 government of the realm, and has granted and wills that the government of

 reason all the magnates have done homage. We proclaim and publish the 
 peace of our said lord Sir Edward the son, and command and prohibit 
 firmly on his behalf to one and all, under pain and peril of disinheritance 
 and of loss of life and limb, that no one infringe the peace of our said lord 
 the king, for he is and will be ready to do right to one and all of the said 
 realm in all mattei'S and against all person.s, as well to small men as to great. 
 And if any one have anything to demand from another, let him demand it 
 by way of action [of law], without using force or other violence.'

 the morrow of the Purification, in the 10th year of the late king's reign, 
 without collusion between the abbot and them, as appears by the record and 
 process of the suit seen and examined before the king and his council in 
 parliament, and abbot Thomas was put in seisin of the tenements by virtue 
 of the above consideration by the late king's writ of judgment, and long 
 continued his seisin thereof, and Master John Walewayn, the late king's 
 escheator this side Trent, asserting that Gervase and Joan adhered to the 
 Scots before the suing out of the said writ, disseised abbot Thomas of the 
 tenements by order of Hugh le Despenser, who entered them after the 
 disseisin and occupied them all his life by his power, and they are now in 
 the king's hands by his forfeiture ; wherefore the present abbot has prayed 
 the king by his petition before the king and his council to provide a 
 remedy; the king, wishing to be certified concerning the premises, 
 appointed Henry de Fenton, John Daubeneye, and John de Crosholm, the 
 younger, to make inquisition by the oath of men of the county of 
 Lincoln in the presence of William Trussebut, who mainperned before the 
 council to make suit for the king and his right in this behalf ; and it is

 tenements by virtue of that judgment for nine weeks and more, and that

 To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. The burgesses of Oxford 
 have shewD the king, by petition in parliament, that whereas the late king — at 
 the prosecution of the said burgesses by petition in parliament [6569] at West- 
 minster, in the 17th year of his reign, suggesting that whereas they, by the 
 charters of the king's progenitors, hold at fee-farm the town of Oxford with 
 all liberties that the city of London has, and that emends of the breach of 
 the assize of bread and ale in the town and suburbs have always been 
 annexed and assigned in aid of the said ferm from time out of mind, until 
 Edward I., about the 20th year of his reign, caused the assize to be seized 
 into his hands, at the procurement of the chancellor and scholars of the 
 university and of the sheriff of the county of Oxford, without the burgesses 
 being called in judgment, since which time Edward I. and Edward II. 
 received the profit of the assize, and that although the assize was granted to 
 others at a rent of 100«. yearly to the exchequer from the time of its being 
 taken into the said king's hands, nevertheless the burgesses were charged 
 with the whole ferm of the town at the exchequer from the time of tiie 
 taking of the assize into the said king's hands as if the assize had been in 
 their hands, — ordered the treasurer and barons of the exchequer to search 
 the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer concerning the premises, and to 
 certify him of the time, manner, and cause of the assize being taken into 
 the hands of Edward I., and they certified that Henry III. granted and 
 ordered by his charter that the bakers and brewers of Oxford should, on their 
 second trespass against the assize of bread and ale, lose the bread and ale 
 made contrary to the assize, and that the bread and ale should be forfeited 
 to the king, and that Edward I., upon being given to understand that, after 
 many trespasses had been made by the bakers and brewers of the town and 
 left unpunished, the mayor and bailiffs had not made suflScient answer for 
 the issues of the aforesaid bread and ale thus forfeited to Henry III. and to 
 him, whereby the trespassers assumed greater boldness in offending, pro- 
 vided by his council that the constable of Oxford castle should receive all 
 issues from the forfeiture of the aforesaid bread and ale, and should be 
 charged therewith, and should answer therefor at the exchequer, and there- 
 upon ordered the keeper of the castle to receive and answer for all such 
 issues, and that they found nothing else in the exchequer concerning the 
 assize aforesaid; wherefore the burgesses have besought the king to cause 
 the said 100s. wherewith they are charged yearly to be allowed to 
 them, and that they may be discharged thereof; the king therefore orders 
 the treasurer and barons to have advisement by the inspection of the rolls 
 and memoranda of the exchequer concerning the time, manner, and cause of 
 the assize being iaken into the hands of Edward I., and whether the 
 burgesses had the assize in aid of the ferm of the town or not, and if so, by 
 whose grant, and how, and from what time, and how much the assize 
 used to be worth to them yearly, and how much is now answered to the 
 king therefor, and if they find that the burgesses had the emends of the 
 assize in aid of their ferm, and that answer is made to the king for the said 
 100*. yearly for the assize, they are then to cause due allowance thereof to be 
 made to the burgesses according to their discretion. By pet. of C. [12938.]

 To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. The executors of the

 goods and chattels of the deceased by delivery from the ordinary of that {sic) 
 place, to wit the corn in the barns, the beasts, and divers other things in 
 his manors, for the execution of his will, John de Hampton, late sheriff of 
 Gloucester, John Sturmy, and others took the said goods and chattels into 
 the late king's hands by his order, and detained them from the executors 
 until James de Broghton, who afterwards had the custody of the castle and 
 lordship of Bercleye by the late king's commission, occupied and sold the 
 said goods and chattels, and levied the money thence arising for the late 
 king's use, and detained the money in his possession, so that the executors 
 could not have free administration thereof as they ought to have; wherefore 
 they have besought the king to provide a remedy : the king therefore orders 
 the treasurer and barons to examine the account of the said James for the 
 time when he had the custody of the castle and lordship, and if they find 
 that he accounted for the goods and chattels aforesaid and paid the money 
 thence arising to the late king, to cause the executors to have allowance for

 James has not accounted for the goods and chattels, to cause him to come

 by the pope, having been hindered for a long time from receiving his tem- 
 poralities by reason of certain impeachments that Master Robert de Baldok 
 and other rivals made against him after he had offered his fealty to the late 
 king for the temporalities, during which time the late king received the issues 
 and profits of the temporalities in full, and the bishop made a recognisance 
 to him for 1 0,000/. payable at pleasure in order to obtain the temporalities, 
 for which 10,000/. the late king willed that he would be satisfied for 2,000/.

 then gi-owing in the lands of the bishopric and for divers other things, of 
 which sum a certain part has been paid by the bishop and a certain part 
 remains to be paid, and the bishops of London and Hereford, who were

 in no other way, and that John de Ardern died more than six years ago, 
 and that the tenements were taken into the said king's hands by reason

 himself from the said king for anything that might happen, and granted 
 that, if he contravened any of the things contained in the said writing, the 
 late king might take all his lands into his hands and execute the other things 
 contained in the writing ; and although the late king frequently ordered 
 Hugh to come to him on certain days and places to obey his orders and 
 pleasure concerning the premises, Hugh did not come, breaking the obliga-

 Gloucester to go in person to Hugh's manor of Thornbur[y], and to 
 summon Hugh to be before the king at Gloucester on Friday before 
 St. Ambrose, to wit 3 April, in the 14th year of the king's reign, to show 
 cause why the manor should not be taken into the king's hands with all 
 his other lands, according to the form of the deed aforesaid, and why the 
 other things contained in tlie deed should not be put into execution, and to 
 do and receive further what should be considered by the king and his 
 council; at which day the sheriff returned to the late king that he had 
 been to the said manor, and had caused Hugh to be summoned as aforesaid 
 by William de Westbrok of Thornbur[y] and William de Wetawere of the 
 same ; at which day Hugh, being many times called, did not come ; where- 
 fore, the process in the matter beiug continued until Wednesday following, 
 it was considered by the late king's council that all Hugh's lands, goods, 
 and chattels should be taken into bis hands, according to the form of the 
 said deed, and the late king caused them to be taken and kept in his hands 
 by virtue of the process and consideration aforesaid, and ordered that 
 answer should be made to him for the issues thereof until he should cause 
 other ordinance to be made, as appears by the rolls of the late king's 
 chancery ; and the consideration and process aforesaid, after they had been 
 recited, examined, and discussed in the present parliament at Westminster 
 at Hugh's prosecution, are annulled. The king orders the sheriff to restore

 did not take them into the late king's hands, but that John Walewayn, the 
 said king's late escheator this side Trent, took them into the said king's 
 hands because it was said that Alesia, who held the constableship and baili-

 rendering therefor to her 20 marks yearly, and it appears to the king by

 {avunculus) of Alice and of Margaret her sister, of whom they are the 
 heiresses, died seised in his demesne as of fee of the manor of Whitewyk, 
 and the late king caused the manor to be taken into his hands by reason of 
 their minority, and William de Boghan, asserting that he had been enfeoffed 
 of the manor by the said John, entered the manor thus in the late king's 
 hands, and made, whilst he thus held it, a recognisance for 4,O00Z. before the 
 mayor of London and the clerk of recognisances there to Hugh le 
 Despenser, the elder, and afterwards, because it was found by inquisition 
 taken before the escheator this side Trent, that William had no estate in 
 the manor except by his intrusion, and William asserted before the late 
 king that he had no right in the manor and rendered the manor into the 
 late king's hands as the right and inheritance of Alice and Margaret, and 
 the late king granted the custody thereof during their minority to the 
 aforesaid Henry, and afterwards, when Alice and Margaret were of full age, 
 he rendered Alice's purparty thereof to Henry and Alice, and granted to 
 them Margaret's purparty until he had taken the homage therefor due to 
 him, and he rendered the purparty as is the custom, as is more fully contained 
 in divers letters of the said king, and afterwards the aforesaid Hugh 
 obtained the manor by virtue of the recognisance aforesaid, and held it as 
 his chattel until his death, and it is now in the king's hands by Hugh's 
 forfeiture ; wherefore Henry and Alice have prayed the king to restore the 
 manor to them discharged of the aforesaid recognisance as it came to the 
 late king's hands : as it appears by the late, king's letters, examined before 
 the king and his council, that the aforesaid earl held the manor of the said 
 king in chief at his death, and that it was taken into his hands after ihe 
 earl's death by reason of the minority of Alice and Margaret, and that he 
 rendered to Henry and Alice one purparty thereof and granted the other 
 purparty to Henry as aforesaid, and as the king is bound to render to heirs 
 when they come of age their lands as much discharged as when they came 
 to his hands or the hands of his progenitors, the king orders the sheriff to 
 deliver the aforesaid manor to Henry and Alice diHcharged of the said 
 4,000/. By pet. of 0. [14819.]

 part of the king's seal for receiving recognisances of debts according to the 
 statute of merchants in the city of London, and all rolls and memoranda 
 concerning the office in his custody, as the late king committed the custody 
 of the said part to William, for life, by letters patent, with provision that 
 he might execute the office by himself or by another sufficient clerk for

 Westminster. Thomas de Boulton, knight, the manor of Hildriskelf and certain lands in 
 Galmthorp, to hold as long as the lands of Ralph, late baron of Graystok, 
 tenant in chief of the late king, are in the king's hands, as it was found by 
 inquisition taken by the late king's order by Thomas de Burgh, his eschea- 
 tor beyond Trent, concerning the lands of the said Ralph, that Ralph held 
 the aforesaid manor in fee of John le Bygot and the said lands of Ralph de 
 Nevill, and that the manor and lands are charged to Thomas in 20 marks, 
 two robes, one with fur lining (jpelura) and the other with linen lining 
 {linura), and a saddle suitable for a knight yearly, to be received during his 
 life, and it appears by another inquisition taken by the said escheator that 
 Thomas was seised thereof by virtue of a deed made to him by the said 
 Ralph, and that he continued his seisin thereof until Ralph's death, and the 
 late king thereupon ordered the aforesaid Simon, then his escheator in cos. 
 York, Northumberland, Cumberland, and Westmoreland, by divers writs to 
 pay to Thomas the arrears of the aforesaid 20 marks, robes, and saddle from 
 the time when the lands came to the said king's hands by Ralph's death, 
 and to pay Thomas the same so long as the lands were in his custody, out 
 of the issues of the aforesaid manor and lands, and Simon has signified to 
 the king that he could not execute the said order, because the manor and 
 lands thus charged with the 20 marks, robes, and saddle are extended at 
 12Z. 7«. lie?, only, and the issues thereof are insufficient to pay the said 
 20 marks, robes, and saddle yearly, and Thomas has prayed the king, by

 account that has not yet been rendered, and to cause such justice to be done to 
 the bishop upon the rendeiing of his account as other keepers of the wardrobe 
 liave upon the render of their accounts, as the bishop has shewn, by his peti- 
 tion before the king and his council, that whereas he rendered his account 
 of the time when he was keeper of the aforesaid wardrobe until the end of 
 the 34th year of the reign of Edward I., before John de Insula, John de 
 Foxle, Master Richard de Abyndon, Master John de Everdon, Adam de 
 Lymbergh and Robert de Notingham, auditors appointed by the treasurer

 examined the account with great deliberation and care, he was nevertheless 
 distrained and compelled to recite all the aforesaid account by the procure- 
 ment of certain of his rivals, contrary to the law and custom of account, and 
 especially of accounts of the wardrobe, which are testified by the controller.

