William Petresone, Peter Bellard, and John Westland, of Flanders, and
loaded the same with wool, wool-fells, and other merchandise to the value
of 4,000/. sterling to be taken to Flanders to trade there, and that certain
armed malefactors of the power of the count of Flanders enti^red and took
the ships on their voyage thither against the Scheldt {la Sheide) and took
them to Aberden in Scotland, and delivered the wool and merchandise
aforesaid to other Flemings who were then with the king's enemies there,
by whom they were afterwards carried to Flanders, the king wrote to the
count of Flanders requesting him to hear the complaint of the said mer-
chants or their attorney, and to cause speedy justice to be done to them ; but
the count has wholly failed to do them justice, as appears by the certificate of
the community of Beverley under their common seal : wherefore the king
orders the said bailiffs to retain goods to the value of 100/. out of the goods
of Flemings lately arrested by them at his order, although the king's order
for delivery of the said goods may make no mention of any retention
in favour of the above merchants, which goods are to be detained until

John de Thorp and William de Morwode, clerk, that Bobert Malet
formerly founded the said priory, and that it is subject to the abbey of
Bernay {Berniaco) in Normnndj, as a cell thereof, so that neither a prior
nor a monk ought to be msde therein without the assent of the abbot of
Bernay, and that Bobert Malet and his heirs took nothing of the gcods of
the priory upon Toidance, but used to place a gatekeeper at the priory gate
in sign of their lordship, who was maiutnined by the priory during the
Toidance, and who ought to receive 5s. or an ox at the inittallation of the

the king that the escheator detains certain issues of these lands, although
he has delivered seisin of tlie same to Philip in accordance with the king's
order, issued because it was found by inquisition taken by the eechealor
that Philip Pertrich held oE the king at his death divers lands in Estwode

Richard Wake and John Wyp, acknowledged by the count's envoys et the
parliament of Esbiunford, in the third year of the king's reign, ibr which
the count bound himself to Robert Elis of Great Yarmouth, who became
surety for piiyment of the same to the said merchants, and between William
de Brawod nnd John de Turnar, the count's envoys sent by him to request
the king to niake inquisition concerning ihe said arrests, so that the count
might cause the said merchants to be satisfied for what was slill due to them.
It was found by inquifitioii that goods to the value of 101. 17*. iid, were
arrested at Great Yarmouth, in the fourth year of the king' reign, and were

of Dreux, lord of that town, to do justice to Philip for the ship and tackle
and for his damages, which amounted to 40/. sterling, but the count did
nothing in the matter, as appears hy the testimony of the bailiffs and
burgesses of Ipswich by their letters patent; by reason whereof Philip
recovered, by divers of the late king's writs to the sheriffs of London and
Southampton, 20/. 8*. \0d. from men of the count's power, as appears by
the return of the writs in the late king's chancery ; the king lately ordered
them to arrest goods of the men of St. Valery to the value of 69/. 11*. 2c/.,
the remainder of the .•*um due to Philip, and they have returned that they
have arrested a ship, value 15 marks, half of which belongs to Waleric la

Matthew afterwards asserted in chancery that the arrest was unjustly made,
the said Philip asserting the contrary ; whereu|M)n the king ordered the

mainprize of Philip de Beauveys, Roger de Lcnn, and James Pe de Lu, of
London, who mainperned in chancery to answer ibr the above 19 marks to

does not appear to him that the process in this mntter begun and approved
in the late king's time, as appears by the rolls of his chancery, ought to be
cancelled (irritari) or annulled without deliberation of greater counsel,
now orders the said eherilfs to compel the mainpernors to satisfy Philip

deficiency, with like clause for restitution by the king in case the English
goods seized in Flanders were insutfi(!<ont to satisfy the Flemish merchants
for their goods seized in Entrland ; and it was found by inquisitions that the

countess were worth 4,0()0/. sterling more than the Flemish goods seized in
England ; which sum the count, did not {my, although often I'equei'ted to do

community of the city of London were bound to certain burgesses of Gh*»nt
on behalf of Henry III., which lie found deposited in a certain place, should

wrote to him requesting him to do speedy justice to the said citizens :

used to have for the repair of the same in times past ; whereupon the king
ordered William de Ormesby and Robert de Reydon to enquire into the

of the palisade and 80 feet of the causeway, the men and tenants of Badym-
ham ought to repair 40 perches of the palisade and 61 feet of the causeway,

men and tenants of Laxfeld 40 perches and 100 feet respectively, the men

they have been wont to do so time out of mind by reason of their tenements
held in those townn at fee- farm of the honour aforesaid by demise from a
duke of Louvaine, formerly lord of that honour, who first ordained the
enclosure of the park, and that the said men and tenants have been wont to
have from that time for the repair of the palisade and causeway timber out of

their cost, and that they have been wont to take and dig soil in the land of
the honour near the causeway by delivery of the bailiff, and to take brush-
wood unfit for timber together with the remainder of the felled trees that
were not required for the repairs, and that the perches and feet afore-
said are insuiiicient to enclose the park or repair the causeway because the
township of Kelton ought to repair 40 perches of the aforesaid palisade and
70 feet of the causeway, and the men of the soke of Eye ought to repair
54^ perches of the palisade and 120 feet of the causeway, and the lords of

it to Richard, late king of Alinain, who afterwards gave it to the abbot

king and his council in parliauK^nt at London, in the eighth year of his
reign, complaining of Sir Ailam dt* OsgCKluby, keeper of the house of the
Conversi, London, in this form : The said chaphiins, who are chargini and
sworn fi-om their infancy to pray for the king and his ancestors, and the
other Conversi of [x)ndon who are houseless (desherhenjez)^ say that whereas
Henry IIL mive in common bv his charter to all Conversi awd all to bt'
converted and housed the plot where the court of tlie Conversi is inliabited,
Sir Adam de ()sgo<l(4»y, their ke(»|)er, ought [to allow] them their habita-
tions in their said close, but that he keeps them out and harbours his clerks
there, and aHows strangers and horst^s to be harboured there, and that he
has demised some of their tenements where they might be housed to strangers
for the term of thn^e lives by their common s<»al without their assent, to the
prejudice of the king, to whom the tenements ought to n'vert after their
dav : wherefore thev prav that such demis<*s shall be annulled, and that tlh'V

and to be inhabitatisl solelv bv them, and as the matins nnd masses of the
said chaplains, of the alms of the kings their founders, are worth as much as

