as of fee, that the said Michael is her son and next heir and of full
age, that she held in dower the said third part and a third part of the

that for speedy execution of justice the records and processes begun
before the admiral should come before the king and council, shewing
that the ship and the goods therein ought as wreck to pertain to the

and defendants to be there at that day, and the admiral did so ; and
at that day appeared in chancery the prior by James de Byllyngford
and Henry Maupas his attorneys, and the master in person, and the
said processes being viewed and arguments heard on either side, it
seems good to the justices, the king's Serjeants and others of the council
learned in the law that the ship etc. ought not to be called wreck,
wherefore it is determined that the same be given up to the master
with damages and costs in his suit, so that he content the prior etc.

to any who need and will buy it for prompt payment at a reasonable
price, having regard to the former purchase thereof and the costs
incurred by the former buyers, so that the money thereof arising
be paid to the owner, and order to command proclamation to be made
of the premises ; as by unusually frequent complaint it has come to
the king's ears that certain men of Lancashire, especially of the

weal have by covin and confederacy forestalled the greater part of
the wheat, barley and oats of those parts, privily putting it in ships,
houses, granaries etc., purposing to take it, if they might, to Wales
and other foreign places, and though they may not draw it out of
the country according to their wicked intent, are of malice withholding
it, selling to no man but for excessive gain, whereby the people of
those parts are like to be ruined, especially as the bulk of such corn
is in their hands insomuch that corn may hardly be found in any
markets there.

as by complaint of the people it has come to the king's ears that, though
poor fishermen used heretofore to lay their nets and fish in the sea,
and may lawfully so do to gain their living and for sustenance of the
country and the ])arts adjacent, men of the duchy who have lands
upon the shore, purposing to extort their own profit and striving to
hinder the public weal, upon the pretence aforesaid are now newly
hindering tliem from laying nets and fishing, though lawful it was,
save for payment of fines and ransoms, to the prejudice of the king
and impoverishment of the people ; and the king observes that no man

heir's ancestors, that although from the foundation thereof, which
the prior is bound by oath to preserve, it has been ruled by priors
elected by the earl's licence in accordance with the statutes, and not
otherwise or by others, scheming to overset the rule approved by the
founders the prior, fearing not the pain of perjury, has without craving
or obtaining licence of the king or earl procured letters of the pope to
be made abbot, and to rule the same under pastoral governance in
name of abbot, purposing to hold the priory as abbot contrary
to the founders' will, which would tend not only to contempt of the
king and to the prejudice of the said heir but to overset the rules and
constitution of the priory, and to impoverish the same.

in 42 Edward III that all lords in England who had lands or lordships
in Ireland should within a set time under pain of forfeiture of the same
dwell there in person or send others there to abide in defence thereof,
and for no other cause ; as on the aforesaid day the said Robert's
age was proved, and the late king took his homage and fealty, and
commanded livery to be given him of his father's lands ; and now
the king has learned by his complaint that by colour of the said
ordinance certain lands of his father in Ireland were taken as forfeit into
the late king's hand for that the said Robert dwelt not there nor sent
any as aforesaid, as by reason of his nonage he was not bound to do,
and were by William de Wyndesore knight, then the late king's
lieutenant in Ireland, granted to certain persons to hold so long as
they should remain in the king's hand, wherefore the said Robert
may not yet obtain livery of the same, though many times he has
sued instantly with the king's ministers there ; and by view of divers
inquisitions taken after his death the king is assured that the said
John died long before the publishing of that ordinance, namely on the
feast of Trinity 37 Edward III, and it is not reasonable, nor was it
the intent of the late king or his council, that the same should apply
to lands of heirs within age and in the king's wardship during their
nonage. Proviso that, if not yet made, answer be made at the
exchequer of Ireland by those lawfully chargeable for the issues of
the said lands during the said Robert's nonage.