 the manor by virtue thereof from the time of the making of the demise 
 peacefully and quietly until the late king caused it to be seised into his 
 hands without cause, wherefore they have prayed the king to provide a 
 remedy, and it appears to the king by the charters and confi.rmations afore- 
 said, which were shewn in chancery, that the manor was demised to the 
 burges.^es at fee-ferm as is aforesaid, and by the testification made by the 
 chancellor before him and his council that the late king caused the manor to

 manor and lands for their lives, with remainder to Henry their son and his 
 heirs male, with reversion, in case he died without an heir male of his body,

 their seisin of the manor and lands from the time when they were enfeoffed 
 thereof by the said Robert until the day of John's death without impedi- 
 ment, and that immediately after John's death Andrew de Harcla, the late

 feoffment thereof made to him by John, and that he held them until he was 
 captured at Carlisle, and that they were taken into the late king's hands by 
 Andrew's forfeiture, and are still in the king's hands, and Ermeiarda has

 diction of Bologna Grassa in Castel Franco and in the bridge of St. Ambrose 
 by Henry de Bocadeferiis and James his brother, and by Guido Thomasii

 the podesta, anciani, and community of the said city of Bologna by his 
 special letters to cause restitution of the said goods to be made to Geoffrey, 
 together with satisfaction for the damages incurred by him ; but although 
 Geoffrey, by himself and his attorneys, pressed them frequently for justice 
 according to the said letters, they caused restitution of 200 pounds of 
 Bologna only to be made to him, and have done nothing concerning the 
 restitution of the remainder, but have failed altogether to do him justice, as 
 appears by the letters patent of the mayor and aldermen of the city of 
 London under their common seal sent to the king, and by other evidences

 Feb. 25. To the treasurer and chamberlains. Whereas Edward I. granted to

 contrary to the executors' will, besides 24/. 'is. Od. received by him from 
 tlie issues of the manor from the time of the ejectment aforesaid until the 
 manor came to the late king's hands, as appears by an inquisition made by 
 the said king's order; and the said manor came to the aforesaid king's 
 hands, with the goods and chattels aforesaid, by reason of tresspasses that 
 Robert committed against him, after Martinmas, in the 9th year of his 
 reign ; and the said king, at the petition of the executors to shew them 
 grace concerning what was wanting of the said term of 7^ years, consider- 
 ing that, when the manor came to his hands by reason of the aforesaid tres- 
 passes, 4^ years of the said term had still to come, which, according to tlie

 17 November, in the 10th year of his reign, 300/. to be paid to them at the

 Christiana's will, that although tlie said terms have elapsed long ago, and 
 the late king ordered his treasurer and chamberlains to pay to Thomas and 
 Philip the arrears of the said 300/., nevertheless 100/. thereof still remain 
 unpaid, and they have besought the king, by their petition before him and 
 his council, to cause the said sum to be paid to them : the king therefore

 Hakelut, if he was amoved from the custody thereof by the late king because 
 he was of the quarrel of Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, to pursue Hugh le 
 Despenser, the elder, and Hugh le Despenser, the younger, as the late king,

 to pay him that sum yearly henceforth, as he has shewn the king, by the 
 petition before him and hi.s council, that Henry III. granted to Nicholas 
 de Bolevyll, his grandfather, of whom he is the heir, that he should receive 
 20/. yearly at the exchequer, in place of the 20/. that the said king pre- 
 viously granted that he should receive at the exchequer until he should 
 provide him with 20/. of the land of wardships and escheats, until such time 
 as the said king should provide him or his heirs with 20/. yearly of the 
 lands of wardships and escheats, by virtue of which grant the said Nicholas, 
 the grandfather, was seised of the said 20/. yearly until his death, since 
 which time neither Nicholas his son, father of the petitioner, a minor in 
 the wardship of Edward I., nor the petitioner, who was afterwards a minor

 issues thereof from tbe time when they were taken into the late king's 
 hands, the lands, goods, and chattels having been taken into the late king's 
 hands because it was presented, by an inquisition taken by his order at 
 Hereford, before his justices to hold pleas before him, that tlie bishop was 
 of the agreement and adhesion of Roger de Mortuo Mari of Wygmore, who 
 was then reputed a rebel, and that he sent certain men-at-arms in aid of 
 Roger against the said king, and the bishop, being addressed before the 
 justices and before the said king, alleged that he ought not and could not 
 reply in this behalf without offence to God and holy church and without 
 the pope's licence, and that the justices ought not to proceed to take the 
 inquisition, and, although the bishop did not place himself upon any 
 inquisition, the justices proceeded to take inquisition at Westminster, where- 
 by it was found that he was of the above agreement and adhesion, and that 
 he sent men-at-arms as above, audit was therefore considered by the justices 
 that the bishop should remain as convicted thereof in the bands of W. 
 archbishop of Canterbury, and that his lands, goods, and chattels should be 
 seized into the late king's hands, as is contained in the record and process 
 therein, which the king has caused to come before him and his council ; and 
 as the bishop, asserting by his petition before the king and his council error 
 in the record and process, has prayed the king to provide a remedy, and it 
 is found, upon the record and process being recited and examined before 
 the king and his council and also in parliament, that errors have intervened 
 in the record and process, and that the record and process are wholly 
 erroneous, whereupon it was considered by the king and his council, by the 
 assent of the whole parliament, that the record and process shall be annulled, 
 and that the bishop shall have again his lands, goods, and chattels, and the 
 issues thereof from the time when they were taken into the late king's hands.

 younger, in order that Hugh might have Alexander's manor of Haterbergh 
 by lordship and power — obtained a commission under Alexander's name of 
 the custody of the castle and town of Scardeburgh for 120/. yearly, 
 Alexander being wholly ignorant thereof, and that Robert detained the 
 commission in his possession long afterwards, and levied a great sum of 
 money from the issues of the castle and town aforesaid after the date of the 
 commission, and afterwards delivered the commission to Alexander, the 
 treasurer and barons intend to charge Alexander in his account with the 
 issues received by Robert after the date of the commission aforesaid, and 
 he has prayed the king to have consideration of the damages and grievances 
 sustained by him from the Scots and of the poverty of the said Robert,' and 
 to cause the debts that Alexander and Robert owe for the ferm aforesaid, 
 and for victuals delivered to them in the late king's time to be attermined ; 
 as it is testified before the king and his council that Robert obtained the 
 aforesaid commission in Alexander's absence, and levied a great sum of 
 money from the castle and town before he delivered the commission to 
 Alexander, and that Alexander suffered many damages at the hands of the 
 Scots and by Robert's falsity, the king has granted to Alexander and Robert

 that they shall pay 10^. yearly to the exchequer for the debts due for the

 John de Trillowe and Adam de Dene that Gilbert de Clare, late earl of 
 Gloucester and Hertford, granted by his charters, which the late king con- 
 firmed by his letters patent on 6 December, in the first year of his reign, 
 the premises to the said Isabella, his sister, for her life, and that Isabella 
 was seised thereof by virtue of this grant whilst she was single, and after- 
 wards, when she was married to Maurice de Berkeleye, she continued her 
 seisin thereof together with Maurice until the manors and rent were taken 
 into the late king's hands with other lands of Maurice's, and they are thus in 
 the king's hands, because Maurice was of the quarrel of Thomas, late earl of 
 Lancaster, and that Isabella in no wise released or quit-claimed the manors 
 and rent to any one, and did not change her estate therein, and that they 
 are held of the king in chief by knight service, and that the manor of 
 Shipton is worth 30/. yearly and the manor of Boreford, except the borough, 
 is worth 10/. yearly in all issues, and it appears by the said charters and 
 letters of confirmation, exhibited before the king in chancery, that the earl

 late earl of Arundel, in 1,000 marks, and made a recognisance for that sum 
 to the earl before WilHam de Bereford and his fellows, then justices of the 
 Bench, and for greater security, the said Stephen made a recognisance to 
 the earl for 1,000 marks, so that both recognisances for 2,000 marks were 
 made for 1,000 marks, as appears by a deed of the earl, containing that both 
 recognisances should be cancelled upon payment of 1,000 marks, and 
 although Henry paid 1,000 marks to the earl and received the earl's letters 
 of acquittance, the earl refused to withdraw the said recognisances for 
 2,000 marks and to cause letters of acquittance to be made to Stephen for 
 the 1,000 marks acknowledged by him, but prosecuted by his lordship 
 against Stephen to levy that sum over again until Stephen made another 
 recognisance to the earl for 600 marks before Geoffi'ey Lescrop and his 
 fellows, justices to hold pleas before the late king ; wherefore Isabella and 
 Stephen have prayed the king to provide a remedy, the goods and chattels 
 and debts of the earl having come to him by forfeiture: as it appears by 
 the earl's deed, exhibited before the king and his council in parliament, 
 that the two recognisances were made to the earl for security for 
 1,000 marks, which the earl received from Henry in full, as appears by 
 his deed of acquittance made to Henry, also exhibited before the king and 
 his council, and A. bishop of Hereford has testified before the king and his 
 council that the earl acknowledged before him, when he was about to die, 
 that the recognisance for 600 marks was made to him by Stephen to have 
 acquittance of the aforesaid 1,000 marks, and that he had been fully 
 satisfied for all debts due to him from Henry and Stephen by any recog- 
 nisances, and requested the biphop to testify this to the king and his council 
 in exoneration of his soul, the king orders the justices of the Bench to

 the gift of Geoifrey de Pertico and Matilda his wife, sometime lords of the 
 castle and town of Haddeleye, who enfeoffed one Stephen son of Odyn, an 
 ancestor of Alice, thereof, from whom the tenements descended in succession 
 to Alice, who held the land and custody peacefully together with the said 
 Roger until the feast of St. Margaret, in the 19th year of the late king's

 March 13. To Geoffrey le Sciop and his fellows, justices to hold pleas before the 
 WeBtminster. king. Stephen de Abyndon has shewn the king, by petition before him and 
 his council in parliament, that whereas Henry Nasard in his lifetime owed 
 to Edmund, then earl of Arundel, 1,000 marks, and made a recognisance 
 therefor to the said earl before William de Bereford and his fellows, the late 
 king's justices of the Bench, and in order to make greater security Stephen 
 made another recognisance in the Bench aforesaid to the earl for the like 
 amount, so that the two recognisances for 2,000 marks were made for 1,000 
 marks, as appears by a deed of the earl, containing that both recognisances 
 should be cancelled upon payment of 1,000 marks, and although Henry paid 
 1,000 marks to the earl and had his letters of acquittance, the earl neverthe- 
 less refused to withdraw the said recognisances for 2,000 marks and to cause 
 letters of acquittance to be made to Stephen for the 1,000 marks acknow- 
 ledged by him, as is aforesaid, but prosecuted by his lordship against 
 Stephen to levy that sum again, until Stephen, Robert de "Welles, knight, 
 and Richard de Betoyne, merchant, made another recognisance to the earl 
 for 600 marks before the said Geoffrey and his fellows, the late king's 
 justices to hold pleas before him ; wherefore Stephen has prayed the king 
 to provide a remedy, as the goods, chattels, and debts of the earl have come 
 to him by the earl's forfeiture : as it appears by the earl's deed, exhibited 
 before the king and his council in parliament, that the two recognisances 
 were made to the earl for security for 1,000 marks, which the earl received 
 from Henry in full, as appears by his deed of acquittance made to Henry 
 only, likewise exhibited before the king and his council, and A. bishop of 
 Hereford has testified before the king and his council that the earl, when he 
 was about to die, acknowledged before him that the recognisance for 
 COO marks was made to him in order to have acquittance of the aforesaid 
 1,000 marks, and that he had been fully satisfied for all debts due to him 
 from Henry and Stephen by any recognisances, and requested the bishop to 
 testify this to the king and his council in exoneration of his soul, the king 
 orders the said justices to cause the aforesaid recognisance for 600 marks to 
 be withdrawn and cancelled. By pet. of C. [8458.]