Which [wiition having been exhibited, it was decidwl by the council that
it should be delivered to the chancellor as principal keep(»r of all the hospitals
or almshouses founded of the king's alms, so that he might do what he should
think fit conciTuing it. Havinu: inspected the |)etition, the chanctdlor sent
Robert de Rardelby and Robert de Askcby, clerks of the chancery, to the

him concerning the same. The said Robert and Robert, having caUed
l>efore them the aforesaid parties on Mf>nday the feast of St. Tiburtius and
Valerian, in the chaixd of the Conversi, made inquisition by all the Conversi
dwelling in the house and others then present; wlici*eby it was f bund, by
the oath of the Convf^rsi, that the stiid William never had a fixed res^idence
within the house, but that he had access to the house in the time of Sir
Henry le Aumener, hite keejwr of the siime, sometimes passing the night in
the bouse, but that the said kee|)er prohibited him froai dwelling there or
being received thei"ein, and deprived him of his wages, on account <^f divers
crimes whereof he defamed the whole counnunity of the Conversi then con-
versant in th(» house, and whereof he accused them by letters t(> the k«vjx?r,
all the Conversi having afterwards purged themselves of the same before the
keeper. They also say that Adam, the present keeper, allowed the saiil
William his wages of his special grace against the will and assent of the
Conversi. They .siiy that he is not fit to <hvell within the house, and that
they will not |»ermit this in any wises and, in answer to the question
whether he was fit to receive his wages, tlicy sav that this depends uj)()n the
grace of the keeper. As to the two tenements, they say that they were

as they are demised ui a higher ferm than before, and the tenants have to do

king understands that the populace have conspired to intermeddle with the
elections and that they attend the elections without being summoned or
called and hinder the elections being made, endeavouring to elect such as
favour their errors so that their crimes may pass unpunished by those so
elected. The election is to be made by the aldermen and more discreet

learns from various petitions before him and his council in the present
parliament that men of religion and others are much oppressed by the
taking of their corn, cattle and goods by ilie king's purveyors and others
and by the frequent coming of the king's magnates and ministers to the
houses of religion. He is to proclaim that all persons so aggrieved and
wishing to recover damages against the offenders shall come to chancery
to seek remedy, the king having enjoined the chancellor not to delay doing
justice to those so complaining.

Bedeworth being then alive and seised, and that after their death John de
Asshebj, brother of William, entered the premises by intrusion and enfeoffed
Robert de Assheby his son and Margaret, daughter of Roger Hymayns,
thereof in free marriage ; after whose death Joan, daughter of the said
Margaret and wife of the aforesaid Alan, entered the premises, which the
escheator took into the king's hands as escheat .by the felony committed by
the said William ; whereupon, because it appeared by the rolls of chancery
of Henry III., that the said king pardoned one William son of William of
Great Assheby the suit of his peace for the death of Hugh le Rus, provided
that he stood to right if any one should speak against him, and granted that
he should retain all his lands except the lands and fees in Cateby and Assheby
Magna granted by the said king to Edmund his son and to Thomas de
Tholouse, the king commanded the said escheator to make inquisition, in
the presence of Alan and Joan, whether the said William son of William of
Great Assheby was the same as the WilHam of whom the escheator made
mention in his return as above, and if so, whether he died in the said king's
peace, and whether John his brother entered the lands in Theddyngworth

land in the same town, acquired from Clement Fraunceys and William his
son, and 20 acres of land and 84 acres of meadow in the same town,
acquired from William le Here, taken into the king*8 hands by the said
escheator on the grounds that they had been acquired after the publication
of the statute of mortmain without licence from the late or present kings,

ten years before the publication of the statute.

June 28. To the same. Order to deliver to Joan, late the wife of Richard de
Westminster. Dupedene, as nearest [friend] of his heir Nicholas her son, a third of the

service of S3s. 4</., and that he held no other lands in chief as of the crown
by reason whereof the custody of his lands should pertain to the king, by

Westminster, intermeddle further with the manor of La Grave, taken into the king's
hands upon the death of Theobald de Gayton, and to restore the issues of

in fee, but that he held it for life, and that it ought to remain to Saer son
and heir of Ralph de Rocheford by virtue of a fine levied between Theobald
de NeviU and tiie said Ralph de Kocheford at Lincoln, in the 12th year of

and because they were inhibited by the treasurer and barons from leaving
the aforesaid {sic) county whilst engaged upon the collection, the late king

collect the fifteenth in the said twentieth year, whereas they were appointed
in the eighteenth year of his reign.

fying that William Cleyesone, in whose possession the said ship was arrested
at Yarmouth, was from the town of Stonbergh in Brabant and an inhabi*
taut of Braltant and not of Bruges or any town pertaining to it, and that
the uliip with the goods and tackle truly belonged to him, the king ordered

mitted upon them by the men of Bruges and Sluys, was arrested in the
port of Great Yarmouth and delivered to the said William and his fellows
. at the said appraisement, the process in such cases required havine been
duly observed, in part satisfaction of 100/. of 278/. due to them for the
said trespass, and that it was delivered to the merchants loDg before receipt
of the king's order to deliver her to William Cleyssone ; as it is not con-
sonant with reason that what has been terminated by reasonable and due
process and executed should be cancelled or revoked to the injury of
another, and as it appears to the king that the goods arrested at Stonbergh
belong to the burgesses and merchants of Ipswich and ought not to be
detuned on this account, the king requests the duke to cause speedy justice
to be done to the said merchants of Ipswich according to law merchant,
lest complaint again reach the king, so that it would behove him to provide
them with another remedy. The king hopes that the duke will not permit
his subjects to injure the king's subjects, and desires him to certify the

called to the ownership of the monastery, in which the king will assist him,
as the king learns from trustworthy accounts that Alexander, when lately
filling an office in the monastery, dissipated the goods of the monastery in
divers ways, giving them to his relations contrary to his profession, and
that, because he has been deprived of his office, he now raises contentions
and schisms amongst the brethren, the king desiring to preserve the quiet
of that church on account of the devotion to it of his progenitors, the foun-
ders thereof, especially to St. Thomas the Martyr, and because he and his
predecessors received the royal unction from that church. The king has
ordered the prior and convent to assist and counsel the archbishop in exe-

fully observed, the English people there grew and multiplied, and extended
the boundaries of the church ; but that afterwards the justices of those parts
caused and permitted persons indicted of felonies to be redeemed for small
ransoms, and sometimes for nothing, to wit taking for the slaying of an
Englishman, robbery, and larceny 100/., or 100[*.], 40[5.J, or 20s, ; by reason

