Westminster, Edward I, on learning from trustworthy testimony that it would be for

the discouragement of malefactors if a gaol in which prisoners could be
placed and kept safely, should be made at Hertford in the place where
it used anciently to be, granted to the men of that community that
they might build a gaol there at their own cost, that malefactors should
be kept there and that gaol delivery should be made therefrom as from the
other gaols of the realm ; and now the king has learned from the men of
that community that a gaol was so built by them at Hertford, and it has
long been entirely ruined so that prisoners cannot be safely kept there,
and all prisoners arrested in the county, for lack of safe custody, are sent
out of the county to Colchester in Essex, not without great labour and
expense to the community, to the damage of the community and the «
danger of the escape of the felons, whereupon the king has been besought
to provide a remedy ; the king therefore orders the sheriff" and coroners, if
the community wishes to have a gaol, to take information with those
whom they see fit for how much that gaol can be newly built or repaired,
and to apportion and assess that sum which they find to be necessary
among the men of community without delay, and to cause it to be

adversaries of France, attacked a ship of theirs of the value of 201. laden
with their tin to the value of 24.01. IGs. 8r/., when going by sea to London,
killed nine men and Serjeants therein, took the ship so laden with them to
the town of St. Valery {tic Smirto Walcrico) and did their will therewith, not
caring to satisfy John and John therefor or for the price thereof, although
they were often requested to do so, and John and John beseeching the king
to provide remedy, he ordered Reynold de Cobham, captain of Calais, to
take an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found that a certain
ship called ' la co<i;if JoJuvi ' of Exemuth, in the time of the said truce,
when coming towards London, was taken on the coast of England before
the place called ' IVuchief ' by the said Clays of St. Valery and his fellows,
the king's enemies of France, and the said Clays and his fellows killed
John Burgeys, then master of the ship, six mariners, his fellows, and
two yeomen, Serjeants of the said John and John, and also John Cokk,
servant of John de Bridport and John Ykes, servant of John Hardy, and
they took the ship laden with the tin and other goods to the coast of

supplying the place of the captain of the marches of Calais, who by the form of

shall go to the place of Sloghdam and there lade it and cause it to be duly
customed, and that the scrutiny thereupon shall be made both for aliens
and for natives, in accordance with the order directed to them at another

in that port, where the common sale of brushwood is held, and lade their

in those parts, to wit Smalhide, Knellesdam and elsewhere, ten leagues and
more distant from that port, and there place wool, wool-fells and hides in
the bottom of their ships and boats, and brushwood above, to defraud the
king of his custom, and cross secretly thence both by night and by day,
without paying the custom, the king ordered the mayor and bailiffs to
cause proclamation to be made that all merchants and others coming to
that port for brushwood should go with their ships and boats to the place
of Sloghdam and not to the other places, upon pain of the forfeiture of the

its suburbs at such a moderate price, that the vendors might gain a
reasonable profit and the people not be aggrieved by an excessive price, and
to supervise tbe selling and punish those who acted contrary to the
ordinance, and although the king gave that order for the public benefit, yet
the mayor and others, at the procurement of the vintners of .that city,
wilfully interpreting the siiid order in a sinister manner, having omitted the
right information upon the premises, have resolved to sell the gallon of
wine in the taverns of the city and its suburbs at 8*/., where previously it
was sold at G'/., as the king has learned, whereupon he has been besought
to provide a remedy : order to tbe mayor, aldermen and sheriffs to take
further deliberation upon the premises, to correct Avhat they have wrongly
decided concerning the sale of wine namely at 8(/. the gallon, to cause such
wine at a less price to be exposed for sale in the taverns even if the
taverners are unwilling, and to supervise such sale, and that everyone buying
wine in the taverns may see the drawing of the wine at the head of the
cask, so that no dangerous mixing may intervene, and to cause this to be
proclainu'd and to severely punish any excesses attempted contrary to the
said ordinance, so that the king may not have cause to punish them as
favouring the said vintners contrary to the public utility. By K. and C.

from the manor and its appurtenances arising are rightly due to the said
church and to the prebendary for the time being, Ralph has withdrawn
those tithes from the church, because the Templars, who had a chapel in
the manor in their time, were so privileged that they did not pay tithes
anywhere of the lands cultivated by them, Ralph asserting that the tithes
of the manor, which he holds for life by the king's grant together with
the advowson of the said chapel, ought to pertain to one who occupies the
chapel, and that he cannot pay those tithes at another place than the
chapel without the king's privity, although Ralph has been informed by
the said clerk that the tithes of that manor of right pertain to his church,
whereupon the said clerk has besought the king to provide a remedy, and
because it seemed to those of the council learned in the law that a privilege
granted to the Templars could not be extended upon their ceasing to the
places which belonged to them, especially as a privilege granted to a
person follows him and is extinguished with him ; the king notifies
Ralph that it is his will that notwithstanding the said grant, all tithes
from the manor and its appurtenances arising shall be paid to the said
parish church as is due, and Ralph and his heirs shall not be molested
because they are so paid. By letter of the secret seal.

so behaving that a complaint thereupon may not reach the king, as
although, in accordance with the form of the grant, the king appointed
certain collectors to levy the subsidy in the liberty of Durham, and to seal
each cloth when the subsidy had been paid under the seal ordained
therefor, and to take as forfeit to the king all cloths not so sealed
which are exposed for sale, yet the bishop hinders those collectors from
exercising their office, claiming that the subsidy on cloth brought into his
liberty ought to pertain to him, and causes the subsidy to be exacted for
his own use both of cloth on which it has been paid and of cloth on
which it has not been paid, and cloth to be arrested for that cause,
and the king wonders that he has presumed to do such things, especially
as he is bound by oath to the preservation of the king's rights, and
it is not lawful nor reasonable that such a subsidy, which pertains
purely to the king as of the right of his crown, by reason of the remission
aforesaid, should be collected by any except his ministers especially
deputed for the purpose.

support the charges incumbent on the hospital and ought to live of its alms
in accordance with the foundation thereof, as the second statute passed at
Westminster in the time of Edward I contains that if the wardens of
hospitals and other religious houses founded by that king or his progenitors
alienate the lands conferred upon their houses by the king, those lands shall
be taken into the king's hand and held at will, and the purchaser shall lose
his recovery both of the land and of the money which he paid, and now

late earl of March, held before he was taken and adjudged to death, in
regard to actions and hereditary successions of all manors, honours,
castles, lordships, lands, demesnes, services, reversions, liberties, fees and
advowsons and to all other rights as if no judgment had been rendered
against the earl, because that judgment was annulled as erroneous in the
last parliament held at Westminster on account of divers errors found in
the record and process — is suing as kinsman and heir of the said Roger,
against William de Monte Acuto, earl of Salisbury, for restitution of the
land of Dynbegh in Wales which, as he asserts, belonged to the said late
earl of March in fee on the day of the said judgment, falling to the present
earl of March, as the right and inheritance of the late earl his grandfather,
whose heir he is ; and the earl of Salisbury pleading before the king in
that affair has alleged that the king granted by charter, dated 18 January
in the 4th year of the reign, the castle, town, manor and honour of
Dynbegh and the cantreds of Ros, Reywynok, and Kaiernier and the
conamote of Dynmael in Wales, which the present earl of March calls the
land of Dyncbogh in the said writ, to William de Monte Acuto, father of
the present earl of Salisbury, who is the heir of his body, to hold to himself
and the heirs of his body together with the knights' fees, advowsons of
churches, chapels, religious houses and hospitals, and with the hundreds,
markets, fairs, chaces, warrens, parks, w^oods, free fisheries, royalties,
liberties, free customs and all other appurtenances, to the value of 1,000
marks of land yearly, with reversion to the king if William the father
should die without such an heir, that afterwards by another charter, dated
24 April in the 12th year of the reign, the king ratified that grant with
the assent of the prelates, earls, barons and others of the council, granting
that if the said castle, town, manor, honour, cantreds and commote or any
parcel thereof should be recovered or deraigned out of the earl's hand by
judgment of the king's court, without the earl's fault, then the king should
provide the earl with other lands to the value of those so recovered out of his
hands, for himself and the heirs of his body for ever, and by another charter

W. then bishop of Exeter held so far as concerned the choir, the college,
collations of prebends, institution and destitution of canons, and the persons
of the canons and their goods pertaining to their prebends, and was and
had of old been free and exempt from all ordinary jurisdiction, forbad the
then bishop of Chichester to attempt anything to the prejudice of the bishop
of Exeter or his chapelry aforesaid, by exercising ordinary jurisdiction there,
nevertheless because at the petition of the bishop of Chichester, exhibited
before the king and his council, who deliberated thereupon, it was found
that the writ was not in due form, especially because the said king asserted
that the chapelry not being in his own hand but in that of the bishop of
Exeter, was free and exempt, the king revoked and annulled that writ and
notified the bishop of Chichester to do what belonged to him, notwithstand-
ing the said prohibition, as is found by inspection of the late king's
chancery rolls ; and now the king has learned from the archbishop that
whereas he is visiting the diocese of Chichester and wishes to exercise the
office of visitation in that chapel, being in the said diocese, and upon the
ministers of the chapel, and to reform the defects found there, certain
persons pretending that it was the king's free chapel and exempt from all
ordinary jurisdiction have procured a writ prohibiting the bishop from

her, and to direct the escheator in Ireland to cause Maurice and Elizabeth
to have seisin of all the lands whereof David was seised in Ireland at his
death, in his demesne as of fee, as at the suit of John son of Nicholas de
Kery showing the king that all the lands in Ireland which belonged to David,
in the king's hand by reason of the minority of David's heir, delivered to
John to hold until the heir should come of age, had been seised again into
the king's hand at an untruthful suggestion made to the king and his council
in England, the king ordered the chancellor to certify him upon the method
and process of the retaking of those lands, and upon the tenor of the
inquisition taken thereupon after David's death, by writ of (licm clatisit

king and returned that on inspection of the rolls and memoranda of the
chancery of Ireland it was not found that any writ had been sent from
England to take the said lands into the king's hand again, and no process
for any such retaking, and for fuller information the justiciary of Ireland
was directed to inspect the rolls and memoranda of his place and to
certify in the chancery of Ireland if anything should be found thereupon,
and he returned that he had not found any such writ, record or process and
that it was said in the king's council of Ireland that Maurice Caunton,
either forfeited for

Ireland, or
David's father, whose heir he was,
with his banner displayed, against
was outlawed for that cause, and it is not found in the king's courts of
Ireland by what process David came to the lands which belonged tO his
f'ather, but it is believed that he did his homage in England and had
restitution thereof there, and that the truth may be ascertained by the rolls
of the chancery of England, and nevertheless the lands were lately taken
into the king's hand by the death and by reason of the forfeiture of David
son of William de Caunton, nephew of the said David de Caunton, who
feloniously killed the said David and intruded into those lands after David's
death, and now Maurice and Elizabeth have appeared before the king and
his council beseeching the king to order those lands to be delivered to them,
as Elizabeth has proved her age, and it is found by inquisition that David
de Caunton held certain of the lands in chief and certain of others than
the king, that Elizabeth is his daughter and heir, and that the lands were
taken into the king's hand by reason of her minority, it not being found
by any process of record that the lands ought to be forfeit by reason of

that certain malevolent persons, contriving to exclude Anne and Edward
from the profits pertaining to those two thirds, put it about that they do
not hold that wardship of the king's will and that they will shortly be

come into the king's hands by reason of the minority of Joan and
Elizabeth; Nicholas's daughters and heirs, who died while under age and
in the king's wardship, .Joan outliving Elizabeth, and that the rent in
Athelardeston is held in chief by the service of a fourth part of a knight's
fee, and all the other lands are held of others than the king, and
that Alice, one of Nicholas's sisters, whom Walter Malet has married, Joan

Hugh de Wrottesle, knight, if on viewing the record and process of his
outlawry they find that he was outlawed on Thursday after St. ]3arnabas

Stafibrd, as Hugh has shown the king that whereas he was placed m
exigent to be outlawed by processes made before those justices by an
appeal which Katherine late the wife of L^hilip de Lutteleye made against
him, by writ, for Philip's death, and also by another process by another
appeal which Agnes late the wife of Philip de Whitemere made against
him by another writ for the death of her husband, and he was afterwards
outlawed' for that cause, and he has besought the king to order the
outlawry to be annulled, as at the time of the promulgation of the same
and previously he was in the king's service in Brittanny, and was there
taken by the king's enemies in war, and it is clear that Hugh was in the

Bartholomew without Oxford for 7s. 6'/. of the first year of the three

the king for the defence of the realm, and the residue staying in the
town hardly suffice for the custody of the town against the attacks of the

by the others of the community by due apportionment among them, and
the whole should be delivered to the chancellor and proctors of the
university to be distributed among those who suffered damage according

the said mayor and burgesses to go to Oxford and pay the sum adjudicated
or make security to the chancellor, masters and scholars to pay it before
Monday after St. James the Apostle next at certain times to be agreed upon

a great profit from the said mine, and praying the king to grant the
church the tithe aforesaid, although it appeared by certificate of the

reign, to notify John de Monte Acuto, knight, now tenant of the castle and
manor of Werk upon Tweed, to be in chancery on the morrow of the Purifi-
cation following to show cause why the said castle and manor should not be
taken into the king's hand and delivered to Gerard Salvayn, son and heir of
Margaret, wife of John Salvayn, daughter and one of the heirs of Robert de
Ros of Werk, a Scot and rebel against Edward I, and further to do and
receive what the king's court should determine, as among certain conditions
which King Edward I with the assent of the earls, barons and other lieges
then with him in Scotland, granted to John Comyu of Badenagh for himself
and the men of Scotland then in war against that king, he granted that
John and the said men should be safe in life and limb and quit of
imprisonment, that they should not be disinherited, that their heirs then
under age should enjoy the same conditions, and John Salvayn aforesaid
and John de Knokkes, who married Isabel, younger daughter and the other
heir of the said Robert, often approached the late king and asserted that
Margaret and Isabel were under age at the time of the said grant, and
ought to enjoy the said conditions, and petitioned the late king that the
lands which belonged to Robert might be restored to them in accordance

with those conditions, ofifering to that king the homage and fealty due, and
he, seeing that Margaret and Isabel, who were born and baptised in
Scotland and had proved their ages before William de Bevercotes, the
chancellor in Scotland, were minors at the time of the grant, took the
homage of John Salvayn for the purparty falling to Margaret of all the
lands which Robert held of Edward I in chief on the day when he
joined that king's enemies in Scotland, and rendered that purparty to
John and Margaret, wherefore on 20 February in the 7th year of his
reign the late king ordered John de Ever, escheator beyond Trent, to make
a legal partition of all the said lands in the presence of the heirs and
parceners, if they chose to attend, into two equal parts, and to cause John
Salvayn and Margaret as the eldest to have seisin of the purparty falling
to her, retaining in the king's hand until further order the purparty
falling to John de Knokkes and Isabel, and Gerard son of Margaret,
his mother, having survived Isabel who died without an heir of her
body, it is said, petitioned the king to order the said castle and manor
to be delivered to him, as the said castle and manor, which Robert
held when he joined the Scots, were parcel of the said inheritance and were
taken into the then king's hand by reason of the said defection, and John
Salvayn, ]\Iargaret and Isabel died before the said partition was made, and
the castle and manoi" had not hitherto been delivered to John Salvayn,
Margaret and Isabel, or to any of their heirs; and on the said day the sheriff
of Northumberland returned that he had notified the said John de Monte
Acuto to be in chancery to show cause etc. as aforesaid, by Robert del Milne
and Henry son of John de Werk, and that day both Gerard and John came