 March 10. To Benedict de Fulsham, the king's butler, or to him who supplies his 
 Westminster, place in the port of Hull. Whereas lately, at the prosecution of W. arch- 
 bishop of York — suggesting to the king that Athelstan, sometime king of 
 England, the king's progenitor, granted by his charter to the archbishop of 
 York and his successors all liberties in the water of Hull that heart might 
 think or eye might see, and that afterwards Henry III. granted to Walter 
 GifFard, then archbishop, that he and his successors should have and hold 
 their port and prises there, as well of wines as of other merchandise there 
 arriving, as Walter de Grey and other predecessors of the said Walter had, 
 and that from the time of the said grant the predecessors of the archbishop 
 had their prises of wines in the said water until the time of the grant of 
 Henry III. in the same manner as the late king and his progenitors made 
 and had such prises elsewhere in the realm, and from that time until 
 Matthew Colombers, the butler of Edward I. hindered the archbishop 
 thereof, and that the said archbishop and his predecessors were impeded 
 frequently from that time from making and having their prises in the said 
 water by the butlers of the late king, and that the late king appointed 
 Henry lo Scrop, William de Herle, John de Denum, and Adam de Hopertou 
 to enquire by the oaths of men of co. York concerning the premises, and it 
 is found by the inquisition taken accordingly before Henry and Adam, in 
 the presence of Geoffrey son of Hugh, then bailiff of Hull, returned into the 
 late king's chancery, which inquisition the king has caused to come before 
 him, that Walter de Grey, sometime archbi.shop of York, and his predecessors 
 from time out of mind had and held, as of the right of their church of York, 
 their port and prises of wines arriving in tiie water of Hull, to wit receiving 
 from each ship bringing over 20 tuns of wine for sale in the said water, two 
 tuns of wine, one before and one behind the mast, paying 20s. for each tun 
 thus prised (priso), until the .51 Henry III., when that king granted to 
 Walter Giffard, then archbishop, that he and his successors for ever should 
 have and hold their said port and prises in the water of Hull, as Walter de 
 Grey and other predecessors of Walter Giffard had their port and prises 
 freely and quietly, and that the aforesaid Walter Giffard and his successors 
 had and held the port and prises from the time of the aforesaid grant peace- 
 fully as Walter de Grey and his predecessors had until 11 Edward I., when 
 one Matthew Columbers, then the said king's butler, by reason of his hatred 
 of William Wykkewane, then archbishop, took the prises of wines in the 
 said water into the aforesaid king's hands, and of his own wrong impeded 
 the archbishop from receiving such prises, by pretext of which hindrance 
 the said Wilham and his successors have been hitherto impeded from 
 receiving the prises in the water aforesaid by the butlers of Edward I. and 
 Edward II,, and are thus impeded by the aforesaid Benedict, and that the 
 aforesaid kings have had and held the said prises from the time of the im- 
 pediment thus applied by Matthew; wherefore the archbishop has 
 prayed the king, by petition before him and his council, to cause restitution 
 of the prises to be made to him — the king, having consideration to tlie 
 charter and inquisition aforesaid, and because Benedict has said nothing to 
 the contrary in parliament before the king and his council, c-jcept that h?

 To John de Denum, keeper of the lands that belonged to Philippa, late 
 the wife of Roger de Bradeburn, in co. Derby, or to him who supplies his 
 place. The aforesaid Philippa has shewn the king, by her petition before 
 him and his council, that she, long before Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, 
 prosecuted his quarrel against Hugh le Despenser, the elder, and others, 
 acquired to her and her heirs in fee from Henry de Bradeburn, deceased, 
 the manors of Bradeburn and Hogh, in the said county, and was seised 
 thereof in her demesne as of fee until the late king's escheator in those 
 parts unjustly amoved her from the manors and took them into the late 
 king's hands, because the said Henry adhered to the earl in the aforesaid 
 quarrel, pretending that the manors were Henry's and not hers, whereupon 
 she afterwards prayed the late king to provide a remedy ; and although it 
 was found by an inquisition taken before Roger de Beler and his fellows by 
 tlie late king's order that the manors were the right of Philippa by reason 
 of the acquisition aforesaid, and they were delivered to her as her right by 
 virtue of a writ of the late king's directed to the aforesaid keeper, and she 
 was long seised of them by the aforesaid delivery, the late king caused them 
 to be taken into his hands again because the inquisition did not say that it 
 was taken in the presence of the keeper of the manors, and the manors are 
 thus in the king's hands, wherefore she has prayed Ihe king to provide a 
 remedy : as it appears by the rolls of chancery that the manors were at first 
 taken into the late king's hands by reason of the quarrel aforesaid, which 
 has been adjudged good and just by the king and the whole parliament, and 
 the judgments rendered against those who were of the quarrel have been 
 wholly annulled, the king orders the keeper to deliver the manors to 
 Philippa, together with the issues and arrears of ferms for which answer has 
 not been made to the late king. By pet. of C. [396.]

 then mayor of the staple, ordered the said collectors and other collectors 
 that no wool of native or alien merchants or others should be shipped in 
 any port within the realm without certificate by leiters or bills of the said 
 John or of him who supplied his plac^ directed to the collectors of customs 
 (custumariis) of the places where such shipment should happen to be made,

 to have, and he and his predecessors have always had hitherto from time 
 out of mind, royal rights between the waters of Tyne and These in Nor- 
 hamshire and Bedelyngtonshire, co. Northumberland, and have exercised 
 the said rights by themselves aud their own ministers, and have done jus- 
 tice of all and singular things arising between the waters aforesaid and in 
 the said places by themselves and their ministers, without the king or his 
 progenitors or any bailiff or minister of the king or his progenitors inter- 
 meddling in any way, except in default of the bishop or his predecessors in 
 exhibiting justice, by pretext of which royal liberties the bishop ought to 
 have forfeiture of war in the liberty and places aforesaid, and Anthony, 
 sometime bishop of that place, his predecessor, caused the castle and manor 
 of Bernard's Castle with appurtenances, forfeited by John de Balliolo, 
 formerly lord thereof, and the manor of Herte and Hertenesse, forfeited by 
 Robert de Brus, formerly lord of that manor, witliin the liberty aforesaid, 
 to be taken into his hands by virtue of such royal liberties, and held 
 them thus peacefully for some time as the right of his church, until 
 Edward I. caused him to be amoved from the castle and manors without 
 judgment and without his being called, pretending that such forfeiture of 
 war, both within the liberty of the bishopric and elsewhere, ought to per- 
 tain to him, and caused the castle and manors to be taken into his hands, 
 although Henry III. revoked by his charter and council a collation that he 
 made to Thomas de Clare of the manor of Gretham, in the liberty of thp 
 bishopric aforesaid, which manor belonged to Peter de Monte Forti and 
 which the said king at that time believed pertained to him by Peter's 
 forfeiture, when the said king granted that the bishop might have his will 
 of the manor of Gretham and of other lands forfeited and escheated within 
 his royalty aforesaid, in the same manner as the said king had of such lands 
 forfeited to him elsewhere in his realm; and although the said bishop 
 frequently sued in divers parliaments of the late king for justice in the 
 premises, he could not obtain justice, and he has therefore prayed the king 
 to provide a remedy : as it appears by the said charter of Henry III., exhi- 
 bited before the kiug and his parliament, that the said king revoked by his 
 council the aforesaid collation of the manor of Gretham, and granted (hat 
 the bishop should have.his will thereof and of other lands forfeited within 
 the said liberty, as is aforesaid, and certain answers to divers petitions of 
 the said bishop in the parliaments of the late king have been inspected and 
 examined, made by the late king's council for the information of his right, 
 which answers, with other memoranda touching the matter found in the 
 treasury and chancery, the king caused to come before him and his council 
 in parliament, and nothing is found therein by reason whereof the bishop 
 ought to be excluded from his petition, it is agreed by the king and all 
 his council in parliament that the bishop shall have his liberty cf such 
 forfeitures according to the tenor and effect of the charter aforesaid, and

 hamshire and Bedelyngtonsliire that are in the king's hands by forfeiture 
 of war, and not to intermeddle further with the same. It is not, however, 
 the intention of the king and his council that any one now holding lands of

 Feb. 18. To Simon de Grymmesby, escheator beyond Trent. Whereas Leoia, late 
 
 Westminster, the wife of Ralph do Rugemund, demanded in the late king's court before 
 William de Hereford and his fellows, then justices of the Bench, by the 
 said king's writ, 4 messuages, 2 tofts, 15 bovates of land, 4 acres of meadow, 
 and 10*. Urf. of rent in Holm near Pykhale, as her right and marriage, 
 against John de Thornton, chaplain, and Alexander le Clerk of St. Leonard's 
 hospital, York, and the said John and Alexander said in court that they 
 were tenants of the said tenements on the day when the said writ was 
 sued out, and Lecia afterwards recovered the tenements against them by 
 consideration of the court, as appears by the record and process of the 
 suit, which the late king caused to come before him and which have been 
 seen and examined by the king and his council, and the king learns by an 
 inquisition taken by Thomas de Eyvyll and Adam de Hoperton by the late 
 king's order that John and Alexander were tenants of the said tenements 
 on the day when the said writ was sued out, to wit 10 February, in the 
 14th year of the late king's reign, and that they, whilst the plea was pend- 
 ing before the justices aforesaid, enfeoffed John de Hartcla of the said 
 tenements, to wit in three weeks from Michaelmas, 15 Edward II., and 
 that the said John [de Hartcla] within 15 days following enfeoffed Andrew 
 de Hartcla, his brother, of the aforesaid tenements, who held them until 
 his death, by whose forfeiture they came to the late king's hands, and that 
 Lecia could not have seisin of the tenements because they were thus in the 
 late king's hands at the time of the recovery, and that the tenements that 
 were in the late king's hands in Holm by Andrew's forfeiture are the same 
 tenements that Lecia recovered against John de Thornton and Alexander, 
 as is aforesaid, and that she never remitted them to John de Hartcla or to 
 Andrew or made any estate thereof to them, and that she died whilst the 
 matter was pending undiscussed, to wit on Monday before Christmas, 
 19 Edward II., in her bed by natural death, and that Richard de Ruche- 
 mund, chaplain, is her son and heir, and is aged 40 years, and that the 
 tenements are held of Robert Coigners by knight service, and are worth 
 yearly in all issues lOOi. : the king orders the escheator to deliver the 
 aforesaid tenements to Richard, if they are in the king's hands solely by 
 reason of Andrew's forfeiture. By pet. of C. [3475.]

 ton with his goods and merchandise relying upon the late king's procla- 
 mations made at Loudon and Bordeaux that strange merchants might come 
 into England with their goods and merchandise safely and securely to trade 
 therein with the same, the bailiffs of that town arrested him and his goods 
 by virtue of an order of the late king's to arrest all merchants of the power 
 of the king of France and all their goods and chattels, wherefore Arnald 
 prayed the king to provide a remedy — ordered the bailiffs to certify him of 
 the time when Arnald came to that town with his goods and merchandise, 
 and at what time he was arrested and his goods taken into the late king's 
 hand?, and for what cause, etc., and they have signified that Arnald arrived

 by the order of John de Hildesle, the late kinf^'s clerk, and of Andrew 
 Eosekyn, shewing the late king's order to arrest all men of the power of the 
 king of France and their goods and chattels, the said Arnald and 
 101. \Ss. 4d. of his money in the hands of Richard Bagge, his creditor, and 
 30s. in the hands of Robert de Neuweton, another of his creditors, were 
 arrested, and still remain arrested : as it appears by inspection of the rolls 
 of chancery that the late king, on I May, in the 19th year of his reign, took 
 all strange merchants into his protection, willing that they should come 
 safely into England with their goods, and it appears by the return that 
 Arnald and the said sums of money were arrested on the aforesaid Sunday, 
 which was before the proclamation that the merchants of the power of the 
 king of Prance should not come except at their peril, the king orders the 
 sheriff and bailiffs to release Arnald and the said sums of money from arrest, 
 and to cause the sums to be delivered to Arnald.