English and Irish felonp, who do not fear committing homicides, arsons,
larcenies, and robberies, under the hope of obtaining such pardons, and
because the faithful subject? dare not indict them, nor say the truth con-
cerning them in judgment, lest they should be slain or destroyed on account

delivered the king's letters of request to them by John de RotheweU, his

taken by the late king*s escheators and other ministers and bailiffs for bis

executors for the above cause, and of what the afore^iid abbot and convent
owed him ; and they signified to him that he owed to the sai<l executors

the arrears of a moiety of ecclesiastical benefices granted to him ni the

arrears of tne tenth of benefices in that archdeaconry in the 24th year of

and be has frequently asked the treasurer and barons to cause allowance to
be made therefor to him in his debts due to the exchequer, in accordance
with the orders of the late and the present king, nevertheless the treasurer

Dec. 16. To the bailiff of Holdernesse. Whereas dissension has arisen between

Clipston. certfdn of the bonds (de bondis) of the manor of Brustwyk by reason of the
contrariety of two customs in that manor, to wit certain of them asserting
the custom to be that when any tenant in bondage dies, his wife, if she
survive, ought to hold her husband's tenements in bondage for her lifetime
without piiying any ^^ or relief for the tenements after her husband's death,
and if she take a second husband, then the second husband ought to make
fine for entry and for marrying the widow, and that the second husband
ou^hl to hold the tenements in bondage for fdl his life, although his wife die
before him ; other of the bonds alleging, on the contrary, that there is no
such custom there, but another custom that after the death of the woman
thus married to a second husband, the heirs of her first husband ought to
be admitted to make fine for their ancestors' tenements, and that the second
husband ought to be amoved from such tenements after his wife's death,
and the tenements ought to be delivered to the heirs of the first hnsband
by such fine ; the king appointed John de Sutton, Robert le Conestable of
Holdernesse, and Walter de GoushiU, bailiff of the aforesaid manor, or two
of them, to enquire concerning the customs by the oaths of the freemen and
bonds of that manor and of all the towns pertaining to it, in the presence

of those whom the matter concerns ; by which inquisition it was found that
in the times of the earls of Albemarle and lords of Holdernesse, and in
times past a custom was always used in the manor and the towns pertaining
to it that when a tenant in bondage died, his wife, if she survived, should
hold for life her husband's tenements in bondage without paying any fine
or relief after her husband's death, and if she took a second husband, and
afterwards died, the heirs of her first husband ought to be admitted to make
fine for their ancestors' tenement, and that the second husband ought to
be amoved from the tenements after his wife's death; and afterwards,
because certain of the bonds and second husbands appeared before the king
and asserted that they have long held their tenements in the manor in
bondage by the other custom^ and that there are more in the manor who
hold by the same custom as they do than hold by the custom found by the
above inquisition, the king, wishing to be certified what number of bonds
hold by one custom and what by the other, and if the second husbands
holding the first husband's tenements after the death of their wives hold
them * by default or negligence of the heirs of the first husband, to wit for
the reason that the heirs were unable to do the services therefor due, or
that they did not demand the land after the wives' deaths, or otherwise,
and if such heirs being so unable or negligent ought to be afterwards
admitted to make fine for the tenements held by the second husbands through
their default or negligence, or if the second husbands ought to hold them
for life, and how many second husbands thus hold by default or negligence
of the heirs, ordered the aforesaid John, Robert, and Walter to enquire
concerning these points ; by which inquisition it was found that there are
more in the manor holding by the custom found by the first inquisition than
by the other, and that the heirs of the first husbands ought to be admitted
to make fine for their ancestors' tenements after the death of the wives so
married to second husbands, if they came soon {recenter) after the
death of the wives, and if they were able to do the services, otherwise they
were not to be admitted to make fine ; the king, considering by himself and
his council that it is more reasonable and expedient that the custom for the
heirs of the first husband should be observed at his will, orders the bailiff
to observe that custom henceforth in the manor, unless ordered otherwise
by the king. By C.

cerning the entry upon the said land ; and afterwards he came not in

said bishop his uncle held in chief, and restored the same to him,
and ordered Malculm de Harlegh, escheator this side Trent, to cause

the late king's escheator was wont to go to the priory, and to take a seisin
there in the name of the king's lordship, and to depute a gatekeeper at the

was informed by the executors that Henrj de Percy held the said manor ia
his lifetime by knight service as of the aforesaid castle, which is now in the
king's hands on account of the minority of the earFs heir, and that the earl
entered the manor after Henry's death, because his heir was under age, and
assigned a third thereof in dower to Eleanor, late the wife of Henry, and
held the other two parts in name of wardship up to his death, and that John
le Ireys, to whom the king, after the earl's death, committed the custody of
the castle and lands pertaininc^ to it, the custody thereof having come to the
king's hands on account of the minority of the earl's heir, seised the srid
two parts into the king's hands a:) if the earl had died seised thereof in his

custody of the castle, and the present kee[>er detains the same from the

learns that Henry de Percy held the manor of the earl as of the castle
aforesaid by the service of a third of a knight's fee and by homage, and by
doing suit of the earl's court of Graynesford, and that the earl entered the
manor in the name of custody after Henry's death on account of the minority
of his heir, and that he assigned a third thereof to the aforesaid Eleanor in
dower, and that he held the other two parts for a year and a half before his
death in name of wardship, and that he died seised thereof in form afore-
said ; and that after his death the aforesaid John, who had the custody of

with the other lands of the earl, and detained them from the executors all
the time during which he had the custody, to wit from Thursday after the