And the said John says that the said exoniplifioation exhibited by Gcniid
29 EDWAED III. 173
1355. [}fEMBRANE 3.]
contains an ordinance made by the said oail of Ulster and other magnates
of England at Strathorde, and another ordinance made at Westminster by
Edward I and this writ is founded upon one ordinance and upon the other,
and also upon the partition, rendering and livery of the inheritance which
belonged to Robert de Roos between Margaret and Isabel, and so the writ
is so uncertain and founded upon so many and divers matters that he
cannot have his certain answer as is lawful, wherefore he craves judgment
concerning the writ ; and if it seems to the court that the writ is sufficient,
he is ready to say other things : and he was told by the court to answer
further if he saw fit, saving to him that challenge, and upon this John says
that whereas Gerard supposes by his writ that Robert de Roos, his ancestor,
was a Scot, and therefore ought to enjoy the condition and ordinance
aforesaid, Robert was a pure Englishman, born at Werk in the said county,
in the allegiance of the king of England, that as to the allegation in the
writ that the ordinance extends to the heirs under age nothing is found
thereof in the affirmation made by the king ; he also says that Robert was
seised of the said castle and manor in his demesne as of fee and was an
Englishman and liegeman of Edward I long before the beginning of the
said war upon which the peace aforesaid was drawn up, to which war alone
the said ordinance and grant extend, and he eloigned himself from the
king, contrary to his homage and allegiance, joined the Scots as an enemy
to the king and a felon and traitor and so died, without that that he ever
came to the king's peace or was reconciled, and so he forfeited to the
king all his lands, goods and chattels, by reason of which forfeiture the
said castle, manor and other lands of Robert were seised into that king's
hand, and that king was seised thereof until the 24th year of his reign, at
which time he granted the castle and manor by charter to William de R* s
of Hamelak, who continued in seisin thereof until the 33rd year of that
reign ; and he says that in the said king's parliament, held at Westminster
on the octaves of the Nativity of the Virgin in that year, the said John
Salveyn and Margery, whose son and heir Gerard alleges himself to be,
and Isabel, as Robert's daughters and heirs, by means of whom Gerard now
claims, sued to the said king by their petition founded upon the ordinance
and grant aforesaid, praying him that they might enjoy the said ordinance
and grant in regard to the lands which their said father held at the
beginning of the said war, into which parliament came William de Roos of
Hamelak, then tenant of the said manor of the king's gift, being warned
thereupon, and said for himself and the king that John, Margaret and
Isabel could claim nothing therein by the mean of Robert as his heirs
and ought not to be heard thereupon, for that they then sued for the said
tenements as in the right of Margaret and Isabel as Robert's heirs by
reason of an ordinance granted by Edward I to those men of Scotland who
were admitted to his peace in the last war, and by those words, to wit, that
they should not be disinherited, and they also craved to enjoy that ordinance
with respect to the lands which Robert held in England and in Scotland
at the beginning of that war, to which William de Ros said that John,
^Margaret and Isabel ought in no wise to be admitted, for that long before
the beginning of the war, to which the ordinance extends, Robert became the
king's enemy, joining the Scots, and so forfeited all his lauds to the king,
and he never returned to the king's peace, but died a felon and traitor,
wherefore the king seized his lands and afterwards gave the manor of Werk
to William, and he offered to verify this if necessary, and craved judgment
both for the kiug and for himself ; and in the said parliament, after diligent
examination it was recorded that Robert de Ros, long before the beginning
of that war, traitorously eloigned himself from the king, joining the Scots,
174 CALENDAR OF CLOSE EOLLS.
2355 [Membrane 3 — cant.]
that he never returned to the king's peace but died an enemy, and after
viewing the said ordinance, it seemed to the said king and his council that
John, Margaret and Isabel ought not to be heard in their suit by reason of
that ordinance, wherefore it was decided by judgment rendered in that
parliament that William de Eos should go thereupon without a day, and
that John, Margaret and Isabel should take nothing by their suit, and he
produces the tenor of that record and process under the great seal of the
said king in the following words [text follous] ; and he says further that
William de Roos continued his seisin by virtue of that judgment during the
whole of that king's life, and also after his death until the tenth year of
the late king's reign, in which he died seised of the castle and manor in
his demesne as of fee, and after his death William his son and heir entered
the same and was seised thereof until the llth year of that reign, when he
granted the manor and castle to the king to hold for ever, without that
that the king or any other save only William de Ros and William his son
had anything therein from the time of the grant to William to the time of
that enfeoffment, and the said king contiiaued his seisin thereof for his life
and died seised thereof, whereby the castle and manor descended to the
present king who, Avith the assent of the prelates, earls, barons and other
magnates of England granted the said manor to William de Monte Acuto,
with all its appurtenances and all the other lands within its liberty, to hold
for his life, and afterwards, by other letters patent, seeing that the castle in
the said manor was ruined and broken and that William must incur great
expenses in repairing it, because it was situate in the march near Scotland
and needed great furnishing for the defence of the manor and lands and of
the people of the adjacent parts, the king, on 2 August in the 7th year of
the reign, granted that William should have the said castle, manor and
lands for life by the service of one knight's fee for all service, with
remainder to John and the heirs of his body, or in default of such heirs to
the right heirs of W^illiam ; and he produces the king's letters patent
testifying the premises, and says that the said William de Monte Acuto
died, and after his death he entered the castle and manor by virtue of that
gift and now holds them ; he also says that Margaret and Isabel, after the
death of John Salveyn and John de Knokkes, their husbands, joined the
king's enemies in Scotland and there married Scotsmen the king's enemies,
and had issue, and certain of that issue came with the Scots the king's
enemies to Durem in England and were there killed in battle with other
enemies, wherefore he craves judgment by reason of the premises and of the
judgment rendered as aforesaid which has never been annulled, either by
the said ordinance or by any other cause, and he craves that Gerard may be
non-suited and that he may depart from the court quit and without a day ;
and Gerard says that where John de IMonte Acuto alleges among other
things that Robert de Ros was born in England and so the pardon granted
to the Scots could not extend to him, and also John alleged that Margaret,
Gerard's mother, and Isabel, his aunt, after the death of John Salveyn and
John Knokkes, joined the Scots, and that Isabel had issue who came to
Durham and were killed there, and also that William de Ros of Hamelak
and William his son continued their estate in the castle and manor long
after the said agreement, Gerard does not acknowledge the premises as true,
but says that if John de Monte Acuto had taken those allegations, or any
of the premises which could be gainsaid, for a plea to bar
[Membrane 2.]
his right of action, he would be ready to prove the contrary in what way
the court might determine, but for that John has pleaded only the judgment
29 EDWAED III. 175
■jotc [Meuibrane 2\--cont.
rendered in parliament, Gerard (protesting- that all the premises alleged
against him are not true) says that he is by law discharged from answering,
for at the time of the rendering of the aforesaid judgment the said agreement,
upon which alone he bases his suit, was not made, for the judgment, as
appears by the exemplification, was rendered on the octaves of the Nativity
of the Virgin, 33 Edward I, at which date Margaret and Isabel had no
cause of action, for that no pardon was made to reinstate those who had been
disinherited by virtue of their adherence, but only a conference had taken
place between the magnates of England and John Comyu of Badenagh,
by which it was ordained that John Comyn and his adherents should be
admitted to the king's peace, but afterwards, on 15 October in the said
33rd year, the said king established a peace between England and Scotland,
reciting how the people of Scotland were one time at his peace, and at his
allegiance by homage and other obligations, as he by his council might
ordain, and how afterwards they frequently rose against his homage and
allegiance, and some returned to his peace and among the last John Comyn
of Badenagh and all his other adherents, and the king, in consideration of
the good conduct of the men of Scotland after his last departure from those
parts, and in hope of future good behaviour, granted that his men of
Scotland generally should be quit of life and members, imprisonment and
disherison, and pardoned all except those still in prison, even those who had
. not hitherto surrendered to his peace, and ^largaret and Isabel were not
among those excepted, because after Robert's death, who was born in
Scotland, they were under age, as appears by the proof of their age made
in the late king's time, wdien John Salveyn, by virtue of the said ordinance,
sued the said king offering his homage, craving that his wife's purparty
might be delivered to him, and that king received the homage of John
Salveyn for Mai-garet's purparty by virtue of the ordinance, and ordered that
purparty to be delivered to him, retaining in the king's hand the purparty
which fell to Isabel, wherefore Gerard craves judgment as at the time of
the judgment whereby Margaret and Isabel were barred from action such
action did not pertain to them because the said pardon was not then made,
but the ordinance and general pardon was made afterwards and so the title
accrued to them after the judgment ; Gerard also says that the said agree-
ment and pardon is found in the rolls of the parliament of Edward I held at
Carlisle in the 35th year of his reign, and so it is proved that the general
pardon was affirmed wdth the assent of the king, the magnates and com-
monalty of the realm, because nothing may be enrolled in the parliament
rolls except what is agreed to by the king, peers and commonalty, wherefore
he craves judgment and proffers a transcript of the enrolment of the said
parliament under the exchequer seal, which testifies the premises ; and
John de Montagu says that because Gerard does not deny that Robert de
Ros of Werk, his ancestor, joined the Scots long before the w^ir upon which
the said pardon was made, whereby he forfeited all his lands to the king,
and never returned or was reconciled, and by reason of that forfeiture the
king was seised of the said castle and manor and gave them to William de
Ros of Hamelak as aforesaid, against whom John Salvayn and Margaret his
wife, Gerard's ancestors, sued together with John de Knokkes and Isabel, by
their petition in parliament, and William de Ros, then holding the castle and
manor, came into the said parliament, and alleged as recorded above, and he
departed quit by the judgment of parliament and his estate was confirmed
by that judgment, and John and Margaret, John and Isabel took nothing by
that judgment, and Gerard does not deny the continuance of the seisin of
William de Ros and of William his son nor that the late king nor any other
had nothing therein until the said feoffment, and the judgment still remains

in force, and he alleges nothing except the pardon made to the men o.
Scotland which cannot extend to Robert de Ros, who died long before without
the allegiance of Edward I, and also shows nothing whereby he can exact
any inheritance of lands in England because the said pardon, even though
it could avail him, can only extend to lands in Scotland, and as regards the
receiving of homage by Edward I, that was only done by false suggestion and
by inquisition of ofiice, and it does not lie with Gerard to allege that his
present suit was founded on an ordinance after the rendering of judgment
in the said parliament, because his said ancestors alleged the same ordinance
to have been before the judgment of parliament, and the ordinance and
pardon cannot be understood except for one and the same war and upon one
and the same matter, he craves judgment as before ; and the record and
process aforesaid and the reasons alleged by the parties having been
diligently examined by the chancellor and treasurer, the justices of both
Benches and all the king's council, a day was given to the parties on the
quinzaine of Easter following to hear judgment upon the plea, on which
day John came before the chancellor and all the council and craved judgment,
and Gerard, being solemnly exacted, did not pursue, wherefore it was con-
sidered that John should go thereof without a day.
Enrolment of pleas at Westminster on the quinzaine of Easter
29 Edward III. The king by a writ dated at Westminster on 20 February
in the 29th year of the reign, ordered Queen Philippa or her bailifl's of
Tyndale to notify Gerard Salvayn and all others of that liberty who hold
lands which belonged to Robert de Ros of Werk, on the day when he joined
the Scots against Edward I, to be in chancery on the quinzaine of Easter
following to show cause why all those lands should not be taken into the
king's hand by reason of Robert's treason and forfeiture and further to do
and receive what the king's court should determine, as John Salvayn and
Margaret his wife and Isabel, Margaret's sister, Robert's daughters and heirs,
petitioned Edward I in parliament at Westminster in the 33rd year of his
reign to restore to them Robert's lands in England and Scotland in
accordance with the ordinance made in favour of the Scots who should come
to the king's peace, and after a discussion upon the matter by that king and
his council it was expressly recorded that Robert joined the Scots long before
the beginning of the last war in Scotland and never thereafter returned to
the king's peace, wherefore it seemed to the king and council that the said
demandants should not be heard in their petition, and it was agreed that
they should take nothing by their petition, and now the king has learned
that several lands of Robert's inheritance which ought to escheat to the
king by reason of Robert's treason, are in the hands of Gerard and some
others ; and on the said day came John de Gaunt, who sues for the king,
and the bailiff of the liberty of Tyndale returned that he notified Gerard,
tenant of the manor of Belestre and of the town of Plemmelore in that
liberty, which belonged to Robert at the time of joining the Scots, to be in
chancery on the said quinzaine to show cause why the said manor and town
should not be taken into the king's hand as aforesaid and further to do and
receive etc., by William de Thorngrafton and John de Walton, and that there
were no other tenants of other lands which belonged to Robert, of whom
he was aware, and on the said quinzaine Gerard came in person, and John
de Gaunt for the king proffers the record and process of the aforesaid
judgment given in parliament, now exemplified under the great seal, in the
following words [text fulluwx] dated at Westminster on the 13 November,
28 Edward III,
20 EDWARD III. 177
j355^ [MEMBRANE 1.]
and he craves for the king that the said manor and town may be seised into
the king's hand by reason of Robert's forfeiture ; and Gerard says that the
said manor and town ought not to be so seised or confiscated, for that
Edward I, when in Scotbmd, granted with the assent of the earls, barons
and other lieges there to John Comyn of Badenagh that he and the men of
Scotland with him should be safe in life and members, should be quit of
imprisonment, and should not be disinherited, and that their heirs under age
should enjoy the like conditions, and he says that afterwards John Balvayn
and Margaret his wife, eldest daughter of Robert and mother of Gerard, and
John de Knokkes and Isabel his wife, Robert's second daughter, sued to the
late king, asserting that at the time of the said grant they were under age
and ought to enjoy the said conditions, and they craved restitution of
Robert's lands from the king, and offered the homage and fealty due therefor,
and afterwards the said king was certified by William de Bevercotes, then
his chancellor in Scotland, that Margaret and Isabel were born and baptized
in Scotland and had proved their ages before him, and the king took the
homage of John Salvayn for the purparty falling to Margaret of the lands
which Robert held in chief, and rendered that purparty to John and
Margaret, and on 20 February in the 7th year of his reign that king
ordered John de Evere, escheator beyond Trent, to make a partition, and
cause John and Margaret to have seisin of that purparty, retaining in the
king's hand until further order the purparty falling to John de Knokkes and
Isabel, and he says that the manor and town aforesaid were in that manner
delivered to John and Margaret with other lands, and he is seised thereof as
their son and heir, and whereas by the writ of scire facias it is supposed that
John and Margaret sued with John de Knokkes and Isabel at another time
in the parliament of Edward I in the 33rd year of his reign, that they might
use and enjoy the said ordinance as regards the lands which Robert held
in England and Scotland at the beginning of the war, he says that the suit
and judgment ought not to prejudice them, for at the time of the judgment
the said agreement of peace was not made, and by the exemplification it is
clear that it was rendered on the octaves of the Nativity of the Virgin,
83 Edward I, whereas the agreement of peace was made on 15 October in that
year, and afterwards Edward I granted that all who rendered themselves
to his peace, except those in his prison, should be quit of life and members
and not be disinherited, and Margaret and Isabel were not among those
excepted, and Gerard says that his right accrued ex post facto, to wit by the
ordinance and pardon aforesaid, which are found enrolled in the rolls of
parliament, 35 Edward I, of which enrolment he proffers a transcript,
where for he craves judgment ; and John de Gaunt for the king says that
whereas John Salvayn, Margaret and Isabel, whose heir Gerard alleges
himself to be, founded their right upon Robert, who was a traitor who never
returned to the king's peace, and were disinherited by judgment of parlia-
ment, which judgment remains in force and was not annulled by the said
ordinance or by any other cause, and that ordinance does not extend to lands
in England or to Englishmen, and Gerard alleges nothing except a pardon
to Scots, which cannot extend to Robert, who was a pure Englishman and
died long before out of the king's allegiance, and it does not lie with
Gerard to allege that the said judgment was made before the ordinance
because his ancestors by their said petition and suit supposed the contrary,
to wit, that the ordinance was made before the judgment of parliament,
and Gerard also alleges for himself the receipt of homage by the king,
which is worth nothing to him and cannot now prejudice the king because
the receipt of that homage was only done under false suggestion and by
inquisition of office, he craves judgment for the king; and the record