bargained (convencionavit) the said wool of the said Bartholomew
in Calais, that it was there weighed, and was put in keeping of the

to certain merchants of Florence to whose use in the first instance
the wool was procured, that meanwhile the count entered the town,

certain Flemings, the king's enemies, have arrested and are unlaw-
fully withholding the same, although for lack of security the said
Bartholomew ought to have it again, and is claiming it ; and Nerius

service of 95. 6rf. a year, and that Jolm Aillesbury then rector was the
first rector, and died on the eve of the Annunciation 5 Richard II ; and
although in that inquisition it is contained that the jurors know not
whether by reason of the vacancy upon his death the keeping of those
manors ^\ith the exception aforesaid pertains to the king or no, by
colour thereof the escheator has taken all their possessions into the
king's hand, as is shewn to the king by complaint of Thomas Odiham
now rector ; and after view and reading in chancery of the inquisition
and of the late king's letters patent, and after mature deliberation with
the justices, Serjeants and others of the council learned in the law,

be in chancery in the octaves of St. Hilary last to shew cause wherefore
all the knights' fees and advowsons of the deceased should not be
again taken into the king's hand, and a new partition made, the sheriff
returning that the said Walter and Isabel had no lands in the county
where notice might be given them, nor were they there found after
receipt of that writ, and a day was given to the said John, William
and Elizabeth until Friday in the third week of Lent in order that Walter

of Westmorland to give them notice ; and at that day the said heirs
appeared, and proceedings were continued until the quinzame of

in chancery, that all knights' fees and advowsons assigned to them
should be seized again into the king's hand, the partition amiulled, and

Wodehulle citizen of New Sarum and Philip Soydoun of Wevmothe,

and three houses thereupon built in the parish of St. Martin in the
Vintry in the cit^' of London ^\ hich were of Thomas Swanlond deceased,
putting Philippa wife of John Desterny in full possession thereof ;
as the late king by letters patent granted the premises (among other
lands etc.) to the said John and Philippa and to their heirs male so
long as the same should remain in that king's hand, being in his
hand by reason of moneys wherein at his death the said Thomas was
bound to him, with reversion to that king and his heirs for lack of issue
male of their bodies ; and by her complaint the said Philippa has shewn
that by the said judgment William son of Walter de Chiriton recov'ered
the same against her by default, as occupier of lands of his father,
which she was not, taken into the late king's hand by reason of debts
wherein the said Walter and his fellows farmers of the customs and

Nov. 16. To the mayor and bailiffs of Sandewich. Order to deliver to Juliana
Westminster, who was wife of William de Foxston, being his executrix, or to her

of arms entered a ship of certain merchants of Portugal of the
king's friendship sailing off the coast of England, assaulted, beat
and wounded the merchants, their men and servants, and took
and brought away the ship and divers merchandise wherewith it
was laded ; and at the prayer of the said William, who main-
perned in chancery to answer for his ship or the value thereof if
it should be adjudged to the king, the king ordered the mayor and
bailiffs to cause the same to be delivered to him, and after ordered
Robert de Assheton constable of Dovorre castle or his lieutenant to

of Sandewich at the point of perishing if speedy remedy be not applied ;

Sore was of the lay patronage of John VVynewyk, although in his life
time the same was void, and Henry de Blacbourne was at his
presentation admitted, instituted and inducted and held the same
no small time, although the church was after void by resignation of
the said Henry, and by the said John's death was at the gift of Richard
de Wynewyk his brother and heir, and although he presented William
Julyan, who was admitted etc. and peaceably held the same, the said
Walter being not without knowledge of the patrons' right, averring in
the court of Rome that the said church was void and pertained to the
pope's provision, which it did not being of lay patronage, has procured a
provision thereof in his own favour, and by colour thereof processes
in the court christian and i)ersonal citations against the said William
to appear without the realm in contempt of the king, although the
right of lay patronage ought to be determined A\ithin the realm by
the king's court and nowhere else ; and the king by writ ordered the
sheriff of Notyngham at Radecl3'f upon Sore to warn the said Walter
to be before the justices at Westminster in the octaves of St.
Hilary 5 Richard II to answer to the king for his contempt and to the
said Richard for damages, and he was after convicted before them,