St. Martin next following, and that William Druvell, then the king's
receiver of the aforesaid castle, received the issues of the two parts for that
Martinmas term to the value of 10/., and that after John left the custody,
John de Castro, keeper of the same castle, likewise detained the two parts
from the executors I'rom the said octaves until Christmas following, but that
he received nothing therefrom during that time, and that the present keeper
of the castle still detains the two parts, and that he has received the issues
thereof for his time, to wit from Christmas aforesaid until now, to the value
of 30/., and that the two parts are worth 20/. yearly in all issues.

de N^orfolk, the abbot's fellow canons, brother Eichurd de Ely n (on, lay

Makary to be appealed at Waltham Holy Cross by William Chnunterel, the

felonies and robberies in the counties of Essex and Hertford, and caused
him to be arrested and imprisoned at Waltham until he was acquitted there-
of before William de Goldington and his fellows, the king's justices to
deliver that gaol, and to send at the same time the original writ and all
things touching the matter, and not to intermeddle further with the same.

and depth of 24 feet, and strengthened the ditch with a strong peel (pela)^
and constructed there and elsewhere in the city bretasches {bretackia)^
chains, springalds {springalda), and other engines to attack and approach
the castle, so that no person in the castle could leave the castle towards the
town in any way, retaining the town against the king and prepai'ing other
things in express rebellion against him with banners raised ; the king,
wishing to have further information concerning these actions and to recall
the community to obedience by gentle means, has caused Aymer de
Valencia, earl of Pembroke, William Inge, «lohn de Insula, and John do
Mutford to be sent to Bristol to inform themselves fully concerning the

name and by his authority, ways and means to punish the community, aa
contained in the king's letters paU^nt to the aforesaid Williato and John de
Insula and John de Mutford ; and although they and the earl went to that
town and endeavoured to induce the community to obey the king by gentle
ways and means offered by them to the community on the king's behalf, the
community wholly refused to obey the king in the premises ; wherenpon
the earl, with the counsel of the said William and John de Insula, according
to the power granted to them by the aforesaid letters, enjoined the aheriff
of Somerset to cause proclamation to be n.ade forbidding any one to com-
mnnicate with any of the said community, or to sell, lend, or minister to
them victuals or other necessaries, and to arrest any whom he should find
infringing this prohibition, as the earl has signified to the king by his letters,
and the said William and John de Insula have explained to the king bj

that they lately sent to Brabant by Thomas de Haveringg', their servant,
21 barrels of honey, price 504/., and 7 tuns of wine, price 49/., to trade there
with the same, and the masters, Schevins^ and bailiffs arrested the honej and
wine without reasonable cause, and detained the same for some time, the
king requested them to restore the honey and wine to the said Thomas ; and
afterwards, because he was given to understand that Luke and Jamea sus-
tained damage to the amount of 240/. sterling by reason of the arrest and
detention of their goods, the king requested the masters, echevins^ and
bailiffs to cause suitable amends to be made to the said Luke and James for
such damages; to which they replied that lately, on account of many
grievous damages inflicted by the Flemings upon the men of Brabant and of
that town, and also on account of a general prohibition of any one taking
any goods or victuab to Flanders, they arrested the aforesaid wine and
honey when thev were found among certain goods of the men of Flanders
arrested by certam men of their parts, and that they detained the honey
and wine aforesaid until they received the king's letter from the said mer-
chants, and that they then caused the honey and wine to be restored, taking
oath and security from the attorney of the said merchants that he would cause
the honey and wine to be taken elsewhere in Brabant and not to Flanders,
the attorney having made them a good acquittance of the aforesaid arrest,
adding in their letter that, after the delivery, the said attorney went to Q-hent
in the middle of Flanders with the honey and wine, and there sold the same,
contrary to his oath and security and the aforesaid prohibition, wherefore
they prayed the king to hold them excused concerning the premises ; the
king nevertheless requests them to cause amends to be made to Luke and
James according to his former request, as the merchants have shewn in the
king's court that the wine and honey were taken to Andwerp in Brabant
and there sold, and it is not reasonable that Luke and James should incur
such damages by reason of the aforesaid acquittance, which was probably
made through fear. They are to certify the king by the bearer of their
proceedings.

consideration of the grant and surrender to him by William de Yescy of
the castle, manor, and county of Kildare, with all appurtenances and

the aforesaid Thomas, keepers of the peace in the county of Wilts, that,
although the sheriff of that county has received from Henry and Stephen
sufiicient mainprise for their appearance before John de Bello Campo of
Somersete and his fellows, whom the king appointed to hear and determine
felonies and trespasses in that county, at the next gaol-delivery to stand to
right before them, the said John Randolf and Thomas de Chaucombe have
caused the mainpernors to be arrested and imprisoned until Henry and
Stephen should appear, and have caused the chattels of Henry and Stephen
to be confiscated as chattels of fugitives, although they ought to appear
before the said John de Bello Campo and his fellows, and not before them,
which steps they have taken because the names of Henry and Stephen were
delivered to them by the sheriff with the names of those indicted before the
said keepers, no mention being made of the form of the mainprise,

appointed by the king for this purpose, that the aforesaid house was in the
time of Henry III. in the seisin of divers tenants there dwelling, who
held it of Bichard de Ware, then abbot of Westminster, as of the right of
the church of St. Peter's Westminster, by fealty and the service of 3#.
yearly, and that the said tenants and all the residents there held the
house aforesaid of the abbot and his predecessors by the said services from
time out of mind, and that afterwards, in the 51st year of the said king's
reign, one William Amaud, a knight of the said king's, acquired the house
from the aforesaid tenants, and that he gave it, by the said king's licence,
to the aforesaid prior and brethren, and that the aforesaid ab£>t and his
successors were always seised from Uie time of his grant of the aforesaid
fealty and service of 3«. yearly as chief lords of that fee from the prior
and his successors from the said house, until the eve of the Assumption last,
when Hugh de Ebor[aco], late brother of the order, died there, after whose
death the king caused the house to be taken into his hands, and that one
Reginald le Barber and Isolda his wife, tenants of a part of it, before the
aforesaid William acquired it, chafed their part with 4«. of rent sec, to be paid
yearly to Walter, then bishop of Durham, and his successors, which bidiqp
and his successors have hitherto always been seised of that rent until the
death of the aforesaid brother Hugh, and that a certain tenant, whose name