shall intermeddle with the sale thereof, but shall permit such owners of
herrings and goods to sell them freely as they will, in accordance with the
charters and ordinance made thereupon, and that no one shall go with
crayers called 'pikers' or other ships or boats to meet ships coming to Great
Yarmouth with herrings or other merchandise, in Seynt Nicholas Rode,
Kirkele Rode or Caisternesse or elsewhere at sea or on the sea coast or in
other places, to forestall the said herrings or merchandise or to buy them
before they come to the said port, contrary to the statute thereupon, and if
the bailitt's find any doing the contrary after the proclamation they shall
arrest them with their ships and goods, taking the jiusse of the town if
necessary, and keep them in prison, detaining the goods as forfeit to the
king, until further order, so that answer for such goods be made at the
exchequer ; as it was granted by charters of the king's predecessors to
the burgesses of Great Yarmouth that all merchandise of fish or other things
which should be brought within the port of that town in ships or boats or
otherwise, for tratKc there, should be unladed openly at that town and not
elsewhere Avithin the port, and be exposed for sale by those who bring them
or their servants without any forestalling, abbrochment or other impediment
whatsoever, and further the ordinance made between the said burgesses
and the men and tenants of Little Yarmouth and Gorleston upon the
dissension between them touching the lading and unlading of ships in that
port, made by the king and his council, contains that all ships coming
laden with goods, whether herrings or other fish or other things, within
the port and water of Great Yarmouth, except the ships belonging to the
said men and tenants of Little Yarmouth and Gorleston, shall be unladed
at the town of Great Yarmouth and not elsewhere, and the goods
exposed for sale by the hands of those bringing and wishing to sell
them, or by their servants, without any forestalling or other impediment,
and the last statute published at Westminster contains that no merchant
shall go by land or water to meet wine or other merchandise coming to
England at sea or elsewhere, to forestall the same, or to buy it before it
comes to port to be unladed, or enter ships for this cause until the same has
been landed to be exposed for sale, under pain of forfeiture of life and
members, lands and all other goods and chattels ; and now the king has
learned that some persons, not considering the said charters, ordinance and
statute, take herrings and other merchandise brought to the town of Great
Yarmouth, from the hands of those that bring them, sell them and detain
a greater share of the profit therefrom for their own gain, paying little to
the merchants to whom the goods belonged, and many others meet both in
that port and at sea the ships laden with herrings and other merchandise
coming to that port and to the fair of Great Yarmouth and forestall the said
herrings, etc. before they can reach the said town.

towns and places without the water and port of Great Yarmouth, anchor

those who wish to buy, in Kirkele Rode and elsewhere without the said
port and water, and to permit those wishing to buy to do so without any
impediment, so that no merchandise be sold contrary to the form of the
preceding order ; as the men and tenants of Kirkele, Laistoft and other
towns of the sea coast adjacent to those parts have shown the king that

forestallers, although they have no means of living except by the prohfes of
merchandise coming to the towns, and if they are excluded from tbe said
profits they will have to abandon those towns, wherefore they have prayed
the king to provide a remedy, and it was and is the intention of the king

to sell s\ich merchandise, may so do, and men of those towns or any others
wishing to buy may so do without impeachment.

depressed, charged with debt, wasted and destroyed for lack of good
government of its lands and possessions and by the negligence of the
presidents there from the time of its being so taken, that unless it is
speedily succoured its estate will be desperate.
To Anne late the wife of Edward le Despenser and to Edward son of
Edward le Despenser, kinsman and heir of Hugh le Despenser, tenant in
chief, fermors of the lands w^hich belonged to Hugh in the county of
Gloucester, now in the king's hand. Order to pay to John de Bello Campo,
the king's yeoman, what is in arrear to him of 12L 4.s. 4^'/. for his wages
and those of his men from 11 October in the 28rd year of the reign, and to
pay him those wages henceforth, as on the said 11 October the king granted
to John, for his good service, the bailiwick of Cors in that county, in the
king's hand by reason of the minority of Edward the son, to hold until
Edward should come of age in the same manner as others had held that
bailiwick, recei-sing the customary wages therein, and by the certificate of
•Simon Basset, late escheator in that county, it is found that the keepers
of that bailiwick have hitherto received 121. is. 4ir/. yearly for the wages of
themselves and their men, and that the bailiwick is parcel of two thirds
of the said lands committed to those fermors.

To the sheriff of Gloucester. Order to see that the weirs of Hynewer
contain the proper breadth between the rods and stakes thereof, and to
amove any which are found too close together, as on its being found by
inquisition taken by Simon Basset and Thomas le Botiller that the weirs
of the abbots of Pershore and Flaxleye of Hynewer, between the sea and
the weirs of ]\fynstreworth and Duny, which the abbot of St. Peter,
Gloucester, holds of the king's grant for rendering a certain ferm yearly to
the king, and all other weirs in the river Sevarne situate between the said
weirs of Mynstreworth and Duny and the sea have been wont to
have such breadth between their rods and stakes in all holes and
spaces, that a man's hand in a horseskin glove might easily be placed in
the spaces between the rods and stakes, so that lampreys coming from
the sea might easily come by those spaces to the said weir, and
that the sheriff of Gloucester for the time being used to survey
those weirs nearest the sea as often as they were repaired, to see that they
were of the aforesaid breadth and not narrower, and the said sheriffs,
from time out of mind, have been accustomed to survey those weirs as
aforesaid and to amove unusual narrowness found therein, and that the
said abbots of Pershore and Flaxleye have repaired their weirs of Hynewer,
between the sea and the king's weirs of Mynstreworth and Dunye, with
rods and stakes placed too close together, not containing the .said
breadth, from Michaelmas in the 2Hth year of the reign until now,
so that no fish can cross to the king's weirs by such spaces, to the
damage of the abbot of Gloucester and the loss of the profit of his weirs
and to the diminution of the king's ferm, and the king ordered the sheriff to
notify the abbots of Pershore and Flaxleye to be before the king in
chancery on Monday in the second week of Lent last past, to show cause why
their said weirs should not contain enough breadth between the rods and
stakes to admit a man's hand gloved as aforesaid and have those placed
too close together amoved by the sheriff, and further to do and receive what
the king's court should determine, and the said abbot, though notified by
the sheriff, did not come on the said day when summoned.
To Thomas de Berkele of Coberle, escheator in the county of Gloucester
and the adjacent march of Wales. Order to cause .John son and heir of
John Anne, who held of the heir of Hugh le Despenser, tenant in chief,
a minor in the king's wardship, by knight service, to have seisin of all the
lands whereof his father was seised at his death in his demesne as of fee,
as .John the son has proved his age before the escheator and the king has
taken his fealty for all the lands which his father held of the said heir and
has rendered them to him.
To the collectors of customs in the port of Southampton. Order to
permit (.'ommolus de Yenagone, an alien merchant, to lade 4 sarplars of
wool in that port and to take them to Flanders without again paying the
custom and subsidy thereon, if they find by the certificate of the mayor and
constable of the king's staple of Chichester and of the collectors of customs
in the port of Chichester that the said sarplars were duly weighed and
customed in the port of Chichester, as Commolus has petitioned the king to
grant that he may take those sarplars from Chichester to the port of
Southampton, and there lade them and take them to Flanders as aforesaid,
as he placed the sarplars, after they had been duly weighed and customed,
in a ship in the port of Chichester, laden with wool and other merchandise,
to bo taken to Flanders, and the wool has been cast out of the said ship
because the ship was too heavily laden, and so the sarplars still remain at
Chichester because there is no passage of ships to Flanders in the port
there. The king wishes the collectors in the port of Chichester to be
oharged with the said custom and subsidy.

To the chancellor of Ireland. Nicholas bishop of Meath and Adam fitz
Oweyn, archdeacon of that place, have shown the king that whereas
William de Sancto Leodegario held the said archdeaconry of the collation
of Thomas de Sancto Leodegario, sometime bishop of that place, as of the
right of his church, until William was consecrated bishop there after the
death of William de Paulo, successor of Thomas, and although the said
archdeaconry was not vacant during the voidance of the bishopric after
the death of William de Paulo, whereby the collation of the archdeaconry
might have pertained to the king, by reason of the voidance of the
bishopric, yet John de Bolton, clerk, pretending that the archdeaconry was
vacated by the consecration of William de Sancto Leodegario as bishop, the
see being void by the death of William de Paulo, and therefore the collation
of the archdeaconry pertained to the king, procured the king's letters of
collation to that archdeaconry to be made to himself and in the king's
name sued a writ of quare iiiijmlit thereupon against the said Nicholas and
Adam before the justiciary of Ireland, whereupon Nicholas and Adam have
prayed the king to supply a remedy ; and whereas by inspection of the
chancery rolls it appears that. on 24 February in the 24th year of the reign,
the king having taken the fealty of William de Sancto Leodegario, then
bishop elect of Meath, restored the temporalities of the bishopric to him,
and by the certificate of John, archbishop of York, sent into chancery it is
found that the said archbishop consecrated the said bishop elect on 2 May
in the said 24th year, whereby the collation to the archdeaconry, which
became void by that consecration, cannot at present pertain to the king,
the king ordered the justiciary to view the record and process of the suit
pending before him upon the premises, and if the attorney who sues for the
king in the matter, in pleading, has taken as title for the king's right of
collating to the archdeaconry for this turn the voidance thereof by the
consecration of the bishop, the see being vacant and in the king's hand by
the death of AVilliani de Paulo and no other cause, then to supersede the
further holding of the plea upon the premises, because the temporalities
were restored to William before his consecration, notwithstanding that they
were delivered to him by the name of bishop (saving to the king his right
of collating to the archdeaconry for any other cause) : order, when he shall
find by the tenor of the record and process of the said suit held before the
justiciary that the king's attorney has taken title for him in the form
aforesaid, and for no other cause, to cause the letters of collation of tbe
archdeaconry to John to be revoked and the estate which Adam holds
therein by papal provision, it is said, to be ratified by letters under the
king's seal used in Ireland and to cause letters patent of indemnity to be
made for Nicholas so that neither he nor his successors may for the said
cause be impeded by the king touching the collation of the archdeaconry,
saving to the king his right to collate thereto if it belongs to him from any
other cause. By K. on the information of Richard de Norwico.

not come before William de Shareshull and his fellows, late justices of

not to intermeddle further therewith or with the other lands taken into the
king's hand by the death of John de Loudham, delivering the issues thereof
to Joan, late John's wife, as the king has learned by divers inquisitions
taken by the escheator that John at his death held no lands in those
counties in his demesne as of fee in chief, whereby the wardship of his
lands ought to pertain to the king, but that he held jointly with Joan the
said land and rent in Osmundeston and Stuston and divers other lands both
in Norfolk and Suffolk, by a fine levied in the king's court, and that the
land and rent in Osmundeston and Stuston are held in chief by the service
of a moiety of a knight's fee, and all the other lands are held of others than
the king.
To Walter Paries, escheator in the county of Northampton. Order to
take the fealty of Joan, late the wife of Thomas Forester, in accordance
with the form of a schedule enclosed, and not to intermeddle further with
the lands taken into the king's hand by Thomas's death, delivering the
issues thereof to Joan, as the king has learned by inquisition taken by the
escheator that Thomas at his death held no lands in that bailiwick in his
demesne as of fee in chief whereby the wardship of his lands ought to
pertain to the king, but that he held a messuage and a carucate of land in
Poukesleye and Leye and divers other lands in that bailiwick jointly with
Joan by the king's licence, and that the messuage and land in Poukesleye
and Leye are held in chief by the service of 2s. yearly and all the other

Westminster, and 12 acres of land in Morton to the nearest friend of John son of Thomas
brother of John Spencer of Morton, to whom the premises cannot descend
by hereditary right, together with the issues thereof, for the heir's use, as
the king has learned by inquisition taken by the escheator that John
Spenser of Morton at his death, held the premises in his demesne as of fee
in chief, by the service of finding a horse price lOs. and a sack of leather
with a pm {cJu-vdi/) of iron, in the king's army in Wales for forty days, and

said advowson was acquired by the clergy in the time of Edward I,

had been peacefully seised of the advowson from the time of that
acquisition, as of the right of their church, and had presented their clerks
thereto, to take a fine from Nicholas bishop of Meath for his trespasses and
to cause letters under the seal used in Ireland to be made to him of pardon
for those trespasses and of ratification and confirmation of the estate which
he has in that advowson, notwithstanding the statute of mortmain, so that
the bishop and his successors shall not be impeached by the king or his
ministers touching the possession of the advowson or the presentation to
that church in future by reason of any right through the said acquisition or
statute, as bishop Nicholas has petitioned the king to pardon his trespasses
(if any), and to ratify his estate in the said advowson for a reasonable fine,
as the clergy of Meath diocese acquired that advowson of Nicholas Toghmon
in the time of Edward I after the publication of the statute of mortmain,
to augment the temporalities of the bishopric, by virtue whereof the
possession of the advowson accrued to the bishop as the right of his church
according to the custom obtaining in the diocese of Meath, and so Thomas,
then bishop, and his successors, have been peacefully seised of the advowson,
and Nicholas is so seised, and he and all his predecessors, from the time of
that acquisition, have presented their clerks to that church. By K.
July 14. To William de Enefeld, escheator in the county of Hertford. Order to
Westminster, amove the king's hand from the manor of Caldecote, restoring any
issues received thereof to the abbot and convent of St. Albans, as the
king ordered the escheator to certify why he had taken that manor
into the king's hand, and the escheator returned that he had so taken' it
because it was found by inquisition of office taken before him, that one
Hugh, abbot of St. Albans, predecessor of the present abbot, had acquired
that manor in the 14th year of the late king's reign, and that the abbey of
St. Albans, which is of the foundation of the king's progenitors, became
void after that acquisition by the death of the said Hugh, and afterwards
by the death of Richard and of Michael, successively abbots there, and no
answer was made to the king for the issues and profits of the manor during
those vacancies, and that the manor was worth 61. 22^(/. yearly in each of
those vacancies, and before it came into the hands of the abbot and convent
it was charged to Alice Hurst, now deceased, in 6^ quarters of wheat and
116s. 8iL yearly for her life, and to John Hurst in 32.s. 3(/. and in a quarter
and 5 bushels of wheat for his life, and to Cristinaand Joan, sisters of John
Hurst, in 64s. Qd., and three quarters and 2 bushels of wheat yearly for their
lives, and a bushel of wheat was worth 8(/. in common years, and John.
Cristina and Joan are still alive, and the manor is still charged with the
said corrodies, and because the corrodies of John, Cristina and Joan extend
to 6L 2.S'. dd. yearly, and thus exceed the value of the manor by lOj^/. in
accordance with the escheator's certificate, it appears that no answer could
be made for any profit of the manor in the time of the said vacancies.
July 20. To John Bardolf of Wirmegeye, John de Ufiford, Henry Grene and William
Westminster, de Wychyngham. Whereas the king lately appointed them justices to

To Henry duke of Lancaster or to his justice in the duchy of Lancaster.
Order not to proceed further without consulting the king in a plea brought
by William de Horwych against the prior of Lancaster, if such a plea is

king's hand with its lands and other possessions among the houses of the
alien religious of the power of France, by reason of the war between the king
and his adversaries of France, and the king committed the keeping thereof
to the abbot of Whalleye and John de Wynewyk, clerk, rendering thereof a
certain ferm yearly, and now the king has learned that William is impleading
the said prior for 5 marks yearly which he asserts are due to him from the
priory for a pension granted to him by a predecessor of the prior, as he
says, and if that plea is proceeded with without the king being consulted,
he may easily suffer prejudice, especially as the priory will be charged
with the 5 marks if they are recovered, and so the yearly ferm will be
diminished. By C.