 March 13. To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. The abbot of West- 
 Westminster, minster has shewn the king, by petition exhibited before him and his 
 council in parliament after the Purification, that whereas the king's pro- 
 genitors granted to the abbots of that place, his predecessors, a tenth of the 
 ferm of the town of Droitwich (de fVychio), in co. Worcester, for which 
 tenth the present abbot and his predecessors have heretofore received 8/. 
 yearly at the exchequer, as well in the times when the manor was in the 
 hands of the king's progenitors as in the hands of others, as the abbot 
 asserts that he can prove by the rolls and memoranda of the exchequer, 
 until the time -when Edward I. granted the manor to Margaret his consort 
 in dower, and Margaret paid the tenth to the abbot all the time that she 
 held the manor, and the abbot has received nothing from the time of her 
 death, to wit from the 11th year of the late king's reign, and was unable to 
 receive anything because the late king granted the manor to Queen 
 Isabella, who refused to pay the tenth for the time that she held it, and also 
 because the late king granted the manor to Edmund, earl of Kent, to him 
 and the heirs of his body, as of the value of S'Jl. 5s. Qd. yearly, and the earl, 
 asserting that he was not bound to pay the tenth, refused to pay it to the 
 abbot, and the abbot has prayed the king to cause the arrears of the said 
 tenth to be paid to him, and to order the tenth to be paid to him henceforth: 
 as the abbot has exhibited before the king and his council a charter of 
 William the Conquerer, the king's progenitor, who gave the tentii to the 
 abbot by the same charter and by the following words ' I have moreover 
 given the tenth of Wych of the part that pertained to me, and I have again 
 rendered to them the same part, which was unjustly taken away from 
 them, which part king Edward had previously given to them,' and it is 
 found by certificate made before the king and his council by the treasurer 
 and barons that the abbots of Westminster were paid the said 8/. at the 
 exchequer for tlie tenth aforesaid, sometimes in money, sometimes by allow- 
 ances in the debts then owing by them to the exchequer, and also by the 
 hands of the aforesaid Margaret for all her time, the manor being assigned 
 to her as of the value of 81/. bs. Od. besides the fixed alms, until the ferm of 
 the town was granted to Queen Isabella, who paid nothing of the tenth 
 because the charter that she had made mention of the whole ferm without 
 any exception of the tenth being made, and that the i'erm is now granted to 
 the said eail without any exception of the tenth being made, the king 
 orders the treasurer and barons to cause the abbot to have allowance

 bition directed to him, the king having prohibited the bishop admitting any 
 person to the church until it should be discussed in his court whether the

 obtained payment thereof, and they have not yet been satisfied therefor, as

 charters, which the king has confirmed by his charter, and he has granted

 to be allowed to him in the money to be rendered on his wool to be taken 
 out of that port, as he has shewn the king, by petition before him and his 
 council, that the late king, by his letters patent under his seal called ' koket' 
 of London, acknowledged that he had received the above sum as a loan from 
 Richard, then a native merchant, in the 12th year of his reign, by the hands of 
 William de Hedersete and William de Rude, then collectors of the custom of 
 wool, hides, and wool-tells in the port of London, and granted by the same

 Ralph de Camoys and Elizabeth his wife, and Hugh their son, and others 
 named in the original writ, concerning a tenement in Westbury, and that the 
 said Ralph, Elizabeth, and Hugh in pleading before Ralph, John, and John 
 proffered a charter of the late king's, whereby they asserted they held the 
 tenement put in view of the grant of the said king, and alleged that they 
 ought not to answer without the king, and that Ralph, John, and John 
 deferred proceeding further in the assize for this reason — the king ordered 
 the said Ralph, John, and John to proceed to the taking of the said assize 
 according to the law and custom of the realm, notwithstanding the allega- 
 tion aforesaid, and ordered them not to proceed to render judgment therein 
 without consulting him ; and afterwards the king, being given to understand 
 that they had taken the assize by virtue of the said order, ordered Ralph to 
 send to him the tenor of the record and process of the assize under his seal, 
 and it is now found by the tenor of the assize aforesaid, thus sent to the 
 king and seen and examined by him and his council, that Ralph, Elizabeth, 
 and Hugh disseised Margery of the manor of Westbury, which she placed 
 in view, long before the making of the said charter, which they afterwards 
 acquired from tiie late king : the king therefore sends the tenor aforesaid

 yearly granted to him by the late king, as Dougal has prayed the king, by 
 petition before him and his council, to cause the arrears to be paid to 
 him in order to pay John's debts therewith, Dougal having shewn in his 
 petition that when John returned to England from the late king's service in 
 Ireland in the 9th year of his reign, the late king, because John was then 
 impotent, so that he could not labour any more, and his lands in Scotland 
 had been destroyed and wasted, ordained that he should dwell in London 
 with his household, and that he should receive 200 marks yearly for his 
 maintenance, and thereupon ordered his treasurer and chamberlains to pay 
 John that sum yearly, and that although John dwelt at London for a year 
 and a half after the said ordinance, when he died, he only received 100 
 marks for that time from the treasurer and chamberlains, for which reason 
 John was indebted to divers men at the time of his death for debts for his

 king's service by his order from the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula, in the 
 17th year of his reign, until the feast of St. Mary Magdalene following, 
 during which time his father died, to wit at the feast of SS. Simon and

 castle, manor, and lands for the periods aforesaid by the late king's com- 
 missions to answer to him for the issues thereof, and they have not yet 
 accounted for the issues in the exchequer and have not paid anything

 his special letters to cause justice to be done to the aforesaid citizens for the

 Be it remembered, that on 3 February, in the first year of the reign of 
 King Edward, son of King Edward, son of King Edward, son of King Henry, 
 certain petitions were shewn in the parliament then held at Westminster, 
 by the knights and the commune of the quarrel of the earl of Lancaster, in 
 the form following: 'To our lord the king, etc., pray the knights and the 
 commuDO unjustly disinherited, imprisoned, robbed, banished, and exiled, who 
 were of the quarrel of the noble earl of Lancaster, that they may be restored 
 to their lands with the issues since the time when they were unjustly seized.' 
 To which petition it was answered, by the common assent of all the par- 
 liament, that all the lands and tenements, as well in Ireland and Wales as 
 in England, that were seized by reason of the quarrel of the earl of 
 Lancaster, which has been aifirmed good by all the parliament, shall be 
 restored with all the issues and arrears of ferms for which the king has not 
 been satisfied {servi). 
 
 Also the knights and the commune aforesaid pray that they may have 
 recovery of their goods and chattels whereof they were despoiled and 
 robbed wrongly, with all the wastes and damages that they have received 
 in their said lands by the keepers. To which answer was made by the 
 common assent of all the parliament that all their goods that can be found 
 to be in the king's hands shall be restored, and they shall have recovery of 
 their other goods taken by others against the takers. As to the wastes and 
 destructions made by the keepers or fermors, they shall have their recovery 
 against the keepers or fermors. 
 
 Also the said knights and commune pray that it may please the king to 
 revoke, reverse, and annul all manner of outlawries, banishments, fines of 
 lands, ransoms, recognisances, obligations, penalties, sales of land and gifts 
 made by force or by duress (durte) to Hugh le Despenser, the father, or to 
 Hugh le Despenser, the son, after their exile, to Edmund, earl of Arundel, 
 to Robert de Baldok, to Walter de Stapelton, late bishop of Exeter, or to 
 any other who may be found to be of their adherence. To which answer 
 was made by the common assent of all the parliament that the outlawries 
 and banishments made by reason of the quarrel shall be reversed and 
 annulled, and that the arrears of ransoms shall be annulled. As to fines for 
 trespasses, obligations, recognisances, penalties, and ransoms by reason of 
 the said quarrel, those made in chancery shall be condemned, and they shall 
 have writs to the exchequer and elsewhere to condemn them, whatever 
 part thereof they may have paid (faitz). As to fines and sales of land and 
 gifts made by force and duress, it is agreed and adjudged that fines, gifts, 
 and recognisances of land made and levied after the exile to the persons 
 named, etc., by force and duress sliall be defeated, and that of this an article 
 of the statute shall be made. 
 
 Also the knights and the commune aforesaid pray that it may please the 
 king and his council to ordain in this parliament by statute that none of 
 those who came with him or his mother into his realm or who came specially

 for their aid shall be impeached, aggrieved, molested, or damaged in any 
 court for matter that was done for the pursuit of Hugh and Hugh, or of 
 any of their adherents, traitors and enemies of the realm, from the day of 
 their arrival until the day of his coronation. To which petition it was 
 answered by the common assent of all the parliament that it shall be 
 ordained by statute that none of those who lately came into the realm with 
 the king or his mother, and none of those who dwelt in the realm and 
 afterwards came in aid of the king and his mother, as is above said, shall 
 be impeached, molested, or aggrieved in the court of the king or of any 
 other for the taking of persons, castles, or chattels, death of men, or other 
 matters done in the said pursuit from the day when the king and queen 
 arrived until the coronation, as is above said ; provided nevertheless that 
 malefactors who did trespasses or other evil deeds apart from the pursuit to 
 the good men of the country may not cover themselves by this statute, but 
 shall be responsible to the law. 
 
 Also the knights and the said commune pray that those of the quarrel 
 who escaped fi-om prison may have charters of pardon for their escape 
 without giviug anything therefor. To which petition it was answered 
 and agreed by common assent, etc., that they shall have them without 
 giving anything Ihat pertains to the king. 
 
 Also, on the 13th day of the same month of February, it was agreed by 
 common assent of all the parliament that the knights and all the others of 
 the quarrel, etc., in pursuit of Sir Hugh le Besfjenser, the father, and the 
 son, and the other evil councillors of the king and enemies of the land, shall 
 be restored to their lands and tenements, as well those that they had in 
 demesne as in reversions, franchises, fees, bailiwicks, offices, advowsons of 
 churches, and all other things pertaining thereto in England, "Wales, and 
 Ireland that were taken into the king's hands by reason of the said quarrel, 
 to whose hands soever the said lands, tenements, and the other things may 
 have come, as well infants under age as others, by feoffment or otherwise ; 
 but it is not the council's intention that those who have sold, released, or 
 quit-claimed their lands of their free will shall be restored by this agree- 
 ment. 
 
 It is also agreed that ladies and widows who have purchased lands and 
 inheritances, and who.se dowers were seized into the king's hands by reason 
 of the said quarrel, shall be meanwhile restored to their lands, in the same 
 manner as men of the quarrel aforesaid. 
 
 It is also agreed that all those who have lands of the king's gift that 
 were taken into the king's hands at another time by reason of the 
 quarrel aforesaid, shall answer for the issues of the said lands for the time 
 that they have held them to those to whom the lands belonged, in the same 
 manner as if they had been keepers, especially as the king took no profit ; 
 and if waste or destruction have been done in their time, they shall answer 
 [thei-efor] in the same manner. 
 
 Also that presentments and collations of benefices of holy church made 
 by the king, the clerks whereof were of the said quarrel and are still alive, 
 and some of whom are dead, which presentments and collations pertained to 
 the men of the quarrel after the death of the said earl, whether with cure or 
 without cure, shall be revoked as quickly as the law of holy church will 
 allow. French. {Fcedera ; Rot. Pari.']

 that shall be made to the disinherited men to have their lands again —

 Pleas before the king and his council at Westminster, in the presence of 
 the king, the proceres and magnates of the realm in parliament assembled, 
 on the morrow of the Purification of St. Mary, 1 Edward III. 
 
 Henry de Lancastria, brother and heir of Thomas, sometime earl of Lan- 
 caster, came into this parliament, and exhibited before the king, the procf?-ei 
 and magnates of the realm and the king's council a petition to this effect : 
 The aforesaid Henry prays the king that, whereas the said Thomas was un- 
 reasonably adjudged to death before the late king and his council at Pount- 
 freit, in the 15th year of his reign, by an erroneous process then made 
 against him, by which judgment he was put to death and his heirs were 
 disinherited, the record and process whereof are in the chancery, it may 
 please the king to order the chancellor to cause the record and process of 
 the judgment to come here in parliament, and that they may be recited and 
 examined, so that any error in them may be redressed, and that right may 
 be done in the matter to Henry, as brother and heir of Thomas, and that 
 his inheritance may be delivered to him. French. 
 