acquired it, with Z$, of rent sec, to be paid to the prioress and nuns of
Kdebum, wherein his daughter was made a nun, which prioress and her
successors were always seised of that rent until the death of the aforesaid
brother Hugh, and that William Amaud, after he acquired the house, did
not yield it into the hands of Henry Ui., but that he gave it to the prior
and brethren by the licence and will of the said king, and that the house is
not charged with w^ other rent or service to any other lord ; wherefore
William, abbot of Westminster, chief lord of that fee, has prayed the king

minority of the heir of Joan de Grey, and to cause recompense to be made
to him out of other wardships or marriages for 44«. yearly paid and to be
paid by him to Geofirey de Boxore, whi<£ the king has ordered him to pay
because it was found by inquisition taken by Master John Walewayn,
escheator this side TVent, that the said Geoffrey used to receive and ought
to receive this sum for life from the said manor by the feoffment of Margery
de Bolehntfa, late lady of the same manor, and that he was seised thereof in

manor, until the manor was taken into the king's hands upon Joan's death
on account of her heir's minority, and that Geofirey had not received the

beyond the suras acknowledged as due to the aforesaid merchants, there
remained 87/. due to Robert to be paid before the aforesaid bond could
rightfully be taken from his hands ; and because the aforesaid Richard and

express consent of the parties, that the aforesaid 87/. due to Robert from

Robert and Walter bound themselves by oath before the king to do, and that
the money thus levied should be equally divided between Robert and the

the said matter in any wise, and that indenture should be made between
them of the sums received until Robert be satisfied for the sums due to
him, amounting to 374/. 16^. (kf., and that afterwards the envoys should
receive all the money levied as above for the use of the count until the
whole sum contained in the aforesaid deed have been levied from the
merchants, fishermen, and mariners aforesaid ; on account whereof the king
caused Walter and Henry to levy the above sums ; and whereas Walter le
Keu has acknowledged in chancery that 116/. Zs. id. of the aforesaid 954/.
belong to Roger de Boslingthorp, citizen of Lincoln, one of the aforesaid
merchants, as his own debt on account of the robberies aforesaid, adding
that Roger was bound to him in divers sums of money by way of loan and
by reason of the suit and expenses made by Walter about the recovery of
the debt aforesaid ; wherefore the king orders the baililEs to arrest
58/. Is. 9\d. of the money arising from the aforesaid levy in their bailiwick
of the portion of Walter and his fellows, and to cause that sum to be safely
kept under their seals and the seals of Walter and Roger until what justice

March 3. To Master John Walewayn, escheator this side Trent. Order to deliver
Wettminiter. to Clement de Morton a messuage and two virgates of land in Boklond,
which were taken into the king's Lands because he acquired them for his
life from John de Lenham, who held them of the king in chief, and entered
the same without the king's licence, and to restore the issues received
thence, as it appears by inquisition taken by the escheator that it would not
be to the damage of the king or any one else if he granted that Clement
might hold the premises for life, and that he ought to pay 20f. yearly to
John and his heirs for the same, and that they are not worth more than
that sum, so that if John died before Clement, leaving an heir in the king's
wardship, there would be no decrease thereof to the king or his heirs.

March 3. To the same. Like order to deliver to Peter Caperoun and Agatha his

de Orleton, whom the pope has created bishop of Hereford, on which day
the king took his fealty for the temporalities of the bishopric, and ordered
Robert Broun, then keeper of the bishopric, to restore the temporalitiesy
and also ordered Master John Walewayn, escheator this side Trent, to
restore what was in his hands belonging to the bishopric, as the king was
afterwards given to understand, on the bishop's behalf and from the
escheator, that the aforesaid towns, which belonged to the bishopriCi were
taken into the king's hands after the death of Richard, the late bishop,
amongst other temporalities of the bishopric, as pertaining to the bishop's
manor of Bishops Castle, and that thereupon the aforesaid Hugh occupied
the said towns, and that he still occupies them, and does not permit the
escheator or his sub-escheator in those parts to intermeddle with the said
towns ; whereupon the king caused an inquisition to be made concerning
the late bishop's estate therein ; whereby it was found that the late bishop
died seised of the said three towns as of the right of his church of
St. Ethelbert, Hereford, and in no other wise, and that he and all his
predecessors were seised thereof from time out of mind as of the right of
their church aforesaid. The king has ordered the escheator to resume the
said towns into his hands, and to deliver them without delay to the bishop.

Causton, which manors the earl held of the kiug's co:nmission to him aud
the heirs of his body, the king having now assigned the above to Matilda
as her dower at her petition, the king having previously assigned to her
the manor of Fakenhaiudam, of the yearly value of 57/. 16«. \\d. and
65«. 1 d, of yeai'ly rent from the tenants of the manor of Causton, and the
advowson of the church of Causton, as her dower of the aforesaid manors
and of the advowsons of Causton, Fakenhamdam, and Podyngnorton, which
the earl held as above, but which rhe king afterwards ordered to be restored
to David de Strabolgy, earl of A thole, because he had granted them to him
under a certain form, and because Matilda was then pregnant, believing
that she would bear a child, and that the custody of the earl's lands would
long remain in his hands ; whereupon he assign*^ to her in reoompenoe
the manor of Honeden, co. Suffolk, and th^ f^vowson of the chnitsh of
Doneniowe, co. Essex, of the earl's inheritance and then in his hands ; and
the king afterwards took the homage of Hugh le Despenser the younger,
who married Eleanor, the eldest sister and co -heiress of the earl, and the fealties
of Hugh Daudele the younger, who married Margaret, the second sister and
co-heiress, and of Roger Damory, who married Elizabeth, the third sister
and co.heiress, for all the earFs lands, when he restored to them the afore-
said manor of Honeden and the advowson of the church of Donemowe
with the other lands of the earl ; whereupon the said Matilda prayed the
king to do her justice for her former dower ; whereupon the king ordered
the aforesaid escheator to summon the said David to appear in chancery on
Friday after St. Nicholas last past, to shew cause why the aforesaid manor
of Fakenhamdom {sic) and the rent of Qos. 1</., and the advowcon of Causton

la StTodei whereof John Hprynger was master, together with the cheats^
beds, and other small things of the said John, which were yaloed by the
jurors of the iiiauisition at 210 marks sterling, at Les Dunes on the sea
coast near the Isle of Thanet, whilst on her voyage to London, and carried
the same away to Flanders, the king requested the count to cause resti-
tution or satisfaction for the above to be made to the said John Sprynger ;
and the count replied that he was ijniorant of the premises, ss he was not
informed of the aeed aforesaid or of the names of those who committed it,
adding that he would punish the culprits [if] found within places subject
to his jurisdiction ; at which reply tne king is astonished, because John
Orabbe, the principal culprit, is well-known to be of the count's knd of
Flanders, and dwells therein when he wills, and it is moreover testified