king the services due thereof to the manor of Yerdele Hastynges for the
time of the minority of the heir of Laurence de Hastynges, delivering any
issues levied thereof to Robert de Herle, knight, Adam Carles and Robert
Mallore, clerks, as the king ordered the escheator to certify why he had
taken into the king's hand the said manor, which belonged to William
Caumpayn, and the escheator returned that he had so taken it because
William, who held that jnanor by knight service of the said heir, a minor
in the king's wardship, as of his manor of Yerdele Hastynges, demised it
to the said Robert, Adam and Robert to hold for their lives, without
obtaining the king's licence, and by the said certificate it is clear that the
manor is not held in chief, wherefore the said demise might lawfully be

Dublin, in accordance with the king's commission to him, if he has behaved

revoking a later commission to Nicholas de Thornhull ; as on 24 July last,
the king by letters patent under the great seal of England granted that
office to Nicholas to hold during pleasure, receiving the customary fee
therein, but on 2 April in the 23rd year of the reign, the king by letters
patent under the same seal granted to Robert the said office, which he
then held for life of the grant of the justiciary of Ireland and others of the
council there, receiving the customary fees and wages therein, and it is not
right that Robert should be amoved from the said office by pretext of the
grant to Nicholas, without reasonable cause. By C.

them until they shall pay heavy ransoms, and took and carried off the said
wine, mei'chandiseand jewels and did their will therewith, to the damage of
the said merchants and contrary to the truces aforesaid, wherefore the king
lately wrote to the merchants of Spain, dwelling at I3ruges in Flanders,
requesting them to cause the said proctors to be delivered without ransom
and the wine and things taken from them or the price thereof to be restored
to the said merchants, together with the damages suffered by them in the
matter, and the said merchants of Spain dwelling at Bruges Avrote back to
the king that they in Flanders could not compel the masters and mariners
of the said ship to make restitution in that matter, but that they would
notify the premises to the said merchants of Viscay and Castres, promising
that the latter would apply a remedy with which the king should be satisfied ;
the king therefore requests those merchants of Viscay and Castres to cause
the said proctors to be released from prison without ransom, and to cause
restitution of the wine and things so taken to be made to the said merchants
of Ireland or to John Droup the elder, John Droup the younger, and Gilbert
Flemyng, for themselves and their fellows, or to cause satisfaction to be given
to them therefor, and for the damages sustained by them in the matter, in
accordance with the form of the said truces, causing such speedy justice to
be shown to those merchants as they would wish the king in like case to do
for them in his lordship and power, so that a complaint thereupon may not
be repeated to the king whereby he mi;st needs provide another remedy for
his merchants, and to certify the king by their letters of what they do at
his request, by the bearer of these presents.

the priory and its possessions to be taken again into the king's hand and to
deliver the keeping thereof to the prior by letters patent under the seal used
in Ireland for the said ferm, to hold during the war with those of France,
saving to the king the knights' fees and advowsons pertaining to the priory,
as the king lately committed to Roger the keeping of that priory and of its
possessions in Ireland, which were taken into the king's hand among the
other priories and possessions of the alien religious of the power of France
in Ireland by reason of the said war, to hold during pleasure, rendering at
the exchequer, Dublin, the extent thereof and 10.s. of increase, and now the
said prior has petitioned the king to order the keeping of the priory and
of its possessions to be committed to him for the safety and relief of the
priory and for the maintenance during the said war of divine service
therein, which has long ceased, as the priory and its lands are almost
totally wasted and destroyed for lack of rule and by the negligence of the
keepers from the time they came into the king's hand, and it has been
ordained by the king and his council that such alien religious, whose lands

Queenhithe, London, as lately the king gave orders for all the lands and
rents which belonged to Walter de Chiritou, Thomas de Swanlund and
Gilbert de Wendlyngburgh to be taken into his hand for divers great sums
due to him for the time when they M'^ere fermors of his customs and for
other causes and also for other actions which he had against them, so
to remain until they should have satisfied him for the said debts and
actions, and afterwards for John's good service and because he freely
delivered to the king his great crown pledged to him by Walter, Thomas
and Gilbert for 4,000/. when he had not been satisfied by them for that sum,
the king granted to him by patent all the lands which belonged to Walter,
Thomas and Gilbert to hold so long as they should remain in the king's
hand for the said cause or until he should be satisfied by them for the
4,000Z., and the king ordered the sherifts to deliver to John all the said
lands and rents in that city, or to show cause why they should not do so,
and the sherifts returned that they did not so deliver them for that they do
not know what lands or rents which belonged to Walter, Thomas and
Gilbert had been taken into the king's hand, or what for the said causes,
or what had been granted to John by the king's letters patent, because no
writ or order had been directed to them at the time when they were sheriffs
to seize into the king's hand any lands and rents of Walter, Thomas and
Gilbert, and by the certificate of the treasurer and barons of the exchequer
made in chancery it is found that Walter's lands in that city to wit the said
messuage, brewhouse and shops, have been taken into the king's hand for
his debts, by writ of the exchequer.

Sept. 12. To the justiciary and chancellor of Ireland for the time being. The
Westminster, king has learned from the people of Ireland that although it is pro-
vided by divers statutes and ordinances that purveyors of victuals for
the household of the king or of other magnates shall not take victuals from
any of the king's subjects except under a certain form and at a price and
under the penalties contained in those statutes and ordinances, which the
king caused to be sent to Ireland and proclaimed there, yet the purveyors
of the justiciary, chancellor and other ministers of the king there take
victuals contrary to the will of the owners, not appraised or purveyed in
accordance with the form of the statutes, often without price and tally
within and without churches and fee of the church, and chiefly from the
poor, no payment or other satisfaction being made, and when a payment
happens to be made it is hardly one third of the just price of such victuals,
wherefore the people of the land are so depressed and impoverished by such
extortions that they cannot maintain their customary estate and the king's
debts in that land cannot be levied on account of their want, but great
numbers are compelled to leave their houses and to beg ; the king therefore
orders the justiciary and chancellor to cause the said ordinances and statutes

commissions made to divers lieges under the seal used in Ireland, as often

purveyors containing the manner and form of purveying, of taking and of
paying or of making tallies, and the punishments for those taking other-
wise, so that nothing shall be taken by commissions of the justiciary
or chancellor or other ministers under their seal from any of the
king's subjects in Ireland, and if the justiciary, chancellor or other
ministers presume to make letters to purveyors or their deputies,
or if purveyors presume to take anything without the king's commissions
as aforesaid, the king will punish the said justiciary, chancellor and his
ministers for their contempt, whereof he wishes to be certified by them,
and the purveyors and their deputies shall immediately undergo justice in
accordance with the form of the statutes and ordinances, so that others may
be restrained from such oppressions by fear of the penalty. By K. and C.

as William de Odecombe, clerk, has shown the king that whereas he
ignorantly sent one of his Serjeants with Roger Beerd and certain others' to
take Richard, accused and suspect of felonies, at La Noke, and Richard
acknowledged himself a felon, became an approver and appealed several of
felonies, and should be adjudged to death by his said acknowledgment,
wherefore William, charging his conscience, fearing that he should become
irregular for the sending of his groom, if Richard be so adjudged,
has besought the king to intervene, and the king of his royal power has
commuted the punishment as aforesaid.

before the end of the term agreed upon between them without reasonable
cause or permission, to serve her, contrary to the form of the said statute,
and although Agnes alleged before the justices that Richard was her
neif and that for that cause she ought not to answer him, yet they have
caused her to be compelled to answer him and have summoned John, whom
she craved in aid, to answer thereupon, to her damage and the disinheriting
of John and contrary to the law and custom of England, and because
Richard's service, if he be a neif, is parcel of the said manor, and the free-

that manor to Nicholas son and heir of the said Robert, to hold of the said
king of Scotland, saving to King Edward and his heirs the mines of
Aldeneston, the miners and the liberty of the mine and miners which King
Edward retained, and he granted that the manor should thenceforth be of
the liberty of the king of Scotland of Tyndale, so that the miners should
answer for the mine to King Edward and his heirs as they had been
accustomed to do, and now the present king has learned from the plaint of
the miners that Alan causes them to be arrested and distrained for 20/. for
the said subsidy for the portion assessed iipon them, Avhen they are not of
the said liberty, and compels them to make divers other contributions with
the men of that liberty, to the prejudice of the king, the annulling of his
ferm and the impoverishment of the miners : and on the business being
brought before the king and his council, and reasons being heard for the king
and the said miners sueing for him and for the said queen, it was decided
that the said miners, to wit all working in the mine and all others dwelling
within the bounds appointed for getting ore and maintaining and findiiig
men to Avork therein, should be discharged of the said subsidy and of all
other contributions and charges incumbent on the said liberty and should
enjoy all liberties hitherto enjoyed by them, that the portion of the subsidy
assessed upon them should be assessed upon others of the said liberty and
levied of them, and that the miners should not have any benefit or immunity
for their lands and goods outside the said bounds, and others who are not
miners, although dwelling within those bounds, should not have that
immunity. Proviso that those who come to dwell within the bounds of the
mine and are not miners shall not be protected by that liberty by reason
of their dwelling there, but the 201. and iiny other portion of the said
subsidy assessed upon them shall be levied of them, and if Alan attempts
anything against the miners or their liberty, contrary to the form of this
order, the king will punish him as disobedient, and that he may not be able
to excuse himself on the ground of ignorance the king has enjoined William
de Presfen, before the king and council in the presence of certain of the
miners, to warn him not to intermeddle with the miners or their liberty.

the king for 100/. and when that certificate has been made the king will
cause tallies for lOOZ. to be levied at the receipt of the exchequer in discharge
of the collectors, as Commolus and John, as they assert, are bound to the
king in 100/. for the custom and subsidy of wool to be laded in that port and
they have bound themselves to Henry Picard of London in 2001. as security

in Sandhoton near Overhemelsay which the said William son of John
and William now hold, was granted by the king's progenitors to the said
chapel to celebrate divine service there for the souls of those progenitors,
and that the rent was for a long time concealed by William and William
and withdrawn, the king ordered the said sheriff to notify William and
William to be in chancery on a certain day now past to show cause why they
ought not to pay that rent and the arrears to the said warden, and on that
day the sheriff returned that he notified William and William to show
cause as aforesaid, by Robert de Flatewath and John de Crossom, and
William Piper did not come on that day and William son of John came by
Ellis de Hutton, his attorney, and said that the king's progenitors were
never seised of that rent and did not give the rent to the said chapel, and
the wardens of the chapel were never seised thereof, and he pretended to
verify this by the country, and William de Ketelwelle, chaplain, now warden

of the chapel were seised thereof until it was withdrawn by William and
William, and prayed that inquisition might be made by the country, where-
fore the king appointed Thomas de Seton, William de Notton and John

William son of John Gra holds a messuage and two bovates of laud and
William Piper holds a messuage and two bovates of land by that yearly

especially as concerns the choir, the prebends of the chapel, the parsons of
the prebends, the ministers of the chapel and the goods of the prebends, and
whereof the said bishop holds the chapelry of the grant of the king's

right which belonged to them in the matter, and the king ordered the
bishop to be there to show any cause he could for maintaining the king's

To the bailiffs of Scardeburgh for the time being. Whereas in the
parliament held at Westminster in the 25th year of the reign it was ordained
that every merchant, alien or native, bringing wine, flesh, fish or other
victual, cloth, hides, avoirdupois or other merchandise to the city of London
or to cities, boroughs, towns and sea ports of England, should sell them
without challenge in gross or by retail to those wishing to buy, notwith-
standing any liberty, grant or custom to the contrary, and that no mayor,
bailiflf, ' cachepol,' minister or any other, save the owners thereof, should
intermeddle with the sale of any kind of victuals brought to cities, boroughs
and towns or to fairs or markets, under certain penalties contained in the
statute ; and afterwards in the parliament held at Westminster in the 27th
year of the reign it was resolved that no merchant should go to meet wine
or merchandise coming to England to forestall the same before it reached
the port of unlading, or enter ships for that purpose before such
merchandise was landed, upon pain of forfeiture of life and limbs and of his
lands, goods and chattels ; and the king has learned that some, both
ministers and others of that town, go to meet ships laden with herrings
and other merchandise coming thither before they can reach the port,
forestall the said herrings and merchandise for their own gain, take fish
and other merchandise brought to the town from the fishermen and other
merchants to whom they belong, and sell them as brokers, keeping the
greater part of the sale for themselves, and paying the fishermen and
merchants too little, so that these are prevented from deriving advantage
from the sale, and many other evil deeds are done by those brokers and
their accomplices : order to cause the said statutes and ordinances to be
proclaimed, and to be observed in all their articles, and if they find any
doing the contrary after the proclamation, instantly to punish them in an
exemplary manner in accordance with the form of the statutes, and that

himself and would not stand to the law, although he should after offer to
make fine with the king, or make such fine, shall thenceforth exercise any
office in the town or intermeddle with any matters that concern the king
or the community of the town, and no fishermen or other merchants shall
be hindered from selling their fish and other goods at will by their own

it should be burned, and because the said mistery was then much damaged
and defamed because certain of the mistery, dwelling without the city, have
prepared those girdles of false work as of lead, pewter, tin and other false
things whereby the people of the city and of the realm have been deceived to
the damage and scandal of the men of the mistery, the girdlers prayed the
king to approve the said ordinance and grant, and further to grant that the
ordinance and custom should be observed in future in the said city and
throughout the realm, and to avoid such deception the king approved the
said order and custom by patent, granting that the same should be observed
throughout the realm, and that in that city and in every other city, borough
and good town of the realm where such workmen may be, one or two true
men of that mistery should be chosen by the men of the mistery dwelling
there, to observe the premises and to make search as often as they should
see fit, and if any work of the girdlers should be adorned with lead, pewter,
tin or other false thing it should be presented by the men so elected
before the mayors or wardens of the cities and towns where it was found,
and burned by judgment of such mayor or warden, and by their discretion
workmen should be punished for false work and the amercements arising
therefrom should remain to the mayors, wardens and community of the
places where such work was found, and the men chosen in that city as
aforesaid to make search as often as they came to any cities, boroughs or
towns, might make search with other men of that mistery chosen for the
purpose, and present to the mayor and wardens, as aforesaid ; and although
the king lately ordered the mayor and sheriffs to cause the said patent
to be proclaimed in that city and its suburbs, and to cause the ordinance
to be observed, yet because after the issue of that writ, the saddlers of that
city have complained before the king and council that they are contrary to
right much molested by reason of that ordinance, asserting that they, with-
out infringing the ordinance which ought not to bind them, adorn girdles
with metal not prohibited, and that the girdlers had abused their mistery,
the king seeking to supply a remedy for the public weal and on account of
various ambiguities in the business ordained a respite until the next
parliament, so that the matter might be fully discussed and determined :
order to supersede the execution of the said order in the meantime, warning
the parties to be present in that parliament, the girdlers to show their
said patent, and both they and the saddlers to set forth their reasons and
further to do and receive what shall then be ordained, and restoring to the
owners any saddlers' work concerning girdlers that may have been pre-
sented before them. By K. and C.

because the king has learned by frequent complaints that although the
power given to Thomas to receive men into the king's faith and peace in
Ireland and pardon them contains that it shall be done by the counsel and
advice of the chancellor and treasurer, yet Thomas has too lightly granted
charters of pardon to divers felons and trespassers without their assent,
whereby felons, trespassers and others are rendered more bold to commit
homicides and other crimes, whereat the king is much moved : order
to grant no charters of pardon for felonies and trespasses without the
consent, counsel and advice of the chancellor and treasurer of Ireland, nor
permit any sheriff or escheator to be made without the assent of the
chancellor and treasurer and of the community of the county in which he