 By pretext of which petition, the chancellor was ordered by the king to 
 search the rolls of the late king's chancery for the aforesaid year, and to 
 cause the record and process aforesaid to be brought here in parliament, 
 etc. ; and the chancellor afterwards protferred the record and process here 
 in these words : 
 
 ' Pleas of the crown held before the Lord King Edward, son of the Lord 
 King Edward, held in his presence at Pontefract on Monday before the 
 Annunciation, in the 15th year of his reign. Whereas Thomas, earl of 
 Lancaster ' [etc., as in Fcedera, ii, 479, to quod exeoutio tantummodo fiat 
 super ipsum Thomam comitem quod decapitetur]. 
 
 And hereupon, in the presence of the king and the proceres and magnates 
 of the realm and others here in parliament, the record and process aforesaid 
 having been recited and read, the said Henry is asked for what reason he 
 has caused the record and process to come here; aud he says that he is the 
 brother and heir of the said earl, and that he has caused the record and pro- 
 cess aforesaid to come here by reason of the errors in the same, which he 
 prays may be corrected, etc. And he is told to .shew the errors, etc. And he 
 says that there is error in this, that whereas every liege man of the king taken 
 for seditions, homicides, robberies, arson, and other felonies in time of peace.

 and in whatsoever court of the king's he may be brought, ought by the law 
 and custom of tlie realm to be arraigned of such seditions and other felonies 
 charged against him, and ought to be put to answer, and ought to be con- 
 victed thereof by law, etc., before he be adjudged to death, nevertheless, 
 although the said Thomas was a liege man of the late king, etc., and was 
 taken in time of peace and brought before the said king, the said king, etc., 
 recorded that Thomas was guilty of the seditions and felonies contained in 
 the aforesaid record and process, without an-aigning him thereof or putting 
 him to answer, as is the custom according to the law, etc., and thus Thomas 
 was adjudged to death in error and against the law of the land in time of 
 peace without arraignment or answer, since it is notorious and manifest that 
 all the time during which Thomas was charged with doing the evil deeds con- 
 lained in the record and process, and also the time when he was taken, and 
 when the late king recorded that he was guilty, etc., and the time when he 
 was adjudged to death was a time of peace, especially as during all that time 
 the chancery and other places (placee) of the king's court were open, and 
 law was done in them to each person, as was usually done, and the late king 
 never rode with banners unfurled during that time ; the late king, etc., there- 
 fore ought not to have thus recorded against the earl in such time of peace, 
 and ought not to have adjudged him to death without arraignment and 
 answer. He also says that there is error in this, that whereas Thomas was one 
 of the peers and magnates of the realm, and it is contained in Magna Carta 
 that no free man shall be taken, imprisoned, or disseised of his freehold or 
 liberties or free customs, or be outlawed or exiled, or destroyed in any way, 
 rand the king shall not go against him or send against him except by lawful 
 judgment of his peers or by the law of the land, the said Thomas was erro- 
 neously adjudged to death by record of the king, as is aforesaid, in time of 
 peace without arraignment or answer or lawful j udgment of his peers, contrary 
 to the law, etc., and contrary to the tenor of Mag7ia Carta ; wherefore he 
 prays that the said errors may be corrected and that the judgment aforesaid 
 may be annulled as erroneous, etc., and that he may be admitted to his in- 
 heritance as brother and heir of the said Thomas, etc. And as, the record 
 and process aforesaid having been inspected and fully understood, it is con- 
 sidered by the king, proceres, magnates and whole community of the realm 
 in the said parliament, that, by reason of the errors aforesaid and others in 
 the record and process, the judgment rendered against the said earl Thomas 
 shall be revoked and annulled as erroneous, and that the aforesaid Henry 
 shall be admitted as brother and heir of the said Thomas to demand and 
 have his inheritance, making due process therefor as is the custom, and that 
 lie shall have writs to the chancellor and justices in whose places (placets) 
 the record and process are enrolled to cause the record and process to be

 paid to ihem, and to certify the king without delay of what he shall find to 
 be due to them or to the king, as the merchants have given the king to 
 understand that Thomas has done nothing in execution of the late king's 
 order to the like effect, which order the late king made when he released the 
 merchants from the observation of certain .agreements made between them 
 and Thomas for the finding and delivering in the city of London of divers 
 sorts of t-pices for the expenses of the said king's household, they having 
 prayed the late king to excuse them from fulfilling the agreement.s, because 
 they durst not bring their spices or other merchandise to the city by reason

 To the burgomasters, echevins, and community of the town of Bruges. 
 The king learns from the mayor and certain citizens of London that the 
 burgomasters, echevins, and community have complained to them by their 
 letters that, after the truce was concluded between the king, for his 
 subjects, and them and others of Flanders, their adherents, certain male- 
 factors of Sandwich and Winchelse were alleged to have taken a ship of the 
 town of Neuport, laden with divers wares to the value of 200/., on the sea 
 near Boulogne, and that, after they had slain the mariners thereof, they 
 took it whither they would. The king is much disturbed at hearing of this, 
 and he is very desirous that such an offence shall be severely puni-shed, and 
 he therefore signifies to the burgomasters, echevins, and community that if 
 they or the persons who have suffered damage will send proctors or envoys 
 to him to obtain justice, he will be prepared, according to the requirements 
 of the truce, to exhibit justice to them in all things with all speed, and to 
 punish the offenders upon conviction so severely that others doing the like 
 shall be struck with fear. It is not fitting that the truce shall be broken 
 by reason of this offence, if it have been so committed, .since safety cannot 
 easily be provided against the attacks of such pirates, and it will not be the 
 king's fault if attempts against the truce be not duly emended.

 gold due to Queen Isabella by reason of this fine, and for 100«. that Kichard

 said qu.arrel, as it was agreed in the late parliament that fines, obhgations, 
 and ransoms made by those who were of the said quarrel shall be cancelled 
 and annulled, and the king has caused the said fine of 2,000 marks to be 
 annulled. 
 
 To the barons of the exchequer. Order to receive John Sotomay and 
 William de Barnesby, or one of them, in place of Edmund de Assheby, late 
 sheriff of Warviick and Leicester, to render his account at the exchequer on 
 the morrow of the Ascension next for the time when he was sheriff of the 
 said counties, as Edmund has attorned them in his place for this purpose, 
 because he cannot attend person.ally at the said day as he is about to set out 
 for Scotland with llcnry de Bello Monte in the king's service by his oi-der.

 the arrears of the ferms of the aforesaid lands to the said John de Wroxhale, 
 who was of the quarrel of Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, in accordance 
 with the ordinance in the late parliament at Westminster, as John de Erleye

 had not been made according to the grants of the said kings, the king 
 granted that the perambulations aforesaid thus granted and confirmed should 
 be held and observed for ever under the metes and bounds contained in the 
 late king's letters patent; the king wills that the perambulations that were 
 not then made in some of the forests shall be made as quickly as possible 
 b}' his subjects to be appointed for this purpose ; and he now understands 
 that although in the fiee chace aforesaid — which he has assigned, together 
 with the castle and honour, to Queen Isabella for life — no perambulation 
 was made in the times of Edward I. or Edward II., and although he has 
 appointed no men to make such perambulation, nevertheless certain persons 
 have made a perambulation in the chace aforesaid by their own authority, 
 and have placed bounds and hedges (divisas) in the king's soil thero 
 without his assBut, and chase and take beasts, fell oaks, and presume to do 
 other things in places thus put by them outside the chace to the prejudice 
 of the king and his mother: the king therefore orders the steward, or him 
 who supplies his place, to go to the chace in person, and to survey the 
 perambulation thus made and the bounds and hedges thus placed, and if lie 
 find that any places have been placed outside the chace by the perambulation, 
 he is to take them into the chace again, and to cause them to be kept in the

 escheator this side Trent, not to intermeddle further with the manor of 
 Scarthecroft and to restore the issues thereof, retaining in the king's hands 
 the manor of Rithre, because it was found by inquisition taken by the

 inspection of the rolls of chancery that the late king, on 1 May, in the 
 19th year of bis reign, took strange merchants into his protection, willing 
 that they should come into the realm safely and securely with their 
 merchandise, and it also appeared by the certificate of the bailifl^s of South- 
 ampton that Geoffrey Giles, Isrannus de Seint Luas, Rayraund Baret, 
 Bartholomew Patris, and John Feneratour,* merchants of Rabastenx, were 
 arrested with 143 tuns and 13 pipes of wine on Sunday before the Transla- 
 tion of St. Thomas the Martyr, in the aforesaid year, which was before the 
 proclamation that merchants of the power of the king of France should not 
 come into England except at their peril, the king ordered the said bailiffs to 
 cause the merchants aforesaid and the 143 tuns and 13 pipes of wine and 
 their debts to be released from arrest, and to cause the wine or its price to 
 be delivered to them ; and afterwards, learning from the said merchants

 so that they could not satisfy the merchants therefor, they were to certify 
 the king to whose hands the wine had come, and for what reason, etc., and 
 how much the 19 tuns and 4 pipes were worth at the time of the arrest; and 
 the bailiffs have now returned that of the 19 tuns and 4 pipes that remained 
 in the custody of John de Vans, late bailiff of that town, the said John had 
 delivered to divers men 17 tuns and one pipe by virtue of divers writs of 
 the late king under his privy seal, the transcripts whereof the bailiffs sent 
 to the king with their return, and that each of the tuns was worth 
 4 marks at the time of the arrest, and the merchants have prayed the king 
 to allow them 25/. Is. Od., due from them to the king for the aforesaid 
 custom, to wit for 247 tuns and 13 pif>es of wine brought into the realm by 
 them, in the money in arrear to them for the 17 tuns and 1 pipe aforesaid :

 merchants to be quit of the said 251. Is. Od. for the custom aforesaid, and

 late king in -John's wood of Chalkton when John's lands were in the late

 July 8. To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the late king, 
 
 Topcliffe. by reason of certain falsities in the account of Alexander de Bykenore, 
 archbishop of Dublin, rendered at the exchequer, for the time when he was 
 treasurer of Ireland, caused the temporalities of the archbishopric and the 
 archbishop's goods and chattels and debts to be taken into his hands by 
 consideration of his court, and the king now understands that the archbishop

 hag entered the temporalities and has occupied the goods and chattels afore- 
 said ; the king orders the treasurer and barons to search the rolls and 
 memoranda of the exchequer concerning the premises, and to certify him of 
 what they find, as he wishes to know whether any order to restore the 
 temporalities, goods and chattels to the archbishop emanated from the late 
 king or from him under the exchequer seal. As he is given to understand 
 that, notwithstanding the falsities found in the said account, such as in false 
 writs and forged letters of acquittauce, and divers other concealments 
 whereof certain persons were convicted at the exchequer, they intend to 
 allow the writs and false letters of acquittance to the ar<^hbis!iop in hiii 
 account, and not to charge the said concealments in any way ; the king orders 
 them to have consideration of the things that were done at the exchequer 
 before the late king and his council concerning the premises, and to conduct 
 themselves so carefully in the premises that the judgment rendered in this 
 matter upon another occasion may not be weakened in any way without the 
 king being consulted. By K. & C. 
 