gave the premises to the said Walter, that they are held of others than

after until the death of Edmund the earl's son and heir, and that

Neumarket of the value of 14s. a year, and the issues thereof taken
since 4 June last ; as on that date, for good service to E. prince of
Aquitaine and Wales and to himself, the king gave to William Power
for life the said messuage, which was of the said John, and was in the
king's hand as an escheat, it was said, for that he was outlawed for
treason ; and after upon the said John's complaint shewing that,
although he was indicted and put in exigents before Hugh la Zouche
and his fellows, justices appointed to chastise certain rebels and
insurgents in that county, he was not outlawed for that he appeared
at the fifth county court, as appears by the record and process which
the king has caused to come before him in chancery, but that by
colour of the king's grant he is unlawfully thrust out of the said
messuage, and praying restitution, the king ordered the sheriff to give
the said William notice to be in chancery at a set day past, to shew
cause wherefore the king ought not to revoke his grant and make
restitution ; at which day he appeared, and said that he knew of no
right of the king or himself in the premises, wherefore he brought the
said grant to be cancelled ; and after full deliberation with the justices,
the king's Serjeants and others of the council learned in the law, for
that the said John appeared before the said Hugh and his fellows
bringing the king's charter of pardon and writ for allowing the same,
and the same was allowed him, it is determined that the said grant
be revoked, and that the premises be taken again into the king's hand,
and restored to the said John with the issues as aforesaid.

Order, if his averment be true, to discharge John abbot of St. Mary
Lanternan within the lordship of Usk in Wales of 121. 15s. lid. for
the farm of a fishery in the river Usk called the Ceyne, otherwise the
fishery of Tredenauk ; as he has shewn the king that long ago he took
that fishery of the earl to farm for a term of years not yet past for
201. 13s. 4,d. a year, and that although the earl had no estate therein
but by the courtesy of England, and the fishery came to the king's
hands straightway after the earl's death by reason of the nonage of
his heir, wherefore the abbot meddled not therewith, taking no profit,
as without licence of the king he dared not, the said auditor is
demanding of him 121. 15s. lid. as the proportion of the farm from
the earl's death until St. Lawrence following, when the steward of
the lordship demised the same to farm for a set term to Howel ap
Lloarth and others, and is minded unlawfully to charge him therewith ;
and it was not lawful for the abbot without the king's licence to
meddle therewith after the earl's death or take any profit by colour
of the said demise, wherefore it seems reasonable to the justices and
others of the council that he be discharged.

in the parish of St. Swithun London, namely 5 marks of rent there,
notwithstanding the allegation of the said Thomas that he was sole
tenant of a garden which is parcel of the tenements put in view, whereof
the plaintiff avers that that rent arises, that by process in chancery
the late king recovered a tenter ground in the said parish, sometime
of Robert Aguyloun knight and now the said garden, against the said
Thomas and Idonea late his wife (now deceased) for that it was put to
mortmain without his licence, that the said king granted that ground or
garden to the said Thomas and Idonea for life, rendering 10s. a year at
the exchequer, and that without the king he might not answer, craving
the king's aid, and notwithstanding the king's writ ordering the
sheriffs and coroners to proceed in that plea, so that they should
not proceed to rendering of judgment without ad\ising the king ;
as by complaint made on behalf of the plaintiff it is shewn that they
have deferred to proceed, although an inquisition is taken concerning

July 1. To Thomas earl of BukjTigham the constable, Thomas de Holand
Westminster, earl of Kent marshal of England and their representatives. Order

missions to Richard Lescrope knight, Guy de Bryan, Master Thomas
de Stowe and Master John Blaunchard deceased to take knowledge
and proceed in that appeal and to hear and determine the same, and
to John de Cobeham of Kent, William Walleworth, Master Thomas
de Baketon and John Philipot knight deceased joining them with
those commissioners ; as the appeal was from a sentence of John
Harleston, pretended commissary and representative of the constable,
in a plea that John Wawe was security and debtor of John Waldshef
for 1,000 molouns du roy or 200/. for acquittance out of prison of Thomas
Hussell esquire for Charles de Chastelon then alleged prisoner of
John Waldshef ; and at suit of John Waldshef, averring that John
Wawe took no heed to prosecute his appeal, but by colour thereof
hindered the execution of the said sentence and commissions, the
king commanded the said John de Cobeham. William. Thomas and
Thomas to certify in chancery with what diligence the parties prose-
cuted their cause, and which of them was remiss therein, and by