Wythiford, which is held of William le Botiller; as, on it being found by
inquisition taken by John de Swynnerton, late escheator in that county,
that Alan son of Alan de Cherleton at his death held in his demesne as of
fee the hamlet of Haskercote in Salop in chief by grand serjeanty, as of the
crown, by the service of finding one footman with a bow and arrows in
the war of Wales at his own cost for forty days, that he held in service 20Z.
of yearly rent issuing from the said manors, the manor of Aston and one
moiety of the manor of Wythiford being held of the said earl and the
other moiety of the manor of Wythiford of William le Botiller of Wemme
by knight service, which the said Alan demised to Alan his father (yet
living) to hold for life, rendering the said 20/. yearly to Alan the son,
and that John son of Alan the son was his next heir and was then aged
fifteen years, the king ordered John de Swynnerton to take the said rent
into the king's hand so that he should answer at the Exchequer for the
arrears thereof from the time of the death of Alan the son and for the rent
thenceforth yearly until the heir should come of age ; and afterwards at
the suit of the earl, showing that the said hamlet was sometime held
of Roger de Bellem by a certain service, and the service came to the
king's hands by way of escheat, and bo the hamlet is held of the king
as of the estate of Roger and not of the crown of England, and the
king and his progenitors have never had anything in that wardship, and
praying the king to provide a remedy, the king ordered the late escheator
to make inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found that the hamlet
is not held of the king as of the crown, but by way of escheat, because
it was formerly held of Roger Bellem, then earl of all the county of
Salop, by the service aforesaid, of which services Roger died seised,
after whose death they descended with his other lands to Hugh as his son
and heir, which Hugh died without an heir, and after his death those
services and lands descended to Robert, as Hugh's brother and heir, who
died without an heir, after whose death the services and lands came into
the king's hand as his escheat, that Roger and his heirs never had any
estate in the hamlet except those services, that the late king had the
wardship of the hamlet by reason of the minority of Margery, daughter
and heir of Thomas fitz Aer, after Thomas's death, at which time Edmund,
then earl of Arundel, father of the present earl, had the wardship of the
manor of Aston Ayer and of one moiety of the manor of Wythiford by
reason of Margery's minority, because the said manor and moiety were
held of that earl by knight service, that the earl and his ancestors time
out of mind have held the wardship of the said manor and moiety after
the death of every tenant having an heir under age, and the king has
never had the wardship thereof by reason of the minority of any heir, and
that the said Alan son of Alan held the manor and moiety of the said earl,
and the other moiety of the manor of Withiford of William le Botiller of

the time when they went with Thomas de Langhurst, supplying the place
of Otto de Holond, supplying the place of Thomas de Holond, keeper of the
said islands, to the island of Gerneseye, to besiege the castle of Cornet there,
which had been taken and occupied by the king's enemies, and recovered
it from those enemies by the help of God, William was slain as a traitor
and an adherent of those enemies, by the common assent of the armed
men and others there present, yet many of them are indicted for William's
death, as if he had been at the king's allegiance, and Nicholaa and her
children are suing against them in the king's court in that island, where-
fore they have prayed the king to provide a remedy ; and in consideration
of their action in recovering the said castle, and because Thomas de
Langhurst has testified before the king and his council that William was

which (it was then said) Nicholas Lovel held of the king, and which
escheated to the king by reason of the felony of Nicholas for which he
was outlawed, to hold for John's life, and the king ordered the sheriffs to
deliver that rent to John ; and afterwards, on its being alleged by Simon
that the sheriffs, by colour of that order, took the said messuage into the
king's hand at the suit of the said John de Olneye, asserting that Nicholas
was seised thereof on the octaves of Martinmas in the 29th year of the
reign (on which day Nicholas was outlawed), and subsequently as of the
right of Isabel his wife, and delivered that messuage to John, the king
ordered the mayor of London and escheator there and the sheriffs to
make inquisition upon the matter in John's presence, and by divers
inquisitions taken thereupon it is found that Nicholas was not seised as of
Isabel's right of that messuage nor of any rent issuing therefrom on the

Richard, to whom the king lately committed for a certain time the keeping
of the priory of Stok Cursy, in the king's hand by reason of the war with
his adversaries of France, for a certain yearly ferm, has shown the king
that, because he sued to reunite to the priory certain rents and other
possessions whereof that ferm ought to be paid to the king, which had been
unjustly detained from the priory by the great and powerful of that country,
and took distraints for those rents from those who detained them, he is
indicted before James and his fellows, keepers of the peace and justices of
oyer and terminer in Somerset, for those distraints and other deeds as for
divers felonies and trespasses, and because he did not come before the
justices to answer upon that indictment, he is placed in exigents to be
outlawed, wherefore he has prayed the king in aid, and the king, considering
that his fermors ought not to be indicted or otherwise molested for such
distraints or for other things which they have lawfully done for the levying

To the burgomaster, echevins and consuls of the town of Brugges and

forfeit to the king 5 pockets of wool found not coketted or customed,
placed in a ship of Flanders by certain Flemings, in the River Humber, to
be taken secretly to parts beyond, together with the said ship, wherefore
William Hert, one (sic) of the said ship, procured the arrest of a ship of
Ealph de Utterby of Grymesby and of certain others his follows of the parts
of Grymesby at Lescluses and would not permit it to be dearrested until he
had offered security by the oath of John de Scardeburgh and John Tirwhit
either to take back that ship on or before Michaelmas last, or else to bring
back to the burgomaster and others letters of the king testifying that the
cokets of wool with the ship of Flanders were forfeited to the king, upon

brought back to England, was afterwards taken at sea by the king's enemies
when sailing towards Lescluses, whereby Kalph could not bring back the
king's said letters at the appointed term, yet John de Scardeburgh has been
compelled at William's suit to pay him lOZ. of the aforesaid sum because
Ralph did not observe the said term, although he shortly afterwards brought
the king's letters, and he fears that he may be compelled to pay the

Nethre Edberston, and two butts lying near the garden of John le Lard
from the date of these presents until the end of twenty two years next
following without paying any rent or doing any service to Thomas during

ratifies by this deed all the estate which John has in those tenements by
virtue of a judgment rendered against Thomas concerning them in the
king's court, to secure all his said term ; further, Thomas grants that if he
die during the term without an heir of his body, then all those lands shall
remain to John his heirs and assigns for ever, by virtue of this deed and of
a charter of quitclaim which Thomas has made, and if John be expelled,
impleaded or otherwise troubled concerning those tenements within that
term by Thomas, by John le White, or by any other in their name, or by
alienation made by Thomas to anyone, or if Thomas shall grant those
tenements or any part thereof to any other than John during the term,
then all those lands shall remain to John and his heirs as aforesaid, otherwise
after the term of twenty two years is completed all the lands shall revert to
Thomas or to the heirs of his body without claim or contradiction of John ;
and John grants that although he recovered the said lands at another time
against Thomas by judgment of the king's court, and this for the greater
security of his said term, and although Thomas has released to him all his
right and claim in those lands, and has bound himself to warranty therefor,
John grants that if he may hold the said lands in Edbreston without any
hindrance, alienation or plea by Thomas, John le Whyte or any other in
their name, as aforesaid, then the said judgment and deed of release shall
be void, so that the tenements shall revert to Thomas or to the heirs of his
body after the end of the term of twenty two years, so that he may enter
those lands and expel John therefrom, and if Thomas die during the term
without an heir of his body, or alienate the tenements, or impede John as
aforesaid, then the judgment and quitclaim shall remain in force, and
Thomas grants that if John die before the end of the twenty two years,
he may assign or bequeath those lands in his will until the end of that
term, and Thomas will warrant all the lands to John, his heirs and assigns,

that assize, pleaded before those justices at Newcastle upon Tyne, William
and Isabel alleged that one Robert Dcxrreyns was seised of that manor,
and died seised thereof, after whose death the manor descended to one
Robert, his son and heir, and Robert the son died without an heir of his
body, after whose death, the manor descended to Isabel as his sister and
heir, and because Robert Darreyns, at his death, was bound to the king in
a great sum of money for the time when he was sheriff of Northumberland
the manor was seised into the king's hand to hold until that debt should
be fully levied therefrom, and they further prayed the king's aid, saying
that the manor was in the king's hand and therefore the taking of the
assize ought not to proceed without the king's special order, upon which
pretext the justices delayed to proceed with that assize, and upon the
petition of John de Eure that the assize might be proceeded with, the king
ordered the justices to view the record and process of the assize, and if they
find it to be as aforesaid, then to proceed to take the assize, notwith-
standing the said allegation, but not to proceed to render judgment without
consultmg the king ; and now John has informed the king by another
petition presented before him in the present parliament that although the
assize has been taken by virtue of the said order, judgment still remains to
be rendered, wherefore he has again petitioned the king to order judgment
to be rendered : order, if this be so, to proceed to render judgment with all

as they could, until the next parliament ; yet for certain causes now shown
before the council it seems that if those articles take effect, it will be to the
greatest detriment of the said fair, wherefore the king, with the assent of
his council, in the presence of merchants as well of Great Y''armouth as of
the city of London and elsewhei'e using the said fair, has ordained certain
articles for the amelioration and increase of that fair, to last until the next
parliament, to wit that the fishermen, when they come to the fair with
herrings for sale, before they expose them for sale, shall await the end of
the tide on which they came and then shall sell the herrings publicly and
not secretly, without hindrance of their hostelers or others, that the fisher-
men may sell their herrings to their hostelers as may be agreed upon between
them, so that merchants of London, and others who have their houses in
Great Yarmouth in which they can hang and dry herrings, may freely buy
herrings from the fishermen without disturbance from the hostelers or
others, that every merchant shall have his portion of such herrings for
sale in accordance with the rate, that the sale shall be made between sunrise
and sunset, openly and not in secret, that no merchant shall buy fresh
iierrings to sell to others in the manner of a regrator, and that the said
statute shall in its other articles be observed : order to cause the above to
be proclaimed in the said fair and town, that it may be brought to the
notice of those resorting to the fair, and to be observed until the next
parliament. By K. and C.

To the bailiffs of Great Yarmouth. Whereas the ordinance touching

certain manors, lands, homages and services sometime of John de Eure,
knight, taken into the king's hand, and to deliver the issues thereof to
John de Euere, son and heir of the said John ; as the king ordered the
escheator to certify why he had taken into the king's hand the lands of
John the father, and the escheator returned that because it was found by
inquisition of office that John the father, at his death, held the manor of
Crekkelawe in his demesne as of fee of the late king in chief as of the
crown by knight service, together with other lands, homages and services,
John the son being then a minor and unmarried, and that after the death
of John the father, the late king, in the 19th year of his reign, granted to
Thomas de Gray the wardship of all the lands which belonged to John the
father, who held in chief, and were in the king's hand by reason of the
minority of the said son, to hold until that heir should come of age,
together with the marriage of the heir, and likewise because it was found
by the same inquisition that John the son entered the said manor, lands,
homages and services together with other manors and lands which belonged
to his father at his death, without process of the king's court, and without
doing homage to the king, the escheator took the said manor, lands,
homages and services into the king's hand ; and now John the son haa
petitioned the king to order his hand to be amoved from the premises, as
by inquisition taken by Simon de Grymesby, escheator of the late king
beyond Trent, in the 20fch year of that reign, it was found that John the
father at his death held no lands of the late king in chief in that bailiwick,
and for that cause the king ordered his hand to be amoved from the lands

taken out of the ship after its arrival in the port of London, if any, into
whose hands it came and how, to arrest the things taken away, and after
apportioning the loss to Saier and to the other merchants according to the
proportion of their merchandise laded in the said ship, pound for pound
and penny for penny, to cause Saier to have full restitution of what
pertains to him for the things whereof he was plundered, certifying the
king in chancery on Monday next of all their action in the matter ; as a
petition of Saier shown in chancery contains that he and divers merchants
laded the said ship at Lescluse with divers goods and merchandise to the
value of 1,000Z. and more whereof the price of Saier's own goods amounted
to 100^. and more, to be taken thence to the city of London and there
unladed ; and Saier sent letters containing the nature and quantity of those
goods and the receipt by the master of the ship, to Elizabeth his wife,
dwelling at London, which letters being taken to Elizabeth by the master,
though she craved delivery of the merchandise specified therein from the
master, yet because he, excusing himself, has asserted among other things
that when he was at sea with the ship, the merchandise was plundered
between Lescluse and London by certain pirates of Normandy without his
fault, and therefore he is not bound to answer therefor, Elizabeth has not
been able to obtain delivery thereof, wherefore the king ordered the master
to come before him in chancery on a certain day now past, to be examined
upon the premises, and he appearing on that day and being examined,
acknowledged that the remaining merchandise in the ship had been released
and saved by the taking of Saier's goods, wherefore prayer has been made
to the king to order what is right and in accordance with maritime law to
be done as well for the master's discharge as for Saier for the recovery of
his merchandise, and the business being subsequently brought before Guy
Bryan, admiral of the fleet towards the west, to whom the cognisance of
such accidents at sea towards those parts pertains, and other skilled persons
of the king's counsel charged thereupon by the king, after great deliberation,
it seemed right to them that Saier should have restitution of his things so
plundered, and that all the merchants having any merchandise in the ship
at the time of the plundering should contribute to this, pound for pound
and penny for penny, wherefore it was decided by the admiral that all the
merchandise now in the said ship, and the other things which have been
taken away since its arrival in London, should be arrested, and detained
until they had been appraised and satisfaction made to Saier as aforesaid,
and that diligent inquisition should be taken of Saier's goods so taken and
of the goods removed, so that due restitution might be made to him.

that John Gros, knight, has held a market at his minor of Worsted, near
the manor of Aylesham, on every Saturday, to the injury of the queen's
market of Aylesham, held on the same day, wherefore the king ordered
the sheriff to notify .John Gros to be in chancery on the morrow of the

under bailiff' of John Musard, had been summoned to answer before those
justices to the said abbot on a plea wherefore they took the abbot's cattle
and unjustly detained them, and John Musard, pleading before the justices,
acknowledged the said taking, and asserted that he held the hundred of
Kyftesgate for life of the king's demise, and the abbot held the manor of
Bokland of the king by the service of making suit at that hundred every
month, and claimed, as bailiff" of the hundred, that the taking was just, the
said suit being in arrear for three years before that taking ; and the abbot,
replying before the justices, affirmed that John Musard could not claim the
taking to be just because the abbot holds the manor in frank almoin
without doing any service therefor, without that that the king or his
progenitors were ever seised of the said suit, and offered to verify this ; and
John Musard alleged that he could not await that verification without the
king, craving the king's aid thereupon, and on that pretext the justices have
delayed to proceed in the said plea, and the abbot praying the king to order
that plea to be proceeded with, the king ordered the justices to view the
record and process held before them upon the premises, and if they found
that such process had been taken in that plea, then to proceed further in
the plea and cause full justice to be done to the parties, notwithstanding
the allegation or the aid so sought, so that they should not proceed to
render judgment without consulting the king, and now the abbot has

and praying the king to order his hand to be amoved from those lands
and to cause them to be restored to him, the king ordered the escheator to
make inquisition upon. the matter, by which it is found that John was
not outlawed for felony, but was outlawed for a trespass in that county by
the king's writ at the suit of William de Lughteburgh of Goverton, on
Monday after St.Katherine in the 28th year of the reign, and that outlawry
was returned by John Waleys then sheritf of Nottingham before the justices
of the Common Bench, that John Alewys had no lands, goods or chattels in
that county on the day of the said outlawry or before, and at the time of
the outlawry was out of England in the parts of Brittany, that those
tenements are the tenements of William de Staunton and he has an estate
therein for the life of John Alewys as testified by deeds thereof made to
him, dated at Goverton on INlonday after the Annunciation in the 27th year
of the reign, and that all the tenements aforesaid are held of the archbishop
of York by homage and fealty and service of IQd. yearly and by three