 To the treasurer and chamberlains of tlie exchequer of Dublin. Order

 therewith victuals at the king's order for the Sootcli expedition and for the 
 defence of that land against attacks of the Irish, who, the king understands, 
 endeavour from day to day to destroy and waste the lands of the king and 
 of his subjects there. The treasurer is ordeied to cause all money due to 
 the king to be levied with all possiole speed, and to cause it to be kept 
 safely iu the treasury for his use until further orders. By K. & C.

 waste the lands of the king and his subjects in Ireland from day to day, and 
 to apply by their advice such remedy for the defence of the king's lands out 
 of the money in the treasury arising from the issues of the archbishopric of 
 Dublin, and from other issues of that land, if need be, as shall seem tit for 
 the preservation of the king's honour and the defence of his subjects and

 assigned to her certain lands in Eskrik, which had then beea taken into the 
 said king's hands by the deatli of Roger Damori, fur her dower of the manor 
 of Berlay, from the time when Ehzabeth de Burgo, late the wife ot the said 
 Roger, entered the said lands, as Sigreda has given the king to understand 
 that the treasurer and barons charge her with the above sum as if she held 
 the said lands, although they have been delivered to Ehzabeth by the king 
 because Roger was of the quarrel of Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, and the

 held certain hinds at La Stepele in Shire, in the same county, for life, by the

 and the men dwelling within it should be disafforested for ever from him 
 and his heirs, and that they should be quit and absolved from all things 
 pertaining to a forest or foresters, and th3 king — npon learning from 
 the men and tenants in Whervedale, by their petition before him and his 
 council, that the country of Whervedale was disafforested by the said 
 charter, and that the constable of Queen Isabella's castle of Knaresburgh 
 and keeper of her forest there have exacted puture from the said men 
 and tenants by reason of their lands in Whervedale as if they had been 
 within the forest of Knaresburgh, and have distrained them for this reason, 
 and have impeded them so that they cannot fell in their woods, assart their 
 soil there, or otherwise make their profit of their woods and soil, and have 
 amerced the men felling in the said woods, levying the amercements for the 
 said queen's use, and inflicting other oppressions and grievances upon them 
 daily — ordered the said constable and keeper to desist from inflicting 
 such exactions, distraints, and grievances upon the said men and tenants, 
 and to cause their foresters to desist, and to permit the men and tenants to 
 make their profit of the woods and soil aforesaid at their will without 
 hindrance, and not to intermeddle with anything pertaining to a forest and 
 foresters in Whervedale, contrary to the chartei' aforesaid, or to be before the 
 king in the octaves of Midsummer last to shew cause why they (sic) had not 
 obeyed his orders ; and it is now shewn to the king, on the part of Wilham, 
 archbishop of York, the abbot of Fountains, the prior of Boulton, Robert de 
 Insula, and Robert de Sancto Audoeno, men and tenants of Whervedale, that 
 although the constable and keeper at the said day answered in person before 
 the king that he {sic) had made no exactions, distraint*, or grievances, etc., 
 upon the men and tenants in any wise contrary to the charter aforesaid, but 
 had continued the seisin of the late king and of his progenitors and of other 
 lords of Knaresburgh of their free chace in Whervedale and of the charges 
 incumbent upon the said chace, both ior the keepers of the chace and for 
 other charges pertaining to the chace, in the same manner as the late king 
 and his prugeuitors and other lords of that honour had been wont by reason 
 of their free chace in Whervedale, and not by reason of the forest, from 
 time out of mind ; and although the .said archbishop, abbot, prior, Robert

 and Robert came before the kiug ou the said day, and asserted that the 
 king's said progenitor first afforested a part of the country of Whervedale, 
 and held that part in the forest for some time, and that ho afterwards dis- 
 afforested that part by his charter, and that before his lime there was 
 never a free chace or forest there, and that after he had disafforested the 
 said part there was no free chace or forest there, and that no exactions or 
 extortions were made upon the men and tenants there by reason of the free 
 ■chtice or forest, until one William de Irreby, sometime constable of that 
 castle, in the time of Henry III., to wit in the 28th year of his reign, first 
 exacted and extorted, of his own deed and wrong, puture from the men and 
 tenants of Whervedale by reason of their lands and tenements in Wherve- 
 dale, and distrained them, and hindered them from felling in their woods 
 there, assarting their soil, and making their profit of the woods and soil, and 
 that these exactions and extortions were continued by the constable and 
 ministers of the castle until the present king ordered thera to desist, as is 
 aforesaid, and that there was never before the tiiae of the king's said 
 progenitor a free chace or forest there, and tbat no enactions or extortions 
 were made upon the said men and tenants by reason of a chace or forest in 
 any other way than is above said, and they offered to verify the prem'ses in 
 the ways and manners that the court shall consider, nevertheless the aforesaid 
 justices have deferred proceeding to the final discussion of the matter afore- 
 said ; wherefore they have prayed the king to provide a remedy : the king 
 therefore orders the justices to proceed in the matter aforesaid, and to cause 
 to be done therein what ought to be done of right and according to the law 
 and custom of l^e realm.

 minster, as the manor was taken into the late king's hands by reason of the 
 quarrel of Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, the king having lately ordered 
 Simon de Grymesby, escheator this side Trent, not to intermeddle further 
 with the said manor, which was held of the said John by Robert de 
 Rithere, deceased.

 his butler, 90/., to be paid at Easter next following, as appears by the tenor 
 of the recognisiince, which the king has caused to come before him in chan. 
 eery ; and the king, at the petition of the aforesaid men before him and hia 
 council in parliament — suggesting that they were compelled by Hugh le 
 Despenser, the younger. Master Robert de Baldok, and Robert de Holden, 
 in the late king's time, to come to Porcestre castle, and to stay there until 
 they had bought 30 tuns of the late king's wines in the castle for 90/., at 
 which they were, it is said, appraised, and until they had made a recog- 
 nisance to the late king and to Stephen, and that the said wines were so putrid

 of 34/., the manor of Stanvord, co. Berks, as of the yearly value of 130/., 
 the mauor of Rotherisfeld, co. Sussex, as of the yearly value of 106/., and 
 he is given to understand on Alesia's behalf that the manor of Stanvord is 
 in the seisin of Henry, earl of Lancaster, the manor of Rotherisfeld is in 
 the seisin of Hugh Daudele, and the manor of Berton is of the inheritance 
 of the heir of John de Berewyk, who is now of full age, and she has prayed 
 the king to cause the value of the aforesaid manors to be assigned to her 
 out of the manors, hundreds, and ferms contained in a schedule, which the 
 king sends to them enclosed in the presents, and out of other manors, lands 
 and rents in the king's hands : the king therefore orders the treasurer and 
 barons to cause the value aforesaid to be assigned to her as above by letters 
 patent under the exchequer seal, so conducting themselves in this behalf 
 that renewed complaint may not come to the king, certifying the king of 
 the manors, hundreds, lands, ferms, and rents assigned to her, and of the

 lands in the king's hands, notwithstanding any orders from the king or his 
 father to deliver them to Richard's heirs, and to cause them to be kept 
 safely until otherwise ordered, and to inform himself fully concerning tlie 
 king's right herein, after deliberation with the chancellor, treasurer, and 
 others of the king's council of those parts, by inquisitions and by other 
 means, and to certify the king with all speed of such information, together

 To the same. Order to cause, immediately upon sight hereof, all mag

 Irish enemies and rebels, or their bailiffs to be warned to cause their castles 
 and lands to be so kept in strength against the attacks of the said enemies 
 that damage or peril may not arise to the king or to them or to his subjects 
 in that land through their default, and if they neglect to do so after being 
 warned, the justiciary is to cause the castles and lauds to be kept out of the 
 issues of the same, as shall seem fit for the salvation of that land and as 
 was usually done at another time, as the king understands how the 
 Irish enemies and rebels have wasted and do waste his lands and

 England, because sufficient resistance against them is not ordained by the 
 said magnates. By K. & C

 Irish, wherein men-at-arms were wont to stay to restrain the attacks of the 
 Irish when the temporalities of the archbishopric were in the late king's 
 hands, was destroyed and thrown down through the default of the keepers 
 thereof, whereby the Irish are encouraged to commit arson and other evils 
 upon the king's people in those parts, and have now wasted divers of the 
 king's lands there, and do waste the same from day to day ; the king orders 
 the justiciary to have advice with the chancellor, treasurer, and others of 
 the king's council in those parts whom he shall think fit to convoke, and to 
 cause inquisition to be made by the oath of men of those parts by whose 
 default the castle was destroyed and thrown down, at what time, etc., and

 York in the port of Hull, and to permit the archbishop to have the same 
 prises without impediment {for the reasons given at page 51 above), and 
 he has done nothing in the matter, wherefore the king again ordered him to 
 amove his hand Erom the said prises, or to be before the king in the 
 octaves of Holy Trinity last to shew why he contemned the king's orders 
 aforesaid ; at which day he came before the king, and asserted, on the 
 king's behalf, that he was prepared lo shew by divers reasons that the 
 prises of wines in the said port pertain to the king as of the right of his 
 crown and not to the archbishop ; to which the archbishop alleged before 
 the king that Rishard had day before the king only to answer to the king 
 for the contempt aforesaid, adding that the consideration by reason whereof 
 the king's order was issued had been agreed upon in parliament, and that it 
 ought not to be revoked elsewhere than in parhament, and that he ought not 
 to answer to the king concerning his right to the said writ in this behalf 
 until he should be replaced in possession of the prises according to the form 
 of the consideration ; and the king afterwards ordered Geoffrey le Scrop 
 and his fellows, justices to hold pleas before him, by writ of privy seal to be 
 so advised in proceeding in this matter that nothing should be done to the 
 king's prejudice or the disinheritance of his crown, and that if there were 
 any doubt, they should shew it before the king and his council, so that the 
 king, being fully informed concerning his right in this matter, may proceed 
 the more advisedly and securely to the final discussion of thi^matter; and

 chancellor, ordering him to convoke all the king's council in chancery, and 
 there, aftet the record and process have been recited, to do justice further in 
 the matter; and afterwards the archbishop and Richard came before the 
 chancellor and H. bishop of Lincoln, the treasurer, and the justices and 
 others of the council assembled in chancery, and, after the i-ccord and 
 process had been recited, Richard said as before that the prises pertain to 
 the king as the right of his crown, and not to the archbishop, adding that 
 manifest errors had intervened in the record and process had in parliament, 
 to which the archbishop answered as before that Richard had day only to 
 answer to the king for contempt, asserting that he ought not to answer to 
 any reasons concerning his right to the prises or to any errors that there 
 may be until he be placed in possession of the prises aforesaid by virtue of 
 the said consideration, wherein the king's right is saved in all things, and 
 that it may not be determined by warrant of the said writ to Richard : as 
 the consideration was made in parliament, fioni which consideration 
 emanated the writ to Richard to make execution, and because Richard had 
 day only to answer to the king for his contempt, siud the king's right is 
 saved both in the consideration and in the writ, and it cannot be detei'mined 
 by this writ, and it is not consonant with right or reason that the archbishop 
 should answer to the king upon his right in the premises bt'fore he be 
 placed in possession of the aforesaid prises in the same manner as was 
 considered in the parliament aforesaid, saving always the king's right, it 
 seems to the whole council that the making of execution according to the 
 consideration is not to be superseded in this behalf, the king now orders 
 Richard to remove his hands from the prises, and to permit the archbishop 
 to have them without hindrance, according to tlie tenor of the king's orders 
 aforesaid, saving the king's right in all things. He is informed that he is 
 grievously amerced for not executing the king's orders aforesaid, and that 
 the king will punish him if he do not execute this order fully.

 July 26. To the mayor and sheriffs of London. The king understands from the 
 
 Tudhoe. frequent complaint of divers men that many malefactors and disturbers of the 
 peace in that city binding themselves together lie in wait for the justices and 
 servants of the king's Bench, the barons and clerks of the exchequer, and 
 other subjects of the king coming to the city and dwelling there, and wander 
 about the city by day and night in armed force, beating, wounding, and 
 maiming certain of the king's subjects for pay at the procurement of others, 
 taking, imprisoning, and maltreating certain others, extorting from them, 
 under threats of death, grievous and intolerable ransoms, and perpetrating 
 divers homicides, robberies, and thefts, and other evil-deeds daily, in con- 
 tempt of the king's peace, etc., and although he has frequently ordered the 
 mayor and sheriifs to provide a remedy and to make due punishment of the 
 malefactors, as pertains to them, they have not yet done anything, where- 
 fore it is feared that more grievous evils and perils may arise to the kin" 
 and his people unless a remedy be quickly provided : the king therefore 
 orders the mayor and sheriffs to cause inquisitions to be made by the oath 
 of men of the city and suburbs concerning the names of such malefactors 
 and tlieir evil deeds without delay, laying aside all excuses, and to cause 
 all those found guilty by the said inquisitions to be taken and kept safely 
 in prison until the king shall make further order. They are enjoiiied to 
 cause these things to be done and fulfilled, as they tender the honour

 said Nicholas died in the time of James de Berkeley, late bisliop of that 
 place, and Robert, as his next heir and of full age, did to the bishop what 
 he ought to have done for the lauds thus held of the bisliop, and eutered the 
 lands during the bishop's life, and held them peacefully, nevertheless the 
 king, at the prosecution of certain persons wishing to aggrieve Robert, 
 asserting in chancery that Nicholas held of the king in chief, ordered the 
 escheator to take into his hands all the lands whereof Nicholas was seised 
 at his death in his demesne as of fee, and to cause the same to be kept 
 safely until further orders, and to cause inquisition to be made concerning 
 the lands held by Nicholas in chief, etc., by reason whereof the lands are 
 still detained in the king's hands, wherefore Robert has prayed the king to 
 amove his hand from the said lands, since it is found by the inquisition that 
 Nicholas held no lands at his death in chief of the king, but that he held of 
 the said bishop certain lands in Blakeden by the courtesy of England of 
 the inheritance of Agatha, his late wife, by knight service, and certain 
 other lands in his demesne as of fee of otlier lords by divers services, and 
 that Robert is his next heir and is of full age : the king therefore orders 
 the escheator not to intermeddle further with the said lauds, and to restore 
 the issues thereof to Robert, if he find by inquisition to be taken by him or 
 otherwise ttiat the premises are true.