pronounced in favour of the appeal and of their jurisdiction, decreeing
for producing the process at 22 February, that since that decree John
Wawe has talcen no heed to proceed so far as they know, but John
Waldshef has of their particular knowledge given all diligence, many
times instantly requiring them to make an end of the cause ; and it
seems therefore to the king that the appeal was not made in good
faith, and the king reckons the same frivolous and abandoned on the

the coronation the king granted him those offices, fees etc. for life

arrest all those who shall be found guilty of taking and carrying away
his goods, and to keep them in prison in safe custody until they shall
make restitution or content him of the value theieof and his damages ;
as he has shewn the king that a ship called ' la Cristofre ' of Stralissounde
by him laded with victuals, arms, armour and other merchandise
touched at the port of Eland by Berewic upon Tweed, that John More
of Sandewich, John Sket of Hastynges master of the balinger of

John More master of the balynger of the Rye, John Yonge master of
the passage of Hethe, Simon Martyn of Dovorre, Roger Yonge of Hethe

the said ship, and took and carried away gold in coined money, victuals,
arms, armour etc. therein, and are withholding them, taking no heed
to make restitution or content him for the same, though he has long
sued for it, wherefore he prayed for remedy against the said John

Norhampton and John Baukewelle parson of Little Bill^Tige for render

to i^roceed to rendering of judgment, notwithstanding the defendant's
allegation that he holds the said church by presentation of the king
by reason of that priorj' being in the king's hand because of the war
\dth France, that he found it discharged of the said rent, and that
he maj^ not charge or discharge the church without the king and the
said prior, being the patron, and the bishop of Lincoln, being the

sheriff is of counsel and a mover in the business, was an umpire at a

there shall be understood of workmen travailing therein without covin,
and not of others or of them travailing elsewhere ; and as to the
article that the warden or his representative shall hold all pleas
arising between the tinners, that jurisdiction extends over places
where workmen work and not elsewhere or otherwise ; and the king

stannaries, and of the harm to him daily arising by malice of certain
men going about to infringe the liberties and privileges of the tinners.

his first estate if within ten j'ears from the date thereof he should
pay 100 marks by them lent, and that he paid that sum as he is
ready to prove, without that that the abbot appropriated the same
as by the inquisition supposed, the king ordered the sheriff to give
notice to the said Robert, Thomas and Richard Smyth to be in chancery

times given them, which the king has learned that they have yet taken
no heed to do, or else order to be in person before the king in the octaves

said commands ; as the king has learned that divers escheats, forfeited
goods and chattels and other profits ought to pertain to him for that
divers persons put in exigents, outlawed and waived in Somerset

taken by the king's enemies of Scotland ; as the king has learned that
divers vessels came there on the eve aforesaid or earlier, and that to de-
fraud the king of the said subsidy the merchants and seamen thereof
would not enter port until Michaelmas day or the day after, wherefore
Henry earl of Northumberland, then admiral to the northward, caused

the parish of Allhallows the Great by the ' Heywharf ' in Douuegate
ward, and the arrears since the premises were taken into the king's

due and used to be paid to him and his house of lands in the said city
which were of John de Norhampton citizen and draper of London,
now taken into the king's hand as forfeit because of treason of
which the said John is convicted, and are now withheld ; but it

6s. is due as aforesaid of the premises in Bredstrete ward which at the
date of his conviction, namely on 12 September last, the said John held
with Parnell his wife in her right, that time out of mind Thomas
Haverhille gave that rent in almoin to the church of St. Saviour
Bermondeseye and the monks there and to their successors to find