To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas, on learning
that the men of the liberties of Tyndale, Hextildesham and other liberties
in Northumberland had not hitherto paid the portion* falling to them of
the tenths and fifteenths, wool and other subsidies granted by the commons
of England at divers times, from the time when the king took, up the
government, because, upon search of the chancery rolls, it was not found
that any liberties or privileges were granted to the men of those liberties
whereby they ought to be quit of such tenths, fifteenths, wool and subsidies,
the king ordered the treasurer and barons to cause all such subsidies, etc.,
hitherto granted from the first year of the reign, and not paid, to be levied
of those men unless they should show cause whereby they ought to be
discharged of such payment, and now John, archbishop of York, lord
of the liberty of Hextildesham, has petitioned the king to provide a
remedy, because William la Zouch, the late archbishop, was at the point
of death at the time of the warning and all that county was in war, so
that the said men did not dare to leave those parts for fear of the Scots,
who had invaded the same, and by reason of that default it had been
determined that execution should be made against those men because they
did not come when warned, and the king, considering the premises and out
of affection for the archbishop, has granted that such execution shall cease
and that the said men shall be in the same state in which they were
before the warning, that the archbishop and those men shall be newly
warned to answer upon the premises, and after their reasons have been
heard, justice shall be done to them : order to supersede the further
execution of the said judgment, and to notify the archbishop and his men
of the liberty of Hextildesham to be in the exchequer on the quinzaine of

and not to intermeddle further therewith, delivering the issues thereof to
the prior or his attorney, as the king ordered the escheator to certify why
he had taken those lands into the king's hand, and the escheator returned
that he found by inquisition of office that the said prior, an alien, holds
in Welby of the gift of former kings of England, a messuage with a
certain chapel, one carucate of land and lOO.s. rent to find a chaplain at
Welby to celebrate for the souls of those kings and their heirs, and has
not found that chaplain for sixteen years and more, and that the said land
and rent had not yet been taken into the king's hand among the other
lands of the alien religious by reason of the war with those of France,
therefore he took the said land and rent into the king's hand, and it
appears by inspection of the chancery rolls that on 31 January in the
28th year of the reign the king committed the keeping of the said priory

to receive them by indenture and to deliver a third part or the value thereof
to those who arrest them, and the persons arrested to the sheriff, who
shall receive them and keep them in the gaol of Newcastle upon Tyne in
accordance with the law and custom of England, as the king is informed
that numbers of merchants and others have long bought wool and other
customable merchants in that county and neighbouring counties and in the
adjacent marches of Scotland, and taken them secretly to Berwick and
other parts in Scotland and thence to parts beyond, paying the custom of

merchandise from the said town and counties and marches to parts beyond

parts beyond the sea, and brought to England, to wit, 2s. of each cloth
in grain, 18*/. of every cloth mixed with grain, and 12'/. of every cloth
without grain, and afterwards because wool grown in l^^ngland, of which
the custom and subsidy would have been paid to the king if it were

quantity of cloth, and such cloth has been taken to parts beyond, it Avas
ordained by the king and his council that of every cloth so made in
England and taken out of the realm 21'/. should be paid by foreign

him the keeping of the said priory and of all the lands belonging thereto,
which had been taken into the king's hand among the possessions of the
alien religious of the power of France in England by reason of the war
of France, for a certain ferm yearly payable, and the king, on learning
from Firmin that Nicholas and William have occupied the premises, which
are parcel of the lands belonging to the priory, refusing to deliver them to
Firmin, whereby he could not answer for his whole ferm, ordered the sheriff
to notify Nicholas and William to be in chancery on the octaves of
Midsummer last to show cause why the said tenements should not be seized
into the king's hand and delivered to Firmin as parcel of his ferm, and

To William Fililode, escheator in the county of Northampton. Order to
amove the king's hand from the manor of Bernewell of the abbot of
Rameseye, and not to intermeddle further therewith, restoring the issues
thereof to the abbot, as the king ordered the escheator to certify why
he had taken that manor into the king's hand, and the escheator
. returned that he had so taken it because he had learned that Reynold,
formerly abbot of Rameseye, who held the manor in chief in frank almoin,
alienated it in fee to one Reynold le Moygne, in the time of Henry I,
rendering to the abbot lOO.s. yearly, without the king's licence, and because
he found by inquisition of office that William de Godemecestre, late
abbot of Rameseye, reacquired the manor to himself and his house in the
time of Henry III, without obtaining the king's licence; and because the
manor was taken into the king's hand for a like cause by William Trussel,
late escheator this side Trent, in the 14th year of the reign, and that cause
seemed insufficient and unjust when brought before the council in parlia-
ment at Westmmster and diligently examined, wherefore the king ordered
William Trussel to amove the king's hand from the manor and to restore
the issues thereof to the abbot, and now, the certificate of the escheator
having been examined before the king and his council, it seems to the
council that the cause for taking the manor is unjust and insufficient

that he had so taken it because Henry de Insula, late prior of Horslegh,
who held the manor in chief as pertaining to the priory of Horslegh, was
deposed from his oftice of prior, and so the priory was void, and by the
charter of Henry III, confirmed by the king, it appears that the custody

by certain men of Newcastle, the king caused that town with its liberties to
be taken into his hand, and afterwards by reason of their good behaviour
he restored that town to certain burgesses not implicated in those offences,
rendering the ancient ferm at the exchequer, and on 24 October in the 19th
year of the reign he ordered Robert de Tughale, then keeper of that town, to
deliver it to those burgesses, so that they should answer to the king for the

Westmin.ster. mulgation of exigents and outlawry against Henry Bakere, as Henry Bakere
of Esshetesford has shown the king that whereas another Henry Bakere
of that county was indicted before Roger de Mortuo Mari, earl of March,
and his fellows, justices of oyer and terminer in that county, by the name
of Henry Bakere only, for divers felonies and trespasses committed in that
county, and put in exigents in that county to be outlawed because he did
not come before the justices to answer for those trespasses, if by that
name outlawry should be published against that defendant, intolerable loss
would ensue to the petitioner, wherefore he has prayed the king to order
the outlawry to be superseded until he has proved that he is not the same
person that is indicted for those trespasses, which he is prepared to do, and
William Roger, Adam Wardelowe, Richard Wydegate and John Solas of
that county have mainperned in chancery to have the said Henry Bakere
of Esshetesford before the justices on the next day of their session in those
parts to prove by those who were of the mquisition upon the said indictment
or by others of that county whom the justices wish, and further to do and
receive what the king's court should determine. The king has ordered the
said justices to cause the said jurors or others to come before them to make
diligent enquiry upon the premises, and further to do what is in accordance
with the law and custom of the realm.

pronounce the same, to wit, the abbot of Peterborough, the abbot of Rameseyc
and others, for a matter whereof the recognisance did not pertain to the
Court Christian, and also ordered the exhumation of divers persons for the
same cause, upon which the bishop came before the king at Reading at
Martinmas, requesting the king's grace for the things in which he had
offended, to appoint those whom he pleased learned in the law of Holy
Church with others of the council, and to appoint a day on which he might
come before them to show by what authority he did what he did, so that after
those of the council had fully heard the matter they might make relation
to the king, and he would be at the king's grace in what it should please
him to ordain, saving the estate of Holy Church and of his person, as he
holds himself unworthy of that degree, whereupon the king received him to
his grace upon his good behaviour in time to come, but of the method of

To the sheriff of York. Order under pain of lOOZ. to desist from the
extortions, grievances and injuries inflicted by him and his ministers upon

with the form of the said charter and statutes, to cause these to be
proclaimed so that the said charter and statutes and this present order may
come to the knowledge of all the king's subjects, and to be firmly observed,
and to certify the king in chancery before the quinzaine of Hilary next of
what he does upon the premises, so that he may be able to answer thereupon
at his account at the exchequer at the complaint of individuals ; as the
said charter and divers other statutes contain that no sheriff or bailiff shall
hold his tourn except twice a year and that in the due and customary place,
to wit, once within a month after Easter and once within a month after
Michaelmas, and if any sheriff should do otherwise he should lose his tourn
for that time, that sheriffs and all who take indictments at their tourns
should take those indictments by indented roll, whereof one part should
remain with the indicters and the other part with him who would take the
inquisition thereupon, so that the indictments should not be concealed,
and that one of the indicters might be able to show one part of the
indenture to the justices, and that the sherifls should make tallies for all
those from whom they receive debts, and should show summonses of the
exchequer to all debtors craving view thereof ; and now the king has learned
from the people of that county that the sheriff' holds his tourns as often
and whenever he pleases without the customary places, takes indictments
and inquisitions in private places without nuiking any indenture, under

them licence to let the subsidy to ferm in gross or parcel as they please ;
also as the statute contains that all manner of cloths which are offered
for sale before they are sealed with the seal appointed shall be forfeit to
the king, the fermers shall be bound to deliver by indenture all cloth so
forfeited in the time of their ferm to the sheriffs of the counties where
it shall be found, who shall answer therefor to the king at their account,
so that the fermers may be discharged thereof ; and the king grants that
the fermers shall have a third part of such forfeiture for their travail ; and
if the fermers have occasion to sue any persons by way of account or
otherwise for anything relating to their ferm, the king will assist them,
and commissions shall be made to certain persons at the nomination of
the fermers to enquire in all the counties of England in what towns and
places cloth is worked and made, how many dye houses are in each town
and to whom they belong, so that the owners of those dye houses and the
keepers thereof may be charged, upon pain of forfeiture, not to allow any
cloth to pass out of the dye house or out of the care of the fuller until it

office from Michaelmas onward shall be newly made by advice of the council

said chapel near the mills without the castle, that it was in the hands of
the warden of the chapel for the time being, who took his profit thereof, as
in herbage and other issues, as pertaining to the chapel, until the 12th year
of the late king's reign, that it was enclosed in severalty at the time when
Henry de Faucomberge was sheriff' of that county and always previously,

taken into the king's hand the lands of the said John Rolf in Childre-
langeleye, and that keeper returned that no lands of John Rolf in the said
town had been so taken by him, but an enrolment in the king's court held
there on 6 March in the 31st year of the reign by Robert de Hadham, then
steward there, was made in the following form, a tenement which belonged
to John Janet was taken into the king's hand as a purchase of the
king's bondman, because Cristiana Reynel, the king's bondwoman of that
manor, recovered that tenement on the feast of St. Thomas the Apostle
in the 30th year of the reign before William de Thorp and his fellows,
justices of assize in the county of Hertford by verdict of an assize of mort
d'ancestor, in which tenements John Rolf asserts that he has a right, but
by what title the keeper did not know, and afterwards John Rolf petitioned
the king to order the tenements to be restored to him, as the said Cristiana
at the time of the recovery aforesaid was covered by John Proudfot, her
husband, who was named with her as a party in the king's writ for the said
assize, and after the recovery she and the said John Proudford [siv) enfeoffed
John Rold (.sic) of those tenements, and the said John Rolf continued in

tenements which formerly belonged to John Janet in Childrelangele by
verdict of an assize of novel disseisin taken before William de Thorp and

of John son of John de Wodhill, delivering the issues thereof to her, as the
king ordered William de Otteford, escheator in the county of Bedford,
to certify why he had taken those manors into the king's hand, and the
escheator returned that he so took them because it was found by inquisition
of office that John de Wodhill held those manors in chief, and that John
his son and heir, who married Eleanor, being then aged eighteen years and
in the king's wardship, by his charter enfeoffed Kobert del Hay thereof
without licence, by the injagination and collusion of John de Molyns,
Robert del Hay and others, and afterwards, when he had reached the age of
nineteen years and rather more again acknowledged that those manors were
the right of Robert del Hay, who at another time enfeoffed the said John
the son and Eleanor thereof in fee tail, he being a minor as before, and so
the king was deprived of all the issues and profits of the said manors for
three years and of two thirds of those manors for eleven years, to wit, from
the 20th year of the reign, when John the son died, and afterwards
Eleanor informed the king that the said manors were taken into the king's
hand with other lands which belonged to John de Wodhill by his death
and by reason of the minority of John the son, and the wardship thereof
was committed to John de Molyns to hold until the son should come of
age, as may appear by the chancery rolls, wherefore the king was not
deprived of the issues of the manors for the time of the minority of John
the son, and that the feoffments made by John the son to Robert and by
Robert to John the son and Eleanor were made when John the son was of
full age and by the king's licence, and upon this she showed letters patent
of the king dated 20 April in the 14th year of the reign, praying the king to
cause his hand to be amoved from the manors, and John Gaunt who sued
for the king said that feoffments other than those specified in the said
letters were made by John to Robert without licence, and pretended to
verify this by the country, and Eleanor said that no other feoffments than
those specified in the said letters were made by John to Robert at any time,
and oft'ered to verify this, wherefore the king appointed Peter de Salford,
Richard W^ydevill and John de Braundeston, clerk, to take an inquisition
upon the matter by the oath of lawful men of that county, in the presence
of Eleanor if she chose to attend or of her attorney, and the king by letters
patent committed the keeping of the manors to Theobald and John de
Bledelowe, to hold with the issues thereof from the time of their taking
so long as they should remain in the king's hand for the cause aforesaid,
so that they should answer for the issues thereof at the exchequer if they
ought to pertain to the king, and by the inquisition so taken it is found
that John son of John, being of full age, on 1 May in the 14th year of the
reign, granted the said manors with certain other tenements by charter to
Robert del Hay with the advowsons of churches, wards, marriages, reliefs,
escheats, liberties, warrens and all other appurtenances, and afterwards at

those manors were Robert's right, for which acknowledgment, fine and
agreement Robert granted those manors to John and Eleanor and rendered
them to them in the same court, to hold to themselves and the heirs of their
bodies, to wit, the manors of Wodhill and Langeford of the king and the
manor of Tuderle of the chief lords of the fee, by the services which pertain
to those manors, the king's licence being obtained beforehand both for the
feoffment and for the said fine, without that any other feoffment were made
of those manors before the levying of the fine between those parties, or any
other whatsoever without the king's licence, and it appears by inspection of
the chancery rolls that on 1 December in the 10th year of the reign the
king committed to John de Molyns the wardship of all the lands which
belonged to John de Wodhill and which were in the king's hand by his death
and by reason of the minority of John the son to hold until the said son
should come of age, together with the marriage of the said son, and on
24 April in the 14th year of the reign, John the son having proved his age,
the king took his homage for the lands which his father held in chief at his
death and rendered them to him, and by the king's said letters of licence it
appears that on 20 April in the said 14th year the king granted that John
the son might enfeoff" Robert of the manors of Wodhill and Langeford
and that Robert might give them to John and Eleanor to hold to themselves
and to the heirs of their bodies, as aforesaid. By C.

other progenitors of the king, sometime kings of England, to the nuns of
Marcigny for the celebration of divine service in their monastery, that
the prioress and nuns demised to the prior of Farlegh and the convent of

intermeddle further with the lands of Richard de Cramlyngton in Cramlyng-
ton, delivering the issues thereof to Richard, as the king ordered the escheator
to certify why he had taken those lands into the king's hand, and the
escheator returned that because it was found by inquisition of office that
the said Richard, brother and heir of John de Cramlyngton, who held
certain tenements in Cramlyngton in chief by knight service, alienated
those tenements in fee to John de Herlawe, without the king's licence, and
that John granted them to Richard and his wife, now deceased, and to the
heirs of their bodies, also without licence, he took those tenements into the
king's hand, and Richard afterwards asserted in chancery that he did homage
to the king for those tenements after his brother's death, and had them of
the king's livery, and so entered them and continued his estate therein
until he was amoved by the escheator, without that that he demised
himself at any time, and petitioned the king to order his hand to be
amoved, wherefore the king ordered the escheator to make inquisition upon
the matter, by which it is found that Richard who did homage to the king
after his brother's death and entered the premises, by process of the king's
court, alienated no lands in Cramlyngton or elsewhere in that county in
fee or otherwise to John de Herlawe or to any other from the time when he

patent appointed them, three or two of them (of whom Henry or William
should be one), to be justices to hear and determine the said misdeeds by
whomsoever perpetrated upon the bailitts of the said town or others as the
king has considered that the bailitt's upon whom such trespasses were
committed are the rivals of those who perpetrated them, and therefore the
intpiisitions must be arrayed and returned by the sherift' of Norfolk and the
coroners of the said town for matters to be determined at the king's suit,
and not by the bailiffs who are parties against the malefactors in that
behalf as well for the king as for themselves, it is said, of lawful men of the

escheator not to intermeddle further with that pasture, delivering the issues
thereof to the master [as in this Caleyular, 1330-1333, p. 407], and now
William Legat, the present master of the hospital, has petitioned the king
to cause the said plot of pasture to be delivered to him, as the present
escheator, by pretext of an inquisition of office taken by him, containing
that Hugh de Bolbek had held the same of Henry III by knight service
and had alienated it to the then master of the hospital without the king's
licence, has taken that plot into the king's hand, and because it was
found by inquisition taken at another time by John de Louthre that Ralph,
the former master, acquired the said plot of the said Hugh long before the
publication of the statute of tnortmain, and that the pasture was held of
John de Lancastre in frank almoin, the king ordered John de Louthre to

To the sheriff of Southampton. Order to sell the timber of a tenement
called 'le Wolleseld' in the city of Winchester, by the survey of Nicholas
Wodelok and John Fauconer, as may be most to the king's advantage, and
to cause the stones and tiles therefrom to be carried to ^Yincheste^ castle
for the works there, as the said tenement, which used to render 50s. yearly
in aid of the ferm of the county, is so weak and ruinous that no one has
been willing to occupy it for a long time, -so that it remains empty and the
buildings thereof threaten to fall, and some of them have fallen down
whereby no small damage has been caused to other buildings near it and
worse may be feared if a remedy be not quickly applied.