 Mareschal, tenant in chief of the late king, a minor in the king's wardship,

 until the king should provide him with lands of the value of 100/. yearly

 Ela, late the wife of John le Mareschal, tenant in chief of the late king, in 
 dower amongst other fees of the said John, one knight's fee in Aldeby, in

 the sniil Ela, and to Ela the lands that the aforesaid Joan held of them by 
 reason of Ela's dower, together with the issues received therefrom by the 
 escheator ; and the king now learns from John .Uarcy that the escheator 
 has erroneou-ily delivered the manor of Aldeby to Robert and Ela under 
 pretext of the said order: as it is found by an inquisition taken by the 
 e<!cheator that Joan held the manor of Aldeby for life of Hawisia's iuherit- 
 anee, and that it is held of the king in chief as parcel of the barony of the 
 manor of Rye, and that William son of Hawisia is her next heir of the 
 manor, the king orders the escheator to resume the manor of Aldeby into

 of David de Sirabolgi, son and heir of David de Strabolgi, late earl of 
 Athole, tenant in chief of the late king, although the king lately ordered him 
 to cause David to have seisin of the lands that his father held in his demesne 
 as of fee and of the lands that his father held by the courtesy of England 
 of the inheritance of Joan, his wife, the king having taken David's homage 
 and rendered the lands to him although he was not of full age, as it was 
 not, and is not, the king's intention that those to whom he had granted the 
 custodies of manors or lands of the said inheritance during David's minority 
 shall he amoved from the custodies until David come of full age. If the 
 escheator have delivered the aforesaid lands to David by virtue of the said 
 order, he is to cause ihem to be resumed into the king's hands, and to be

 for the late king's use for the expenses of the Scotch war, and they sought 
 out divers ways for providing the money, but found no men at that time 
 who would make a loan of victuals or money, except the mayor, aldermen, 
 and certain men of the city whose names are contained in a roll in the 
 possession of the treasurer and chamberlains in the exchequer, who, by 
 urgent request, delivered 1,000/. to the treasurer and chamberlains for the

 aldermen, and men that the said sum should be paid to them before All 
 Saints following by all means, but payment was not made before that feast, 
 by reason whereof great outcry came to the late king, who therefore granted

 use for aids and tallages or for any other cause, to be received by the hands

 and all issues levied by summons of the exchequer within the city and

 deacon of Richmond, and that the bishop owed to the king 95/. lis. 0\d. of 
 the arrears of his account for the time when he was collector of a subsiJy of 
 5d. in the mark granted to the late king, ordei'ed the treasurer and barons 
 to cause allowance to be made to the bishop of the former sum in the sum 
 due to the king, nevertheless they have deferred making the said allowance 
 because the bill is sealed with the bishop's seal of the time when he was 
 keeper of the wardrobe : the king therefore orders them to allow to the 
 bishop the sum due to him according to the king's prior order, notwith- 
 standing that the bill is sealed with his seal of the time when he was keeper

 this matter ; but as it was previously ordained by the prelates, proceres, 
 and magnates of the realm that the exchequer and Bench should be amoved 
 as is aforesaid, and it seems to the king and his whole council that it will 
 be necessary for the ordinance to remain in force, he signifies the premises 
 to the mayor, aldermen, sheriffs, and community, and orders them to aid 
 the king's ministers coming to London for the aforesaid exchequer and 
 Bench and the rolls, memoranda, and other things pertaining to them, in 
 order that the said ministers may execute without impediment what the

 late parson of the church of Preston and all his predecessors, parsons of that 
 church, had been seised from time out of mind in their demesne as of the 
 right of their church of a bovate and six acres of land in Coule until the 
 10th year of the said king's reign, and that William Tuchet, in that year, 
 disseised the said Robert of the same unjustly and without a judgment, and 
 that the land was taken into the late king's hands with other lands of the 
 said William because he adhered to Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, and it 
 is still in the king's hands ; wherefore Edmund de Grymesby, now parson 
 of the said church, has besought the king by his petition before him and 
 council at Westminster to cause the land to be delivered to him as the right 
 of his church ; to which petition it was answered by the council that 
 Edmund should sue at common law for the land against William's heir, 
 who had been restored to his inheritance in parliament ; and afterwards 
 Edmund gave the king to understand that the heir did not care to sue the 
 land out of the king's hand, so that he could not have process against the 
 heir according to the answer to his petition, and he has prayed the king to 
 provide a remedy; and the king therefore ordered the sheriff of Buckingham 
 to warn Richard Tuchet, brother and heir of the said William, to be before 
 the king in chancery on the morrow of the Assumption last, to shew cause 
 ■why the land should not be delivered out of the king's hands to Edmund as 
 the right of his church ; and the sheriff warned Richard accordingly, as he 
 returned before the king at the said day, when Richard appeared in person 
 before the king and asserted that he had no right in the land, affirming that 
 it was the frankalmoin of the church aforesaid, and prayed the king to 
 deliver the land to Edmund as the right of his church in discharge of the 
 soul of his brother, the taid William : the king therefore orders the keeper 
 to dehver the land to Edmund or his attorney, if it be in the king's hands 
 solely for this reason. By pet. of C.

 late king's hands, but that John Walewayn, the late king's escheator this

 Alesia, who held them to her and lier heirs in fee of the said king in chief, 
 demised them while she was single to John Talbot, to have during his good

 because it appeared to him by the rolls of the late king's chancery that the 
 said king rendered the constabulary and bailey to Alesia from 20 September,

 not to intermeddle further with the constabulary and bailey and to restore

 acquired full and peaceful seisin of the said land long before the publication 
 of the statute of mortmain, and that the escheator took them into the king's 
 hands asserting that the prior had acquired them after the publicjition of 
 the statute, the king ordered the escheator to make inquisition concerning 
 the premises, and it is found by the inquisition that Walter, sometime prior 
 of that place, acquired 40 acres of the said land to him and his house in fee 
 from Roger de Colevyle and the other 4 acres from Geotfrey de Ludescye

 and of his lordship, power, and jurisdiction, entered the ship whilst lying at 
 anchor in the port on Sunday before Lent, 1321, by force and arms whiUt 
 John and his fellows were absent in the town in order to buy victuals, and

 ship to keep it, and broke open the chests of the merchants and mariners 
 of the ship, and took and carried away 800 golden florins of the lamb, price 4s. 
 each, and 20/. sterling, the late king requested the abbot to cau.se restitution 
 and satisfaction to be made to the merchants, and because the abbot did not 
 do so, as appears by the letters patent of the constable, bailiffs, and commu- 
 nity of Scardeburgh, he ordered the sheriff of Sussex to arrest goods and 
 ware^ of the men and merchants of the lordship, power, and jurisdiction of 
 the abbot to the value of 100/. sterling; and John has given the king to 
 understand for him and his fellows, by his petition before the king and his 
 council in the late parliament, that the aforesaid order has not yet been 
 executed, and he has prayed the king to cause it to be executed, asserting 
 that the goods and wares thus taken came to the abbot, and are stiil 
 detained by him ; the king therefore ordered the sheriff to warn the abbot 
 or his proctor to be before the king in chancery in three weeks from Eastw 
 last to shew cause why the said writ should not be executed, and the sheriff 
 has returned that he warned the abbot; at which day the said lohn, lor 
 himself and his fellows, and the abbot by his attorney came into chancery ; 
 and, the matter being adjourned by their consent until a month from 
 Michaelmas, the said John and the abbot by James de Kyngeston, his 
 attorney, came info chancery at Lenton at that time, and John prayed to 
 have execution of the arrest on the goods and chattels of the abbot and of 
 his men, and the abbot said nothing why such execution should nut be 
 made, wherefore it was considered that execution shall be made accordingly :

 late king (or its issues of the time of the last voidance, to wit from 11 April, 
 in the 11th year of the late king's reign, until 18 July, in the 13th year of 
 his reign, as appears by the account of Master Richard de Clare, then 
 escheator, and by other evidences of that time exhibited to the escheator, 
 wliich reason the king considers insufficient because tl»e late king afterwards 
 restored the temporalities wholly to the present prior, according to the law

 and that the reversion of the manor after Bartholomew's death was assigned

 entered the manor ns her right and inheritance, the king ordered the late 
 sheriff to supersede until further orders the execution of the order to take 
 the posse of the county and to deliver the manor to Margaret, late the wife

 the deliverv of her lands to her, no specification being made therein of the 
 afores;iid manor, to resume the manor into the king's hands, and to deliver 
 it to her, and to amove Hugh and Margaret his wife therefrom, wherefore 
 tliey have prayed the king to provide a remedy, especially as they are pre- 
 pared to verily their right therein in the king's court: the king therefore 
 orders the sheriff to supersede until further orders the execution of the said

 the goods extended ; and the king now learns that the escheator, asserting 
 that it was determined in the late parliament at Westminster that Walter 
 was a traitor to the king anil his realm, wherefore his goods pertained to 
 the king as forfeited, ordered his sub-escheators, without special order from 
 tlie king, to arrest all the sown corn of the bishop in their bailiwicks and 
 liis other goods and chattels, and to cause them to be kept safely, so that 
 they might answer to the escheator for them, at which order the king is

 concerning tenements in Stepelclaydon ; and afterwards, at Elizabeth's 
 suggestion that John alleged in pleading that he held the tenements put in 
 view for his life by the deed of Hugh le Despenser, the elder, and that they 
 ought to revert to the king after his death by reason of Hugh's forfeiture, 
 wherefore the justices deferred proceeding to take the assize, the king 
 ordered them to proceed to take the assize notwithstanding this allega- 
 tion, provided that they did not proceed to render judgment without 
 consulting the king ; and afterwards, because it appeared by the said 
 deed, shewn before the king in chancery, that Hugh granted the manor 
 of Stepelclaydon, which was placed in view, to the aforesaid John 
 for life, whereby the reversion peitains to the king by reason of Hugh's 
 forfeiture, the king ordered the justices to supersede the taking of the 
 assize until the treaty held at Lincoln on the morrow of the Exaltation of the 
 Holy Cross last, so that he might then cause to he done what should seem 
 good after deliberation, and the justices superseded the taking of the assize 
 accordingly ; and afterwards, at Elizabeth's petition before the king and his 
 council in the said treaty, the king ordered the justices to proceed to take 
 the assize notwithstanding John's allegation and the king's previous order, 
 provided that they did not proceed to render judgment without consulting