To the same. Whereas lately, at the complaint of Gilbert de Mordon,
Henry Gubbe, and Stephen de Grey, citizens and merchants of London,
that they caused a ship of theirs to be laden with fish, lead, oil, and other
goods and wares bought at Lenne to the Talue of 300/., in order to bring
the same to London, and that certain malefactors of Flanders assaulted
with force and arms the men in the said ship on the sea-coast near
Crowemere, co. Norfolk, and took the goods aforesaid, and divided the
same amongst them, and carried them to Flanders, as appears by the letters
testimonial of the mayor and community of the city of London under their
common seal, the king requested the count to cause satisfaction or
restitution therefor to be made to the aforesaid merchants ; to which
the count replied that he was i$[:norant of the premises as he was not
informed of the deed aforesaid nor of the names of those who committed it,
adding that he would punish the culprits if found within places subject to
his jurisdiction ; and now, in addition to the testimony of the mayor and
community aforesaid, it is testified before the king that the trespass was
committed at the aforesaid place by malefactors of the count's land, and
that the malefactors, shortly before the perpetration of this trespass, lay
near the king's land {ad terram nostram se ponenteM)^ and committed
homicides there, and afterwards perpetrated the above trespass, the men of
those parts standing and seeing them, and having full knowledge that they
were from the count's power, and the goods aforesaid were seen and
recognised by merchants of this realm in the hands of the said malefactors
at Le Since within the count's power ; wherefore the king requests the
count to cause restitution or satisfaction to be made without delay to the
said merchants, together with compensation for their damages, lest it
behove the king to provide them with another remedy. He is requested to
write back, etc., as above.

To J. duke of Brabant, the king's nephew. The king has received
complaint from Henry de la Porte, merchant of Norhampton, that,
although John Wylet, merchsnt of Malyns, is boimd to him in 74/. S$. 7d.
for merchandise bought from him, and John was arrested at his suit for
the debt in the town of Andwertz, within the duke's power, according to
the liberties and customs granted and used in that town for the merchants of
England, and was delivered to Gerard Ekene, schulfheisi ($eau(etf) and
bailiff of that town, to be kept until he had satisfied Henry for the said
debt, the said Glerard nevertheless allowed John to go from his custody
before he had satisfied Henry ; wherefore the king requests the duke to
call before him the said Gtoard and others who should be called before him,
and to cause speedy justice to be done to Henry in the recovery of his debt,
so that it may not behove the king to provide him with another remedy.
He is requested to write back by the bearer an account of his proceedings

Richard son of William Cadegan, who was hanged for felony, held the

keeper of the wardrobe, for the other sums, the king having previously

and carried away the ship and cargo to Aberden in Scotland, and there
sold the goods and the robes and cloth of the slain men, and afterwards

upon the king wrote to the schdffen and men of the said towns of Grippes
wold, Stralsund (Strillesound)^ and Lubyk requesting them to cause
restitution or satisfaction to be made to the said merchant; which they
have not done, although Adam delivered the king's letters to them by
Geoffrey atte Feld, his attorney, and sought diligently for justice, as appears
by letters patent under the seal of the community of the city of London :
wherefore the king orders the sheriffs to arrest goods of the men and mer-
chants of the aforesaid towns to the value of 100/., and to keep the same
safely until the said Adam have been satisfied for that sum or until other-
wise ordered, certifying the king of their proceedings herein. The king

the admiral of Caleys and certain armed men of his company in ships
attacked the ship on her voyage to Brabant on the sea coast in the Isle of
Thanet, within this realm, and upon the men in the ship flying for fear
with her to land and carrying uway with them the sail and rudder
(gubernaculum) of the ship to the town of Mergate, in the said Isle, in
order to save the ship and cargo, the admiral and his men ^rent to that
town and caused the sail and rudder to be carried back to the ship, and
afterwards took the ship and cargo whither they liked, detaining the same
from the merchants and mariner aforesaid to their damage of 2,000 marks ;
which proceedings were so well known in those parts that they could not
be concealed by any tergiversation, and the king has in addition been
assured concerning the same by the mayor, aldermen, and community of
the city of Loudon, who are fully informed concerning the same ; where-
upon the king frequently requested W. de Castellion, then constable of
France, to cause restitution or compensation to be made to the merchants
and mariner aforesaid, together with amends for their damages, as pertained
to him in this behalf by reason of the superior custody over the admiral
and his fellows committed to him by L[ouis], king of France and Navarre;
and at length the constable, having called the parties before him, decreed
that tlie ship and her cargo should be restored, which sentence he did not
put into execution ; wherefore the king again requested him to cause
satisfaction to be made for the same, and the constable thereupon ceitified
Philip, the present king of France and Navarre, then regent of France, of
the manner and form of his decree, requesting him to excuse him to the
king of England concerning the premises ; whereupon the regent wrote the
king of England that he had caused answer to be made to the merchants
aforesaid that they should come or send to him in the octaves of Christmas
then ensuing, when he would cause them to be satisfied ; to which letters
the king replied, Philip having meanwhile been crowned king of France,
praying him to fulfil what be had promised in the aforesaid octaves ; and
Philip, assigning many days to the merchants' attorney in this behalf,
finally did nothing in the matter, but failed altogether to do them justice,
as the mayor, aldermen, and community of the said city have certified the
king by their letters patent ; whereupon the king, although he might have
provided the merchants with a remedy in this realm in consequence of these
proceedings, again wrote to the king of France to cause satisfaction to be
made to the merchants; which letters the king of Franco received, and he
promised, in the presence of John Abel, knight, and Richard de Burton,
clerk, the king*8 envoys sent to him for other affairs, to cause satisfaction
to be made to the merchants, but finally did nothing in the matter, as the
envoys explained to the king by word of mouth upon their return : where-
fore the king orders the sheriffs to arrest goods of the men and merchants of
the king of France within the city to the value of 600/., and to cause them
to be kept safely until the said merchants have been satisfied for that sum