burning every day and night there, and is found by the now prior,

of liis office, that William de Staynford, tenant in fee of the premises,
died on 12 November 2 Richard II, that after liis death John de Stayn-
ford entered as his next heir and is yet holding the same, that he is an
idiot from birth, and that John de Gysburne of York ' marchant ' and
John de Copley of Femehille took the issues and profits from the date of
his entry to that of the inquisition, that straightway after the said
William's death John de Gysburne cut down a hundred oaks within
the wood, price 100s., and that for that cause the escheator took the
premises into the king's hand ; and although John de Staynford
be out of his mind and insufficient to rule himself and his lands, it is
adjudged by due examination before the king in chancery that he is
no idiot, wherefore the keeping of his lands ought not to pertain to
the king by reason of his royalty, and the said John Copley and John
Woderoue of Yorkshire have mainperned in chancery under a pain

king's letters patent granting to W^illiam Joce the wardship of his

the realm to prosecute aught in the court of Rome that may redound
to the impairment or destruction of the pri%ileges and statutes of the

pose ; as complaint has come to the king's ears, not without his grievous
displeasure, that by some of the university confederate together and
making unlaA\^ul assemblies the chancellor is often hindered by fear
and malice of the confederates from judging and coercing transgressors
according to the said statutes and privileges, so that they waxing
bolder because they find no pain ensuing take no heed to obey the chan-
cellor and proctors, as they ought, and fear not further to offend,
to the disturbance of the scholars, the hindrance of study, and for an
evil example to others, and that such confederates of malice afore-
thought, to quash so far as in them lies certain statutes, Hberties and
customs therein used time out of mind, are scheming to sue in the
court of Rome and, contrary to their oaths, have collected money
among themselves and of other persons of their faculty to be there
spent in giving speedier effect to their intent, and if this be not speedily
repressed by the king's power, the university will be like to suffer
discord and desolation.

true value of the premises by him taken into the king's hand it was
said, and he certified that he seized no such lands, but that James
Pikeryng liis predecessor delivered to him by indenture lands in
Hovyngham given with the king's licence by lord de Moubray of
Haxiholme, founder in the time of King Edward I of a chantry

from John Harleston pretending to be commissary and representative
of the constable of England, and from a sentence by him given in a
plea which was in the king's court before the said constable and the
marshal against John Wawe, alleged surety and debtor of John
Waldeshef for 1 ,000 ' motouns du Eoi ' or 200Z. for delivery of Thomas
Huselle esquire and to quit him out of prison for Charles de Chastelton

cause, and to hear and determine the same and all things arising
thereupon, and in respect of a second commission joining with them
the said John [Cobeham], Wilham and Thomas de Baketon and
John Philipot knight deceased ; as at suit of John Waldeshef, averring
that John Wawe took no heed to prosecute his appeal, but of malice
was thereby hindering John Waldeshef from having execution of
the said sentence, the king commanded the said John de Cobeham,
William, Thomas and Thomas to certify in chancery what diligence
either party shewed before them, and which was remiss in his suit,
and by certificate of Thomas and Thomas the king has learned that
the said Guy and Thomas Stowe proceeded at the instance of the
parties, that they pronounced in favour of the appeal and of their
jurisdiction, decreeing that the process should be shown before them
on 22 February last, that since that decree John Wawe has taken
no heed to shew the same before them or other the commissioners,
nor has any in his name, nor given diligence to proceed so far as they
know, but that John Waldeshef has she^Ti all possible diligence, often
and instantly requiring them to make an end of the appeal ; and it
seems to the king's court that the appeal was made to defraud John
Waldeshef of execution as aforesaid, and not in good faith, and the
king reckons it frivolous and abandoned, and has decreed that the
cause be sent again to the constable and marshal for final debate. The
king has commanded the constable and marshal and their representa-
tives to do speedy justice to the parties, the appeal and the said com-
missions notwithstanding.

