
messuage, a mill, 56 acres of land, 600 acres of wood, 70 acres of moor in
Temple Soureby, Kirkebythore, Whynstel and Sandford, the office of the
shrievalty of Westmorland and the advowsons of the abbey of Hepp' and of
the churches of Kirkebythore, Merton and Brouham, which are held in
chief, should not be taken into the king's hand and why they should not
be charged with the issues thereof and further to do and receive what the
king's court should determine, as by a fine of 401. which Robert de Clifford
made with the king, he gave him licence to enfeoff John, John and Thomas
of the premises and to give them seisin thereof, and to grant them to Robert
and to the heirs male of his body, and the said John, John and Thomas
have occupied the premises, which are held in chief, from the time of
Robert's death, which ought to pertain to the king by reason of the
minority of Robert's heir until that heir should come of age, and the
sheriff returned that he notified the said John, John and Thomas by
Thomas de Stanes and John Hobson, and on the said day the chaplains
came by Thomas de Sandford and William de Sandford, their attorneys,
and said that Robert de Clifford, by deed dated at Hert on 24 February, in
the 18th year of the reign, granted the premises to John, John and
Thomas, which deed he showed in court, and Robert delivered seisin to
them on Monday after Palm Sunday following, and wishing to resume his
estate therein by a fine levied in the king's court, he brought a writ of agreement before the justices of the Bench against those chaplains for the said
manors etc. returnable three weeks from Easter following, and because the
chaplains were not then seised of the shrievalty or of the services of the free
tenants of the manors and lands, by the assent of Robert they made default
and had a day by the rolls of the justices upon the process begun by the
writ of agreement, on the octaves of Trinity following, and Robert died
before those octaves, wherefore the chaplains could not grant the premises
to him according to the licence, but they dowered Isabel, late Robert's wife,
with a third part thereof, and they are ready to enfeoff Robert's heir with
the premises and the reversion of the said dower, wherefore they do not
understand that as Robert did not die seised of the premises, and they had
no estate therein except by the licence, why the king should have the said
issues or the custody of the heir, and William de Thorp, who sues for the
king, says that the king gave licence to Robert to enfeoff the chaplains with
the premises upon condition that they should grant them to Robert and the
heirs of his body, as fully appears by the said licence, so that the king
should have the custody and marriage of the heir if Robert should die
when his heir was under age, and the other profits pertain to the king as
of his true tenant, and the chaplains have remained in possession by fraud
and contrary to the form of licence, to take away the custody from the king
and disinherit the heir, and he seeks that the manors, etc. be taken into the
king's hand and that answer be made to the king for the issues from the.time of Robert's death; and deliberation being taken thereupon by the
chancellor, treasurer, justices of the Bench and William de Shareshull, chief
baron of the exchequer, it seemed by the licence and by the inquisition
post mortem of Robert, which contains that the chaplains were seised of the
premises upon such condition only, that it was the intention both of the
king and Robert that they should grant seisin thereof to Robert and the
heirs of his body, and that they could have no estate therein except in that

form, and because after the enfeoffment, during Robert's life, to wit from
the said Monday to 20 May following, when he died, as is found by the said
inquisition, when they could have enfeoffed him of the premises, they did
not do so, but still remain in possession, it is clear that this is to the king's
danger and to the disinheriting of the heir, and therefore with the assent
of the chancellor and others it is considered that the premises be taken
into the king's hand, to hold as a custody until the heir come of age, and
that answer be made to the king for the issues from the time of Robert's
death.

his war, and to pay it to the one deputed to receive it in the city of London

have allowance of 10,0001. of the debts which he owes to them and others
by letters patent and by bills of the wardrobe for the time when Sir William
de Northwell, Sir William de Cusance, Sir William de Edynton and Sir
Walter de Wetewang have been keepers there so that they surrender the
said letters and bills at the exchequer in the king's discharge, and with

allowance to John in the said customs and subsidies of debts due as aforesaid by reason of a loan of 20,000 marks which he made to the king, shall
be allowed to him and to Simon and Richard in the form aforesaid; and
during the term such customers and weighers shall be appointed in all
the ports of England where there is a passage of wool as the said merchants
shall name for this and they shall be answerable to the merchants for the
customs and subsidies, and because of the great deceit made in the passage
of wool in the port of Berwick upon Tweed to take from the king the subsidy
which belongs to him the king wishes the coket to be closed in that port,
so that no wool pass there during the said term; and the king grants that
if by the closing of the cokets, by the arrest of ships, or otherwise by ordinance
of the king or his council, the passage of wool is forbidden or disturbed, so
that the merchants cannot be served with the customs and subsidies as they
ought, then the king shall restore to them the damages which they have

to Flanders, during the truce with France, by certain pirates and malefactors
of France, the king ordered all the mayors, sheriffs, bailiffs, ministers and
lieges of England to arrest the persons and goods of those malefactors, and
other men and merchants of France, and keep them safely until further
order, and the bailiff returned that he had arrested at Salisbury the said
James and John with two horses of James price 2 marks, and 4j cloths
price 100s.; and now James and John have besought the king to order
their release, as they have made stay in England for five years and more
and traffic there as legal merchants and natives of the realm, and they have
not communicated with other men of France or done any wrong whereby
they ought to be arrested.
Jan. 7.     To the sheriff of Cambridge. Order to cause proclamation to be made,
The Tower. upon sight of these presents, that no one, upon pain of forfeiture, shall hunt
in the king's free warrens in that county, or do anything to the detriment
of the king's sport there without his special licence, and if the sheriff by
inquisition or otherwise find any doing the contrary after the proclamation
he shall inform the king of their names, without delay, so that the king
may be able to punish them.
Jan. 27.    To the cardinals coming to England. The king on 26 January has
Westminster. received their letters dated at Lyons on 13 December, by which they
announce that the pope, desiring to make peace between the king and his
adversaries of France, has sent them to treat thereupon and desiring him to
send them a safe conduct by Maceot their messenger, the king replies that
though he desires peace he will not and cannot enter upon such a truce
without the assent and advice of his allies of parts beyond and of his other
lieges there, to which parts the king is proceeding, and they will always
find him ready to accept a reasonable peace; and he has lately given this
reply to the archbishop of Ravenna, the pope's envoy, by the advice of the
magnates and the great council. French.e0   [F17rdera.]
*This entry rightly belongs to the 20th year of the reign, though it is wrongly ascribed
by Rymer to the 19th year.