to be taken from him by certiun of his ministers near the town of Gines ;
wherefore the king frequently requested the said John to cause restitution
or satisfaction to be made to Adam and to satisfy him for his damages, lest
it should behove the king to provide Adam with another remedy ; the said
John, although Adam delivered the king's letters to him and diligently
sought for justice, did nothing in the matter, as appears bj letters patent
under the seal of the community of the city of London : wherefore the king
orders the sheriffs to arrest goods of men and merchants of the dominion

the ship, the late king wrote to John, then duke of Britannj, grandfather
of the present duke, requesting him to cause justice to be done to Henry,
and to release the master and mariners ; whereupon the duke released the
sailors, but failed to do justice to Henry ; wherefore the king gave orders at
different times to Guy Ferre and Jolm de Hastinges, his late seneschals of
Gascony, that, if they found the aforesaid malefactors or their goods within
the duchy of Acquitaine, they should call before them those who ought to
be called and should do justice to Henry according to the custom of those
parts; and John de Hastinges afterwards, upon the failure of Arthur, late
duke of Britanny, father of the present duke, to do justice to Henry, which
he was frequently requested to do by the aforesaid seneschals, caused
certain goods of men and merchants of the power of duke Arthur to be
arrested within the aforesaid duchy, the usual process in such cases having
been observed; and the said goods were afterwards released by John,
bishop of Norwich, and John do Britannia, earl of Richmond, and certain
others sent to the duchy by the king, whereby the execution of the aforesaid
arrest and Henry's suit for damages have been much delayed without
reasonable cause ; the king at length, at the petition of Henry exhibited
before him and his council, ordered Gilbert Pecche, now seneschal of
Gascony, to cause justice to be done to Henry without further delay ; and
the seneschal has signified to the king by his letters that he has carefully
examined the letters and processes and proofs touching this matter, and that
it appeared clearly to him that the damages were indicted upon Henry by
men of Britanny, and that the present duke of Britanny had been frequently
requested by his predecessors to cause the damages to be made good to Henry,
and that the duke had not done so, and that his men had beaten and griev-
ously (letaliter) wounded Henry whilst prosecuting this matter in Britanny ;
on account whereof the seneschal, having called a council of skilful persons,
granted and decreed that a letter of marque (marcham) sought by Henry
should be made against the men of Britanny and their goods until Henry
should be satisfied for 1,860/. sterling, at which sum the principal damage of
Henry and the ensuing damages were taxed by the seneschal, according to
the proofs made concerning the same; and because the seneschal has
written to the king that he had suspended the execution of the letter of
marque for a time at the request of the duke's proctor, and that the duke and
his proctor endeavour to annul Henry's process and to hinder his recovering
his goods and damages by wilful and undue processes in the court of
France and elsewhere, the king, although he might continue the letter of
marque without further process, requests the duke to cause satisfaction to be
made to Henry without further delay. The king greatly desires that Henry
should be satisfied in a friendly manner rather than that his damages should
be levied from non-consenting parties (ah invitis)^ as is usual in such cases.
The duke is requested to certify the king of his proceedings herein before
St. Andrew's next by his letters and by the bearer T)f the presents.

Sept. 13. To R. count of Flanders. The king, whilst staying in the northern parts

W. archbishop of Canterbury and John, bishop of Ely, his treasurer, to the
barons and men of the Cinque Ports to prohibit their grieving or damaging
the count's subjects under pain of forfeiture; wherefore he requests the
count to issue a similar prohibition to his subjects ; and he further requests
him to send certain of his subjects to this realm with full poW6r to treat
concerning the damages suffered by both sides and to reform lasting peace, as
the king proposes shortly to appoint certain of his subjects to enquire con-
cerning the aforesaid damages, and to do full and speedy justice to the
sufferers. Concerning the cloth, wines, and other go(xis whereof the

count's men were despoiled by the king's men at Crasdun' and La Rye, as
contained in the count's letters exhibited to the king bj Master John
Boerlike, clerk of the town of Ypres, the king will cause restitution or
satisfaction to be made for the same, so far as the damages are clearly proved
by the process had in this matter or by a new process if necessary. As the
king learns that his enemies the Scots are endeavouring to make con-
federacies with the count's subjects, and to draw men, armour, and victuals
from the count's lands in order to strengthen themselves against the king
and his faithful subjects, he requests the count, as he did at another time, to
consider the love and concord that have existed between his and the king's
progenitors, which the king desires may be observed inviolably, and to enjoin
his subjects, under grievous forfeiture, not to aid or comfort the king's said

To Philip, king of France. The universitas of the king's town of
Florence, in the confines of his duchy of Aquitaine, have written to him that
whereas the universitas and the consules of the same have been wont, from
the time of the construction of that town, to have protection (messegctria)
for their goods and possessions that are under the jurisdiction of the
vicomte of Fezensaguet (Fezensaguellt)^ the saidvicomte, with the adhesion
in this behalf of the king of France's seneschal of Toulouse, hinders certain
men of the said universitas from enjoying such protection in their goods and
possessions in the jurisdiction of the vicomte, and the universitas have prayed
the king of England to assist them in this matter ; wherefore he requests the
king of France to order his aforesaid seneschal to desist from aggrieving the
universitas contrary to their liberties and rights, and to permit them to use
and enjoy the aforesaid protection peacefully as they have been wont to do.