Aug. 5. To the sheriff of Nortlmniberland. Writ of supersedeas omnino
Westminster, in respect of the execution of tlie king's writ ordering tlie sheriff to give
John bishop of Durham notice to be in chancery one month after
Michaehnas next in order to shew cause wherefore the king's charter
to him ought not to be revoked, and wherefore the mayor and bailiffs
and the commonalty of Newcastle upon Tyne ought not to have and
hold the whole river Tyne from the sea to a place called ' Hidewyne-
stremes ' as of the port of Newcastle and parcel of their farm ; and
order to tell the said mayor, bailiffs and commonalty to sue another
writ against the bishop returnable at the quinzaine of Easter or a
later day, if they shall thhik fit ; as by that charter the king granted
to the bishop and his successors, for the peace of the church and the
bishopric, that merchants and others who would, being friends
of England, might bring their ships and vessels to land in whatsoever
place and water of Tyne they pleased on the side of the country called
the bishopric and royal liberty of Durham, lade or unlade coal, mer-
chandise etc. whatsoever on that side and take those so laded whither
they pleased without let of the men of Newcastle or others whatso-
ever, that the bishop and his successors might have their own vessels
in all the river on whichever side they pleased, to serve them for
delivery of their coal and for causing it to be carried and sent whither
they pleased, or for selling it to merchants or other buyers, and that
such buyers might ship coal and take it whither they would without
let or levy of any impost or charge upon such coal etc. by the
mayor and bailiffs and the commonalty of Newcastle or others on
either side of the river, any charter, liberty, use, custom or other cause
which might be alleged to the contrary notwithstanding ; and upon
petition of the mayor and bailiffs and the said commonalty, shewing that
they held [the town] at fee farm as well time out of mind as by
charters of former kings, confirmed by the king, and that they and their
ancestors, being burgesses, have held the whole river Tyne from the
sea to ' Hydewyiaestremes ' as the port of the town and parcel of their
farm, until by colour of the said charter they were hindered from
making their profit thereof, as they ought, delaying payment of their
farm, the king gave command to the sheriff as aforesaid ; but the
bishop is appointed one of the guardians of the truce with the king's
adversary of Scotland and one of the wardens of the marches towards
Scotland and in the king's lordship of Scotland, wherefore it is ex-
pedient for the defence and safe ruling thereof that he be continually
present with his household near the marches, and the king is aware
that in his absence the plea for saving the king's right in regard to
the said charter may not be sufficiently defended. By C.

Oct. 20. To W. archbishop of Canterbur3^ Request that he will make it
\\est minster, clearly kiiown to the clergy and people of his diocese that from his
tender years, when he took upon him the governance of the realm,
it has been the king's desire that his subjects should be at peace,
wherefore he continued the treaty made by the late king with his then
adversary of France, to the detriment of his right offering to the
present adversary divers ways of peace in order to justify his cause
before the king of kings, and that nothing might be wanting in him
sent John king of Castille and Leon duke of Lancastre, first by himself
and after with Thomas earl of Bukingham, and other prelates, nobles
and counsellors to treat for peace, but that seeing they were peaceably
inclined, the adversary's party by cavilling and subterfuge rejected
the treaty and many articles to which they had agreed and, like deaf
adders stopping their ears, so despised the things that make for peace
that the dukes of Berry and Burgundy, who alone received power
to treat, though many times requested to meet the king's tincles
in a place between Calais and Boulogne previously arranged, refused
so to do, boasting that they would invade not only the king's heritage
over sea but his realm of JEngland, do away his place and people, and
destroy all the English tongue without regard of estate, age, sex
or person, and imbue the realm with a new tongue, wherefore the
king may truly say : We have sought peace, and lo tumult ; and
request that the archbishop will move the clergy and people to take
upon them the s])irit of fortitude in tliis just cause, and to intercede
with prayer for the safety of the king and his lieges and of the whole
realm.
The like to A. archbishop of York, R. bishop of London and eighteen
other bishops.

to certify the names of the collectors whom he has appointed in
the deanery and archdeaconry of Hereford of the moiety of a tenth
last granted by the clergy of the province of Canterbury, and order
to release any such distress made ; as the abbey of Redynge is of the
foimdation of former kings and of the king's patronage, so that the
monks are bound to special celebrations and prayers for the souls
of such kings, who gave (among other lands) the manor of Leomynstre
to them and their successors for sustenance of the abbot and convent ;
and now the abbot and convent have shewn the king that, although
certain monks their fellows are from time to time deputed to dwell
in that manor for such celebrations and prayers there, and are day
by day removable at will of the abbot, as may appear by a composition
made between the then bishop and chapter of Hereford and the then
abbot and convent, confirmed by pope Honorius III, and are
accountable to the abbot and convent for the issues of the manor,
the bishop is newly striving to charge them, under name of the prior,
warden and subdean of Leomynstre, with the collection of the said
moiety, wherefore the king commanded the bishop to appoint
trustworthy men of the clergy of that diocese to collect the said
moiety, certifying the treasurer and the barons of their names before
Michaelmas last ; but hitherto he has taken no heed to certify such
names in the said deanery and archdeaconry. By C.