Westminster. Pycard, the king's butler, of 148 tuns and 88 sesters of wine, upon his
petition, as he lately caused a great quantity of wine to be lodged as well
for the king's passage over sea appointed in the 25th year of the reign, as
for the king's arrival in divers places by his orders, and that passage being
impeded and because the king did not go to the places where the wine was
so stored, Henry warned the king that unless the wine was sold or taken
to other places where the king might go, it would deteriorate and be totally
lost, notwithstanding which warning the king ordered him that the wine
should remain in the said places, and by long detention 143 tuns 88 sesters
of Gascon wine have gone bad and are of little or no value, yet the treasurer
and barons have charged him upon his account to satisfy the king for the
same, and the king has discharged him thereof. By K.
May 20. To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the
Westminster, demand made upon William Fifhide for queen's gold for the marriage of the
heir of Roger Norman, as William has shown the king that whereas he bought
the marriage of the said heir for the true value and more, to wit for lOOL,
and although no profit or emolument could accrue to him therefrom, the
treasurer and barons are exacting queen's gold from him by reason of that
purchase, and distraining him for that cause, and the business being debated
before the king and his council it seems to them that the wardships of the
lands of heirs who are minors in the king's wardship, and their marriages,
are the king's own chattels from which no profit can accrue to the buyer
beyond the price for which they are sold, and such wardships and marriages
in regard to the sale thereof ought not to be adjudged otherwise than the
sale of the king's goods and chattels, wherefore it is not just that queen's
gold should be demanded for such wardships and marriages, which are sold
as goods and chattels for their true price. By K. and C.
July 8. To William de Nessefeld, escheator in Cumberland. Order not to inter-

in Cardeu, delivering the issues thereof to him, as the king ordered the
escheator to certify Avhy he had taken the premises into the king's hand,
and the escheator returned that he had so taken them because it was found
by inquisition of office that John de Halghton, late bishop of Carlisle, who
held them in chief, alienated them in fee to John de Panetria, without the
king's licence, and John de Denton likewise held them without licence, and

the death of his father, and that all the said tenants have hitherto held those
tenements of the bishops of Carlisle, without that that they ever were in the
possession of John de Halghton m demesne, and praying the king to order
his hand to be amoved, the king ordered the escheator to take an inquisition
upon the matter, by which it is found that John de Halghton, late bishop
of Carlisle, was never in possession of the said messuage and land which
John de Denton now holds, and that John de Panetria did not acquire them
of the bishop but of John de Berinton the younger, to whom they descended
by hereditary right after the death of John de Berinton, his brother, who
acquired them of the said Henry to whom they descended as aforesaid, and
that all the tenants time out of mind have held those tenements of the
bishops of Carlisle, without that that they were ever in the possession of
John de Halghton in demesne.
To John de Bekynton, escheator in Dorset. Order to cause Edmund son
and heir of Reynold fitz Herberd to have seisin of a messuage, 100 acres of
land, 10 acres of meadow and -l.s. rent in Wolveton, delivering the issues
thereof to him from 2 June last ; as the king has learned by inquisition
taken by the escheator that Alice late the wife of Reynold fitz; Reynauld
held the premises for life of the inheritance of Edmund, lately a minor in
the king's wardship, and on 2 June last, Edmund's age being proved and
his homage taken for all the lands which his father held m chief at his
death, the king rendered those lands to him.
To Roger de Wolfreton, escheator in Norfolk. Order to amove the king's
hand from the manors of Bilneye and Bodeneye, if he finds that they
are a fee in Bilneye and Bodeneye contained in the Red Book at the
exchequer, and not to intermeddle further therewith, delivering up the
issues thereof, as the king ordered the escheator to certify why he had taken
those manors into the king's hand, and the escheator returned that he had
so taken them because it was found by inquisition of office that Richard
de Bellous held the manor of Bilneye in chief as of the honour of Dover
by the service of 5.s. yearly, and the manor of Bodeneye in chief, and he
alienated them and took back an estate thereof without obtaining the
king's licence, and by a certificate of the treasurer and barons of the
exchequer, sent into chancery, it is found that the said Red Book, which is
held for a record, contains under the title Xoinina milituni tenencinin de
honore de Ilaf/enet, thus : Petrus de Felerill, luutm feoduiti in liilneye et

king's court, with reversion to the said John son of Ralph, kinsman of
John, late a minor in the king's wardship, and that the said lands are held

To the justiciary of Ireland. Order to cause proclamation to be made
that all those who have castles, fortalices, lands or other places in or near
the marches of the king's Irish enemies, shall immediately go to those
castles etc. with all their household and there abide, or send men at arms,
archers and others by whom they may be sufficiently defended, with the
king's other lieges to defend those parts against the said enemies, and if
those lords shall not go thither on a certain day to be appointed by the
justiciary by the advice of John, archbishop of Dublin, the chancellor, the
treasurer and others of the council in Ireland, nor send men at arms and
archers, the justiciary shall cause the lands which they hold in other parts
of Ireland to be seized into the king's hand, and with the issues thereof
shall cause their castles and fortalices to be furnished and their lands to be
defended against invasion, and shall certify the king twice yearly of
what he does in the matter, as the king has learned that some lords
dwelling in Ireland leave desolate the castles and fortalices, which they
hold in the marches, whereby the king's lieges there are destroyed by his
enemies, and worse evils may be feared unless a remedy be speedily applied.

To the justiciary, chancellor and treasurer of Ireland. Whereas the
king is informed that some of his ministers who have heretofore held
commissions of the chancery and of the exchequer of Ireland for purifying
the green wax in divers parts of Ireland and to supervise the levying of his
debts, have received divers sums of the king's money under colour of
their commissions, with which they are chargeable by the words concerning
receipt inserted in their commissions, and have not yet accounted therefor,
and certain other ministers holding commissions only to supervise the
levying of the king's debts, have likewise received great sums of money
under colour of their comraissions, asserting that they are not chargeable
with the receipt of any sums by virtue of those commissions, and so retain
the same : order to take information upon the matter with the king's counsel
of those parts and if they find it to be so, then to arrest those to whom
such commissions have been made and who have received the king's moneys
and have not fully accounted therefor, and to detain them in prison until

allec^iance, upon pain of forfeiture, shall receive any such Irishman as a
canon, or institute or admit him to any benefice situate among the English,
but that all benefices in Ireland shall be conferred on English clerks or
others in the kmg's allegiance, so that the king and the said land may
sutler no harm by the reception and cherishing of his Irish enemies, as the
king has learned that divers losses have happened to him and his lieges of
Ireland because mere Irishmen, clerks and laymen, his enemies, have been
appointed as ministers and officers in cities, boroughs, towns, castles and
elsewhere, and to canonries and prebends in cathedral churches in the
king's demesne, and to other benefices among the English. [Jbul.]
To the justiciary of Ireland. Whereas the king has learned that many
deceits have heretofore been practised upon him and his people because the
rolls of the justices assigned by commission under the great seal of England
to hold pleas following the justiciary of Ireland have hitherto been out of
the custody of those justices, and divers judicial writs contrary to the law
have issued from those rolls without their testimony and knowledge, the
king's will and order is that all rolls of pleas held before the said justices,
together with the seal appointed for judicial writs and orders, shall remain
in the custody of the chief justice of those pleas, to be kept under his seal,
and that judicial writs and orders which ought to issue from those rolls shall
proceed under the testimony of the chief justice, who is bound to warrant
them, and not otherwise. Order therefore to cause this ordinance to be

Order to take inquisition what lands justiciaries and other ministers of
Ireland have heretofore acquired while in their offices, contrary to the
statute, and in what manner, and what they are worth yearly in all issues,

until further order, so that answer be made to the king for the issues
thereof at the exchequer in Dublin, certifying the king in the chancery of
England before Christmas next of what they do in the matter, as a statute
touching the state of Ireland issued in the time of the late king contains
that no justiciary of Ireland nor any other minister of the king shall
without the king's licence acquire lands within the bounds of their bailiwicks
while they are in those offices, and if any shall do the contrary, what has
been so acquired shall be and remain forfeit to the king, saving to the chief
lords of the fees the services due to them, and now' the king has learned
that several justiciaries and other ministers of that land have acquired
divers lands in their bailiwicks contrary to the said statute. By K.

to Isabel late the wife of Henry de Swynhowe a moiety of a messuage and
12 acres of land and a fourth part of a mill in Houwyk, together with any
issues and profits received therefrom ; as the king ordered the escheator to
certify why he had taken the premises into the king's hand and the value
thereof, and the escheator returned that he had so taken them because he
had found by inquisition of ofltice that Henry at his death held the said
moiety and fourth part in chief by knight service by reason of the fees
which belonged to John Mautalent, late an adherent of the Scots, enemies
of the late king, being in the king's hand by reason of John's forfeiture, that
Isabel entered those tenements after Henry's death without process of the
king's court and without doing the services due to the king, and that the
said tenements are worth 30.s. yearly in all issues, and afterwards at the suit
of Isabel showing that Henry did not at his death hold those tenements in
chief by knight service, but that he and Isabel at his death held them jointly
as of Isabel's right and inheritance, that she continued her possession after
his death until the tenements were taken into the king's hand, and that they
were held of John by fealty and by the service of paying half a pound of
pepper yearly for all service, wherefore the king ordered the escheator to take
an inquisition upon the matter, by which it is found that Henry and Isabel
held the said moiety and fourth part jointly at Henry's death as of Isabel's
inheritance, that she continued her possession thereof after Henry's death
until they were taken into the king's hand, and that they are held of the
king by reason of John's forfeiture, by fealty and by the service of paying
half a pound of pepper yearly for all service and not by knight service,
whereupon Isabel has prayed the king to provide a reiliedy.

ministers of Ireland who are indicted for felonies, and to cause their
commissions to be revoked and other fit persons to be placed in those offices

than they are worth, to notify the tenants of those lands by the king's writs
to be before the justiciary on a certain day and at a certain place to show
cause why they should not answer for the true value, and further to do
what is right and for the king's advantage, as the king has learned that
divers lands in Ireland, which are not extended at their true value, are
by favourable extents granted for life and in fee to divers men for a less
value than they are worth. [Ibid.]
To the justiciary, chancellor and treasurer of Ireland. The community
of Ireland has shown the king that whereas the people of that land have
to pursue plaints for injuries before the justices appointed for pleas
following the justiciary of Ireland, and when those justices are in distant
parts with the justiciary of Ireland riding to war, as they are bound to be in
time of war, they cannot and dare not sue, and so complainants abandon
their actions and suits, trespasses and crimes remain unpunished, and fines,
redemptions and forfeited issues which pertain to the king of such suits and
of the punishment of malefactors are totally lost, whereby both the king and
his people have incurred great damage, the people have petitioned the king
to ordain that at the times when the justiciary is at war in Ireland the
justices may hold sessions in a set place where all may have safe access :

Rodibank, ships of the marshalsea of Leynester laden with the merchandise

the sheriffs of Waterford and Tipperary were ordered to cause twentyfour
lawful men, as well knights as others, to come before him who supplied the
justiciary's place at Clonmell on a certain day now past to take an inquisition

the time of the conquest of Ireland and the foundation of the city of
Waterford all ships great and small and boats also, of whatever land they
might be, coming between Rodibank and Rodowan in the entry of the port
of W^aterford, used to come to the said city to lade and unlade, and there

ships and l)oats of the marshalsea of Leynester on their own merchandise
only excepted, until at the crafty suggestion of the burgesses of Rosponte
the king granted that ships and boats in the said port might lade and imlade
at that town, that the said grant is too damaging and prejudicial to the
citizens of the said city, and contrary to the liberties granted to the city
by the king and his progenitors in time past, and if the burgesses of the
said town obtained such a traffic of ships and boats the citizens would not
be able to render their yearly ferm of J 00 marks to the king nor to main-
tain the city for his use, but must needs leave the city empty unless all
ships and boats came to lade and unlade there and rendered the customs
due as in times past, that the citizens have no aid to render their ferm
except what they receive from the coming of such ships and boats, and
that by reason of the grant to the said burgesses, to wit, for three years
then past, the king had suffered damage to the value of 20/. and the
citizens to the value of 40Z. and more ; and because the court wished to
ascertain whether the captain and burgesses of Rosponte had anything to

them to be before him who supplied the justiciary's place on a certain day

30 acres of land of the said Richard, a messuage and one virgate of land of
John Jones, a messuage and one virgate of land of the said Henry, and a

Wodhull, who held those tenements in chief, demised them severally by
divers deeds to the said John Brokhole, Richard, John Jones, Henry and
William for her life without obtaining the king's licence, and now Eleanor
has ixiformed the king that the said tenements, which were in the hands of
her bondmen before the time of the last pestilence, came into her hands by
their death, and for lack of tenants willing to receive them remained
uncultivated for a great while, and the buildings then existing thereon
became ruinous, whereby she was able to receive small benefit therefrom
while they were in her own hand, and for that cause she demised them to
John, Richard, John, Henry and William for a certain ferm to be yearly
rendered for term of her life, that so she might have her profit thereof,
wherefore she has prayed the king to provide a remedy for her and for the
said fermors, and the king has considered that she committed no default in
the demise of those tenements to the fermors, nor did they in receiving
them in the form aforesaid. By the guardian and C.

him into his house, detaining him there all night, and on the morrow
delivered the writ to Thomas de Asshewell, endorsed with certain names
received for the bishop's attorneys to be returned into chancery under his
seal ; wherefore the said Thomas de Lyllingston, being asked if he had
received and endorsed that writ in the said form, and whether the bishop
had been present at the receipt of the attorneys or no, said that he received
the writ in the said form and caused it to be endorsed with the names of the
attorneys, and the bishop was not then present, and being then asked who
made the attorneys, said that the bishop's proctor did, and being asked why
he did not endorse that writ under the name of the proctor said that the
writ did not require that but the bishop's attorneys ; and because Thomas
de Lyllingston acknowledged that the bishop was not present at the time
of the receipt of the attorneys, and that he caused the writ to be endorsed
under the names of attorneys who were not made by the bishop, it seemed
to the court that the deceit in the matter was committed by Thomas de
Lyllingston and not by Thomas de Asshewell, and that the latter is innocent,
wherefore it is decided that Thomas de Lyllingston shall be committed
to prison for that fraud in accordance with the statute, and that Thomas
de Asshewell, who had been committed to the Flete prison for that cause,
shall be released; and the marshal of the king's household was ordered
to receive Thomas de Lyllingston and keep him safely in the Marshalsea
prison.