Nov. 15. To R. count of Flanders. The king has received complaint from his

Westminster, merchants Raymond Soumas, Peter Massan, and Bertrand de Terra Meyra,
citizens of Bordeaux, that whereas lately Raymond loaded 25 tuns and a
pipe, Fetor loaded 21 tuns and a pipe, and Bertrand loaded 11 tuns and
a pipe of wine at Bordeaux in a ship called ' le Bon An* oi 6osford,for the
purpose of carrying the same to London, certain malefactors of the count's
power lying in wait upon the sea took the ship laden with the said wines bj
violence at Merkat near the Isle of Thanet whilst on her voyage to London,
and carried her and the wines away with them to Flanders, for which the
said merchants have prayed the king to provide them with a remedy:
wherefore the king requests the count to cause restitution or satisfaction to
be made to his said merchants for their wines and for their damages, and to
write back by the bearer an account of what he shall have ordered to be
done.

is said that he has been convicted thereof, and to elect in his place Baldwin
Fas if he be fit, or some other fit person, the king having specially re*
quested them to permit Baldwin, who was one of the bailiffs of the city last
year, to retain office for this year, as he conducted himself well in that
bailiwick; notwithstanding this request, they have elected the aforesaid
John, which the king regards as being to his contempt and prejudicei
wherefore he will act against them and their liberty when the opportunity
arises, as it is not consonant with right that any person convicted of such
offences should intermeddle with an office touching the king. More-
over, after Baldwin was amoved from office, certain msJefactors of that citj
threatened him with loss of life and limb, and do daily threaten him ; where-
fore the king enjoins them to cause Baldwin to have such firm peace of the
aforesaid malefactors that he may be secure of his body. [ParL WriU.'\

' Bona Navis ' of La Strode with 86 tuns and 25 pipes of wine, for the pur-
pose of bringing the same to this realm to trade there with the same, certain
malefactors of the count's power lay in wait for the ship on the sea, and
entered her by armed force on the sea coast near the Isle of Thanet, and
took and curried away her and her cargo, the king ordered the sheriff of
Kent to cause inquiry to be made concerning this robbery ; by which
inquisition it was found that John Crabbe and other malefactors of the
count's lands captured by force and arms the aforesaid ship, laden with
H6 tuns and 25 pipes of wine, price 7H8/. sterling, price of a tun 8/. and of
a pipe 4/., at Les Dunes near the Isle of Thanet, and took the ship and cargo

43 tuns and 13 pipes belonged to Aymer and 43 tuns and 12 pipes to
Arnald, as has been acknowledged before the king by John Dosyoun,
brother of Arnald: wherefore the king, connidering that such rapine
committed upon his merchants and within his power is not only to the
detriment of the merchants, but would also redound to his shame and
contempt unless an opportune remedy be provided, and wishing to protect
his subjects in his peace and protection from wrong and violence, requests
the count to cause restitution or satisfaction to be made to Aymer and

not behove the king to provide them with another remedy.

town of Bermeio {Btrmey)^ prepared an ambush for the said ship, and took
her by armed force with the corn and victuals in her to the value of 100/.
sterling, and carried tier away to Bermeio, the late and the present kings
wrote to the provosts, alcaides {alealdis)y and inhabitants of Bermeio
requesting them to cause restitution or satisfaction to be made for the
above ; and as the said letters were presented and read in the presence of
the aforesaid Nicholas, and the provosts, alcaldes, and inhabitants and he
have been duly required to cause justice to be done in this matter, the
said Nicholas, wholly rejecting the said requests, answered that although
he had had and received the ship and wheat, he would make no restitu-
tion nor amends, which answer the provost[s], alcaldes, and inhabitants also
made more expressly to the said William, adding that they would do him no
other right in the premises, thus failing to do justice to him, as appear? by
the letters testimonial of the inhabitants of Bearritz near Bayonne sent to
the king, and by certain muniments exhibited before the king ; wherefore

Feb. 12. To Robert, connt of Flanders. Whereas the king lately requested him
Windsor, to do justice to William [de] Cumbmartyn, citizen and merchant of London,
and John Gregory, Adam Fode, and Edward Reygnald, merchants of Lym,
concerning 29 serplers of wool taken and carried away from them in a
river between Gravelinges and Bystath by John de Fienles and his men,4ind
he wrote back that he had addressed the said John concerning this matter,
and John replied that he would, out of reverence for the king and love of the
count, satisfy the said merchants for tlie wool if the king would cause the value
thereof to be levied of the said John's goods and chattels within this realm
at fitting terms, and would cause the same to be paid to the merchants. The
king is gratified with this answer, but as he cannot well fulfil what is
contained in this answer by the count's answer without the aforesaid John,
he requests the count to induce John to satisfy the merchants or their
attorneys for the value of the wool aforesaid, or to cause his letters patent
to be made in due form to them containing the value of the wool and the
terms of payment, whereby the king may cause the value to be levied of
John's lands and goods in England and may pay the same to the merchants.
If John refuse to do so, the count is requested to cause justice to be done
to the merchants, as it pertains to him to do justice to those complaining of
such trespasses within his power, so that it may not behove the king to
provide them with another remedy. He is desired to write back by the
bearer an account of his proceedings in this matter, and of what the said
John shall cause to be done.

Jan. 28. To John, loi*d of Fyenles. On the complaint of Adam Hunteman,
Westminfter. merchant and citizen of London, that whereas he caused 13 serplers of wool
to be laden in a ship in the port of London in order to take the same to
St. Omer to make his profit thereof, the said John and his bailiffs of Gy nes,
believing the wool to be the property of someone of the town of St. Omer
and not of the king's land or power, caused it to be arrested in Gynes, the
king has frequently written to him requesting him to cause satisfaction or
restitution thereof to be made to Adam ; and l£e said John has signified to
the king, amongst other things, that, although he understood from burgesses
of Ypres and elsewhere that the wool belonged to certain men of St. Omer,
he had assigned a day to the said merchant within the quinzaine of the
Purification to return to him, promising him that he would, out of love for
the king, do in this behalf what of right ought to suffice ; for which the
king thanks him. The king, confiding in his promise, has caused the said
merchant to be sent to him, and he requests him to cause restitution to be
made of the wool aforesaid, together with the damages sustained by the said
merchant, without delay, so that it may not behove the king to provide the
merchant with another remedy.