manded the then bishop to certify the treasurer and the barons
at the morrow of the Close of Easter then next what aliens,
secular and other, were advanced to benefices in his diocese, the value
thereof, what were the benefices, in what archdeaconries, the names
of those holding them, and by what colour ; and the bishop certified
(among others) that brother John abbot of T>^ltenl and the convent
of the Cistercian order had the said parish church to perpetual farm,
as he said, of the abbot and convent of the house of Gloria, that for
many years he sought in the court of Rome and in England to take
information concerning that house, and might fuid no sure information
concerning the same, that the abbot of Tyntern with the convent
sometimes averred that he carried 20 marks yearly over sea to the
abbot of Gloria, sometimes that he carried so much a year to the pope,
and that it was well known that the late kuig had the royalty in the
lordship of ]\Iagor, and wards and marriages therem, that the church
was worth 401. a year, that it seemed to the bishop that the same
might not be given to perpetual farm Avithout the king's licence,
and that if there were in France any house called the house of Gloria,
inasmuch as money carried over sea since the war with France was
confiscate, if it were so, 400/. was due to the late king ; whereupon
by another writ of 26 April 45 Edward III the kijig commanded
the bishop to sequestrate all fruits and proventions belonging to the
said church, so as to answer for them to the king, certifying the
treasurer and the barons thereof at the morrow of Michaelmas then
next, and he certified that day that it was done, and by reason of
those certificates Thomas now bishop is being distrained, as he says,
to answer and content the king for the said fniits etc. as to him
pertaining ; and the king and council have particular informa-
tion by those in whom they trust that the house of Gloria is
not of the power of any his enemies, but of Italy which he
reckons of his friendship, wherefore he has not reasonable cause to
take the fruits etc. of the said church by reason of the war with
France.

prebendary of Pottesdoun in the cathedral church of Hereford, averring
that he lately obtained that prebend by exchange, and has been
long in possession thereof, but that John Milton scheming craftily
to thrust him out, and averring that the prebend was void, when it
was not, and in the king's gift by reason of the late vacancy of tho
bishopric of Hereford, procured a collation thereto, and the said
writ of quare impedit in the king's name against the bishop and the
said John Bredwardyn as incumbent of the prebend, which he was
not, the king ordered the sheriff of Hereford to give John Milton

1385. Membrane 2d — cont.
said Nicholas for seven sarplers of wool at Calais, that tKfe wool was
there weighed and put in keeping of the said Jolin's host until he
should fuid at Bnigges security for payment of the price thereof
to certahi merchants of Florence to whose use it was first acquired,
that meanwhile the comit entered the said toNvn, no such security
being yet found, that from the time of his entry the said John had
no safe access for the purpose, for that they of Bnigges were kno\m
to be enemies of the Mng and his lieges, so that for lack of security
the wool remained long at Calais, and that though for lack of security
the said Bartholomew ought to have had it, and claimed it, the then
mayor and constable of the staple milawfully kept the same under
arrest, pretending that it was wool of certain Flemings the king's
enemies, when it was not, for that the said merchants of Lumbardy,
then dwelling in London, mainperned in chancery to answer to the
king for the price or value thereof in case it might thereafter be proved
to belong to his enemies, the king ordered the mayor and constable,
themselves or their representatives, to dearrest the wool and deliver
it to the said Bartholomew to make his advantage thereof ; and now
the mainpernors are being distrained by exchequer summons to
answer for the same, and the said Nicholas, in whom the king trusts,
has made oath in chancery that the wool was of the merchants of
Florence, and that the said John never found security for payment,
nor has any payment been yet made to the merchants of Florence
or to their attorneys. By C.