Whereas, at the suit of Hugh de Wesenham, showing that Agnes his
wife, sister of Bernard son of John de Bruys of Conyngton, tenant in chief,
was Bernard's sole heir and of full age, on proof of her age the king took
Hugh's fealty for all the lands which Bernard held in chief at his death
and ordered them to be delivered to Hugh and Agnes, and afterwards
because it was found by inquisitions taken after John's death that Agnes,
Joan whom Nicholas Grene married, Elizabeth and Ellen were John's
daughters and next heirs apparent, being then under age, Margaret, John's
wife, then being pregnant of the said 13ernard, no mention being made of

Bernard nor that Agnes was his sister and sole heir, except in the writ for
proof of Agnes's age, by which it appeared that the king was deceived in
taking Hugh's fealty and delivering the lands, the king caused those lands
to be taken again into his hands ; and by another inquisition, taken by
William Fililode the escheator, it was found that Bernard was son and heir
of John de Bruys and died within a year from his birth, that Agnes and
Joan were his sisters and next heirs and of full age, and that Elizabeth
and Ellen, sisters of Agnes and Joan, took the habit of religion in the
priory of Bolyngton, wherefore Nicholas and Joan petitioned the king to
cause the said lands to be divided into two parts and the purparty falling
to Joan to be delivered to her ; and the king ordered the sheriff of Rutland,
by writ dated 18 December in the 32nd year of the reign, to notify Hugh
de Wesenham and Agnes his wife, sister of Bernard, to be in chancery
on the octaves of Hilary following, to show cause why the lands which
belonged to Bernard should not be divided into two parts and one moiety
delivered to Nicholas Grene and Joan his wife, daughter and heir of the
said John, as Joan's purparty, and further to do and receive what the king's
court should determine ; and the sheriff returned that he notified Hugh
and Agnes as aforesaid by John Davy and John Taillour, on which day
Hugh and Agnes appeared by John de Shipdham, their attorney, and
Nicholas and Joan by Thomas de Tholewall, attorney of Nicholas and
guardian of Joan, and Nicholas and Joan craved that a moiety of the said
lands should be delivered to them ; and Hugh and Agnes said that the
king by letters patent granted to John de Grey of Riffyn the wardship
of all the lands which belonged to John de Bruys, tenant in chief, in the
king's hand by reason of the minority of the heir, to hold until the heir
should come of age, together with his marriage, which lands so granted
were the same as those whereof Nicholas and Joan craved a moiety, and
afterwards the king by other letters patent, reciting his said grant, granted
that although the heir died a minor, whereby the inheritance descended to
his sisters, then under age, John de Grey should have the wardship thereof
until the said sisters came of age together with their marriage, and if any
of them should die before she came of age and should be by him married,
her heir being a minor, he should have the wardship and marriage of that
heir until of age, and they showed the letters patent of the king dated at
Westminster on 20 October in the 21st year of the reign {text follous], and
said that John de Grey of Ruflyn by his deed granted the said wardship
and the marriage of the heirs to John de Verdon 'le fitz,' to hold until the
heirs should come of age, and he granted all his estate in the said wardship
and marriage to Master Simon de Islep, who granted the same to John de
Wesenham, and they presented the deeds thereupon, and said that the king
demised all manner of profit which might come to him from the wardship
and marriage, and that, Bernard being dead, and Joan, Elizabeth and
Ellen, sisters and coheirs with Agnes, having professed in the habit of
religion, and Agnes having proved her age before Guy de Seintcler, then
escheator in the county of Huntingdon in the presence of the said John de
Wesenham her guardian, Hugh had done fealty for all the said lands as for
all the inheritance of Bernard descending to Agnes as his sister and sole heir,
and so the whole inheritance was delivered to Hugh and Agnes by due
process in chancery, and remained in possession until, at the suggestion
of Nicholas, those lands wei'e seized into the king's hand without due
process, Hugh and Agnes not being warned or called upon to answer
touching their freehold, wherefore they craved that those lands should be
restored to them and they would answer for them to Nicholas and Joan
at the common law ; and they further said that on the octaves of Trinity
33 EDWARD III. 669

last Nicholas and Joan brought a like writ against them in chancery, and
the process thereupon was continued until the quinzaine of Midsummer
following, on which day Hugh and Agnes came and Nicholas and Joan
did not appear when solemnly vouched and so the writ was not pursued,
whereby restitution of the said lands ought to have been made to Hugh
and Agnes, and this was not done, wherefore they do not understand
that before restitution made they ought to answer for their freehold ; and
Nicholas and Joan said that by the records and offices in chancery and by
the writ whereby Hugh and Agnes were warned, it is probably shown that
the king was deceived in taking Hugh's fealty and in the delivery of the
lands to him and to Agnes as Bernard's sole heir, and therefore the king
caused those lands to be seized into his hand, and they craved that Hugh
and Agnes might answer, wherefore Hugh and Agnes were told to answer
further, saving to them the claims and exceptions proposed above ; where-
upon Hugh and Agnes protesting that they would not recede from their
exceptions in regard to the jurisdiction of the court and restitution, said
that Nicholas and Joan ought not to answer, because at the age of eleven
Joan assumed the habit of religion as a nun in the priory of Nunneton
which is a cell of the house of Fontevrault in Normandy, the house and
priory being immediately subject to the apostolic see and exempt from all
ordinary jurisdiction, so that there is no ordinary between the pope and the
abbess, the rule of which order both in the chief laouse and in the said priory
is such that, if a woman wears the habit in the house for a year after com-
pleting the age of twelve years, she is professed in that order, and they said
that Joan took the habit in the said priory in the eleventh year of her age,
and stayed in the house during her twelfth, thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth
and sixteenth years and longer, and therefore she is professed in that order
by its rule ; and Nicholas and Joan, not acknowledging that the house of
Fontevrault is so exempt, or that the priory of Nuneton is a cell of that
house, or that Joan took the habit or remained there as alleged, said that
they at another time before the king brought a writ against one Robert
Baldewyn because by force and arms he took goods and chattels of Joan
found at Haldenby to the value of 40^., upon which writ process was con-
tinued until the quinzaine of Hilary in the 32nd year of the reign, on which
day Robert appeared before the king and objected that Nicholas and Joan
ought not to be answered because Joan had taken the habit of religion in
the priory of Nuneton, and was professed at the time when she and Nicholas
said the trespass had been committed against her, and pretended to verify
this, to which they replied that Joan never was so professed, wherefore the
bishop of Coventry and Lichfield was ordered to make inquisition upon the
matter and to inform the king thereupon on the quinzaine of Easter
following, on which day Nicholas and Joan came before the king, and the
bishop certified that he had found by inquisition that Joan was not
professed in the said priory on Monday before Midsummer in the 31st year
of the reign or eve^ before, wherefore it was decided she and Nicholas
should recover damages against Robert, and upon this they proffered the
tenor of that record sent into chancery [Coram Rer/e, Hilary term,
32 Edward III, roll 89 [scxafit'siino riccnimo nnno] : text folloivs), containing
the plaint of Nicholas and Joan by Simon de Staverne, attorney for
Nicholas and guardian of Joan, that on the said Monday Robert had taken
by force and arms a casket, gold rings, gold clasps and other jewels of Joan
to the value of 201. found at Haldenby, and the certificate of the bishop of
Coventry and Lichfield that Joan was not professed in the priory of
Nenneton on the said Monday or on any other day, wherefore it was
decided that she and Nicholas should recover against Robert their damages,
taxed at 20^. and that Robert should be taken,

wherefore Nicholas and Joan did not understand that Hugh and Agnes
ought to allege the inability of Joan by reason of such profession, contrary
to the bishop's certificate ; and Hugh and Agnes said that by the record
shown by Nicholas and Joan it appears that after the bishop was ordered
to certify a day was given to the parties, in which case the cause should
have been put without a day, that on the day the certificate was returned
Eobert Baldewyn did not come, and notwithstanding this judgment was
rendered against him in his absence without reattachment or other process
sued against him, wherefore that judgment is void, that the certificate was
made in the negative and between persons foreign to Hugh and Agnes, who
were not called to prove profession before the bishop, whereby they could be
made parties to object to that proof, that the words of the certificate, that
Joan was not professed, are not only words of assertion, but are from the
relation of others, that the certificate was made by one who had no
jurisdiction over the priory as the nuns of the order are exempt from the
jurisdiction of the bishop, as he has certified in chancery, wherefore Hugh
and Agnes do not understand why they should be excluded from their proof
of Joan's profession by pretext of an erroneous judgment to which they were
not parties, especially as the profession is alleged in the person of Joan for the
present time which is in nowise repugnant to the certificate supposing that
she was not professed before that date, wherefore since they propose to
prove the profession of Joan, and she and Nicholas refuse proof, they do not
understand that they ought to answer them in the premises ; and Nicholas
and Joan, protesting as before that they did not acknowledge that the
house of Fontevrault and the priory are exempt as aforesaid, or that Joan
had taken the habit of religion or stayed in the priory in that order for
the time alleged, said that because the bishop formerly certified that Joan
was never professed, they do not understand that Hugh and Agnes ought
to be admitted to prove that profession unless they could show that it
took place subsequently ; and Hugh and Agnes said as before that the
certificate was not contrary to their proof, and they were strangers to the
record proceeding from an erroneous judgment, wherefore they were not
lawfully bound to show that the profession in Joan's person was for
the present, but they were ready to prove it, which proof Nicholas and
Joan refused, and they did not understand that they should answer further;
and after deliberation by the justices and other of the king's council,
because Hugh and Agnes said nothing to avoid the said record or to exclude
Nicholas and Joan from their action in the matter, it was decided that
Nicholas and Joan should have execution for the division of the lands
between the parties and the livery to each of the purparty falling to them.

Subsequent to recommendations of Committees of the House of
Commons in 1800 and 1836, the Master of the Roils, in 1865, stated to
the Lords of the Treasury that althoucrh " the Records, State l'aj)ers,
" and Documents in his ciiarge constitute the most complete and
" perfect series of their kind in the civilized world," and although
" they are of the greatest value in a historical and constitutional point
" of view, yet they are comparatively useless to the pul^lic from the
" want of proper Calendars and Indexes." Whereu{)on their Lord-
ships assented to the necessity of having Calendars prepared, and
empowered the Master of the Rolls to take such steps as might be
necessary for tliis purpose.

by the Rev. Joseph Stephenson, M.A., Vicar of Leighton
Buzzard. 1858.
This Chronicle traces the history of the monastery from its foundation by King Ina of

This is a metrical translation of a Latin Proie Otironicle, written in the first half of the 16th

In the first two volumes is a History of England, from the deatli of Henry III. to the death
of Henry V., by Thomas Walsingiiam. Precentor of St. Albans.
In the 3rd volume is a Chronicle of English History, attributed to William Rishanger,

Oxford. 1863.
The Chronicle of Evesham illustrates the history of that important monastery from 690

life of a great abbey. Interspersed are many notices of general, personal, and local history.

Edited by the Rev. William Stubbs, M.A., Vicar of Navestock,
Essex, and Lambeth Librarian. 1864-1865.
The authorship of the Clironicle in Vol. I., hitherto ascribed to Geoffrey Vinesauf, is now
more correctly ascribed to Richard, Canon of the Holj- Trinity of London.
The letters in Vol. II. , written between 118 7 and 1199. had their origin in a dispute which arose
from the attempts of Baldwin and liubert, archbishops of Cantsrbury, to found a college of
secular canons, a project which gave great umbrage to the monks of Canterbury.

by the Rev. Joseph Rawson Lumby, D.D., Norrisian Professor of
Divinity, Vicar of St. Edward's, Fellow of St. Catharine's College,
and late Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. 1865-1886.
This chronicle begins with the Creation, and is tirouL'lit down to the rcis^n of Kdward III.
The two English translations, which are printed with the original I^atin, afford interesting
illustrations of the gradual cliange of our language, for one was made in the fourteenth century,
the other in the fifteenth.
42. Le Livere de Reis de Brittanie e Le Livere de Reis de
Engletere. Edited by the Rev. John Glover, M.A., Vicar of

tant Keeper of Manuscripts, and Egerton Librarian, British

45. Liber Monasterii de Hyda : a Chronicle and Chartulary of
Hyde Abbey, Winchester, 455-1023. Edited by Edward
Edwards. 1866.
The " Book of Hyde " is a compilation from much earlier sources, wliicli are usually indi-
cated with considerable care and precision. In many cases, however, tlie Hyde Chronicler
appears to correct, to qualify, or to amplify tlie statements wliicli, in sxibstance, he adopts.
There is to be found, in the " Book of Hyde," much hiforniation relating to the reign of King
Alfred which is not known to exist elsewhere. The volume contains .some curious specimens
of Anglo-Saxon and mediaeval English.
46. Chronicon Scotorum. A Chronicle of Irish Affairs, from the
earliest times to 1135 ; and Supple jient, containing the events
from 1141 to 1150. Edited, tvith Translation, by William Maun-

47. The Chronicle of Pierre de Langtoft in French Verse, from
THE EARLIEST PERIOD TO THE DEATH OF EdWARD I. Vols. I. and
II. Edited by Thomas Wright, M.A. 1866-1868.
It is probable that Pierre de Langtoft was a canon of Bridlington, in Yorksliire and lived
in the reign of Edward I., and during a portion of the reign of Edward 11. Ihis chronicle is
divided into tliree parts ; in the first, is an abriiigement of Geoffrey of Jlonmouth's " Historia
Britouum " ; in the second, a liistory of tlie Anglo-Saxon and Norman kings, to the death of
Henry III. ; in the third, a history of the reign of Edward I. The language is a specimen of
the French of Yorkshire.

by the Rev. Williajt Stubbs, M.A., Reorius Professor of Modern
History and Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. 1868-1871.
The earlier portion, extending from 732 to 1148, appears to be a copy of a compilation
made mNorthumbria about llGl, to wliich Hoveden added little. From 1148 to 1169— a very
valuable portion of tliis work— the matter is derived from another source, to which Hoveden
appears to have supplied little. From 1170 to 1192 is the portion which corresponds to some
extent with the Chronicle known under the name of Benedict of Peterborough (:sc No. 49>
From 1192 to 1201 may be said to be wholly Hoveden's worK.

This work forms a comprehensive PalaBographic Series for
Ireland. It furnishes characteristic specimens of the documents
which have come down from each of the classes which, in past
ages, formed principal elements in the population of Ireland, or
exercised an infhience in her afFnirs. A\'ith tliese reproductions
are comhincd fac-similes of writings connected witli eminent per-
sonages or transactions of importance in the annals of the country
to the early part of the eighteentli century.
The specimens have been reproduced as nearly as possible in
accordance with tlie originals, in dimensions, colouring, and general
appearance. Characteristic examples of styles of writing and cali-
gi'aphic ornamentation are. as far as practicable, associated with
subjects of liistoric and linguistic interest. Descriptions of the
various manuscripts are given by the Editor in the Introduction.
The contents of the specimens are fully elucidated and pi-inted in
the original languages, opposite to the Fac-similes — line for line —
without contractions — thus facilitating reference and aiding effec-
tively those interested in palatograph ic studies.
In the work are also printed in full, for the first time, many
original and importtmt historical documents.
Part I. commences with the earliest Irish MSS. extant.
Part n. From the. Twelfth Century to 1299.