 Nov. 19. To the sheriffs of London, Whereas at the prosecution of Alan Gille, 
 
 Pontefract. Robert le Roper, and Adam Strangswere, citizens of that city, suggesting 
 that William de Kauntepy, merchant of Cretey, of the power of the king of 
 France, loaded at Cretey a ship of his called ' La James ' of Cretey with 
 wheat and other victuals, in order to carry tiie same to the duchy [of 
 Aquitaiue], and that Reymund Spyan of Bayonne and other malefactors, his 
 accomplices, entered the ship at sea by armed force, and took the ship 
 and goods and victuals and brought them to the Pool (La Pole) of London, 
 and when William followed Reymund and his accomplices to the Pool, they, 
 fearing they would be there convicted of the robbery aforesaid, gave the 
 ship to the late king, so that might thns conceal (cooperirent) their deed, 
 the custody of which ship the late king committed to the said Reymund, 
 and that William did not obtain delivery of the ship, although he prose- 
 cuted against the late king for it, wherefore the king of France, at his 
 suit, caused three ships of the said Alan, Robeit, and Adam, laden with 
 divers sorts of corn and victuals to the value of 80/., to be arrested in 
 the town of St. Valery, and caused tliem to be delivered to Willi.im in 
 recompence for his aforesaid chip, the king ordered the mayor of London 
 and the aforesaid sheriffs to inquire the truth of the premises; and it is 
 found by the inquisition taken in the matter that the aforesaid ship was 
 taken at sea about tlie Purification, in the 17th year of the late king's 
 reign, by Reymund and other malefactors unknown, who brought her to 
 the Pool in the port of London, and gave her to the late king, vi-ho com- 
 mitted the custody thereof to Reymund, and thus she came again to 
 Reymund's hands, and that she is worth with her tackle 50/., and that 
 she was afterwards attached by the sheriffs at the suit of Alan, Hobert, and 
 Adam, and is still in the sheriffs' custody, and that about Midsummer, in 
 tlie aforesaid year, the aforesaid three ships, laden with corn and other 
 victuals to the value of 80/., were arrested in the town of St. Valery by 
 order of the king of France at William's suit, and were dehvered to him ia 
 satisl'action of the ship aforesaid ; and it also appears by the letters patent 
 of tlie mayor and echevins of the town of St. Valery sent to the mayor and

 To the sheriff of Norfolk and Suffollc. The burgomasters, echevins, 
 consules, and community of the town of Bruges have signified to the king 
 by their letters that certain burgesses of that town lately loaded two ships 
 of Flanders, the master of one being John de Turnay of Sluys (Escluse) 
 and of the other John Babbard, with their goods and wares, for the pur- 
 pose of carrying them to divers parts to trade therewith, and that certain 
 uieu of Great Yarmouth, pretending that the goods in the ship belonged to 
 men of Scotland, which they did not, entered the ships by armed force as 
 they were sailing by the sea coast near Great Yarmouth, and took and car- 
 ried away the goods and wares aforesaid, which they detain, contrary to the 
 truce between the king and the men of Flanders, which goods and wares and 
 ships are still under arrest within the sheriff's bailiwick, as the king is given 
 to understand, wherefore the burgomasters, t'chetnns, consules, and community 
 have prayed the king to cause the goods to be delivered to Nicholas de 
 Leek, their fellow-bnrgess, v/hom they have sent to the king in this behalf: 
 the king therefore orders the sheriff to cause all the goods and wares afore- 
 said arrested in his bailiwick that Nicholas can prove to belong to the 
 burgesses of the said town to be released together with the said ships, and 
 to cause them to be delivered to Nicholas, notwithstanding that men of 
 Scotland or their goods and wares were then in the same ships. If any of 
 the said goods have been eloigned, the sheriff is to cause inquisition to be 
 made concerning them, and to cause them or iheir price to be delivered to 
 Nicholas, so far as he can prove that they belonged to the said burgesses, 
 certifying the king of his proceedings. It is provided that the goods and 
 chattels belonging to men of Scotland that were arrested on this occasion 
 shall be kept safely without diminution until further orders. By K. & C.

 To the treasui'er and barons of the exchequer. Master William de 
 Weston has shewn the king that whereas the late king sent him to parts 
 beyond sea for the expedition of his affairs there, and he received 50 marks 
 in the late king's court before the barons of the exchequer, in the 19th year 
 of the reign, from the late king's treasurer by way of imprest made to him 
 by the treasurer and chamberlains, to be paid by him at a certain term now 
 past, and the treasurer and barons have now ordered this sum to be levied 
 from his goods and eccle.siastical benefices in the diocese of Lincoln by the 
 bishop for the king's use, and he expended more than this sum in the afore- 
 said aflfiiirs, as will appear by his account, which he is prepared to render 
 before the treasurer and barons, and he has prayed the king to cause the 
 levy of the said 50 marks to be superseded until he have accounted 
 before the treasurer and barons for the expenses aforesaid : the king there- 
 fore orders them to audit William's account, and if, after the rendering of 
 the account, they find that this sum or any part thereof is due to the king 
 from William, to cause to be done concerning the arrears what they shall 
 see fit, superseding until Easter next the levy of the aforesaid 50 marks, 
 unless William account therefore in the meantime. By K.

 they, pretending that he could not keep the town by reason of weakness 
 and infirmity, have ordered him, by writ of the exchequer witnessed by the 
 treasurer, to be before them and others of the king's council at York as 
 speedily as possible to hear and receive what shall be ordained concerning 
 the custody by the king's council ; whereat the king is astonished, especially 
 as such writs ought not to issue from the exchequer without his knowledge, 
 and as Robert is not bound to answer at common law for the freehold that 
 he has therein according to the aforesaid grant without the king's wi'it.

 Jan. 12. To Simon de Grymesby, escheator this side Trent. Whereas the king, on 
 
 Clipstone. 9 June last, committed to Robert de Clipston the custody of the manor and

 have received heretofore for that custody, and the king has now committed 
 to him the custody of the manor and park of Clipston during pleasure, so 
 that he shall maintain the manor at the king's cost and the paling of the 
 park at his own cost, receiving for the latter timber from dry wood in the 
 park and taking Id. a day for himself, the parkers, and makers of the paling 
 aforesaid from the escheator this side Trent ; and although the king has 
 ordered the escheator by divers writs to cause as much to be paid to Robert 
 for the said custody as other keepers received, the escheator has nevertheless 
 deferred paying Robert anything, because it was not evident to him how 
 much other keepers were wont to receive for the same, and Robert has 
 therefore prayed the king to cause his wages for the custody to be paid to 
 him, as he, by himself and his servants, has kept the park together with the 
 manor and peel from the said 9 June, and has repaired the paling : the king 
 therefore orders the escheator to pay him 7c?. a day from 9 June for himself,

 the king's hands by reason of the minority of William, son and heir of 
 Hawisia, one of the daughters and heiresses of William le Marsschal, tenant 
 in chief of the late king, a minor in the king's wardship, to have during the 
 king's pleasure as of the value of 200 marks yearly, until the king should 
 provide him with lands of the value of 100/. yearly for life, to have for his

 rolls of chancery that the late king assigned to Ela, late the wife of John le 
 Mareschal, tenant in chief of the late king, in dower among other fees of 
 the said John, one knight's fee in Aldeby, in the aforesaid county, which 
 Joan, late the wife of William Rosselyn, held, which Joan is now dead, the

 lands that the aforesaid Joan lield of them by reason of Ela's dower, and

 reason of the assignment of dower aforesaid, and if of the king, by what 
 service, and whether the manor ought to remain to the aforesaid VVilliam 
 son of Hawi^'ia by virtue of the tine aforesaid, and whether the custody 
 thereof ought to pertain to the king by reason of the heir's minority, and 
 wh:it is the heir's age; and if he find that the manor is held of the kinp, 
 and that the custody thereof ought to pertain to the king by reason of the 
 heir's minority, he is tlien to resume the manor into the king's hands, and

 therein, if they think tit.

 to send the perambulations to be made by tliem into chancery before Christ-

 metes and bounds in the said inquisitions by pretext of certain inquisitions

 Memorandum, that on Wednesday before St. Peter ad Viucula, 1 Ed-

 YorJ!, wherein queen Isabella was lodsed, in the presence of the archbishop 
 and of J. bishop of Ely, the chancellor, and H. bishop of Lincoln, the 
 treasurer, and J. bishop of Winchesler, Geoffrey le Scrop and others of the 
 king's council, Nicholas de Langeton, mayor of the city of York, and 
 Nicholas de Sexdecim Vallibns, the clerk of the city, sought in person from 
 the archbishop that he would cause his place called ' the old bailey ' to be 
 kept at his charge against the Scots, in the same way as they cause the 
 walls of the city to be kept, asserting that he and his predecessors were 
 wont to keep and guard that place in time of war in the past; and the 
 archbishop asserted that the mayor and community of York hold the city of 
 the king at perpetual ferni, to be kept at their peril both in time of war 
 and in peace, no place within the city being excepted, to wit neither the 
 bailey aforesaid nor any other place, and that the bailey is parcel of the 
 city aforesaid and is within the ditches of the city, and that he is not bound 
 to keep it, and that his predecessors were not wont to keep it, but that upon 
 another occasion, by reason of the great peril then threatening the city, he 
 caused that place to be enclosed, and placed certain men for the defence of 
 the same during the peril, and concerning this an indenture was made 
 between the archbishop and the mayor and bailiffs and community of the city, 
 containing that what the archbishop had thus done of his liberality and 
 grace should not prejudice him or his successors in the future, and should 
 not be drawn into a precedent ; and the mayor and clerk did not deny the 
 said indenture, but s.aid that the place afore.said is not parcel of the city or 
 within the ditches of the city, but that the ditches about the said place are 
 the archbishop's own ditches, and th:it the mayor and community of the city 
 liave not to intermeddle with that phice in any -way, and that the arch- 
 bishop and his successors ought to keep the place at their peril and [that he 
 and his predecessors] were wont to keep it at all times past. And after- 
 wards the archbishop, because the premises could not be then discussed and 
 determined, said that he would p'ace some of his men to keep the said place 
 upon this occasion, because of the stay of the queen and her son and 
 daughters within the city; provided that, if peril should threaten the 
 city from the Scots, the mayor and men of the city shall ordain for the 
 defence of that place with his men, as for the defence of the other places 
 of the city, as shall seem fit; provided also that what he thus does of his 
 grace at this time for the aforesaid reason .shall not prejudice him or his 
 successors in future. And the mayor and clerk granted that they will 
 ordain concerning the custody of the said place with the archbishop's 
 inen, if great peril shall threaten, as shall seem best for the security of the 
 city, and that what the archbishop thus does shall not prejudice him or his 
 church or his successors hereafter; saving the mayoi' and citizens their 
 claim in this behalf when they will speak concerning it. [Fu:dera.]

 another was substituted in his place, although he protested as much as he 
 was able that his resignation had been made l)y him under coercion and not 
 spontaneously. As it was ordained in the late piirliament at Westminster 
 that all persons who weie of the said quarrel shall be restored to their 
 possessions and things from which they were removed by reason of the 
 quarrel, the king, considering the good behaviour of Walter, who laboured 
 watchfully and dilieently about the relief of the estate of the priory when 
 he had the rule thereof, requests the prior of La Charite to restore Walter 
 to his possession of the aforesaid priory, according to the said statute, 
 having consideration of the fact that Walter at the time of the resignation 
 was in prison and in the hands of those from whom he could not escape 
 unless he obeyed their will in all things. The prior of La Charite is 
 enjoined to conduct himself so in this behalf that it shall not behove the 
 king to ordain another remedy through his default. The king hopes that 
 the estate of the priory of Bermundeseye, which is impoverished and 
 wasted for want of good government, will be improved by Walter's prudence 
 and will receive wliolesome increase. The prior of La Charity is desired 
 to write back b)- the bearer hereof what he will cause to be done in this 
 matter.

 cause that sum to be paid to the abbot hereafter, if they are bound to pay

 prior of Spaldyng and the convent for the settlement of divers disputes, 
 whereby the prior and convent of Spaldyng are bound to the abbot and 
 convent in 40/. yearly, to be paid to the abbot or his proctor at Spaldyng in

 this sum is an apportum by reason of certain words concerning an apportum 
 contained in the king's writ for delivery of the abbot's lands, etc., has 
 detained the aforesaid sum from the abbot from the time of the delivery of 
 the lands, etc., wherefore the abbot has prayed the king to provide a remedy. 
 The king makes this order because such a rent to be paid to any one at a 
 certain place within the realm ought not to be called an apportum. It is

 time when the abbot's lands were in the hands of him and his father.

 John de Tycheburn that Hugh le Desponser, the elder, unjustly disseised 
 William de Stotevill of the messuage, gardens, and land aforesaid, and that

 foundation {in fundationem) of the said abbey, to hold in frankalmoin free 
 and quit from all customs and worldly services, and the king lately, at the 
 prosecution of the present abbot by petition before him and his couucil, 
 —suggesting that although the manor is outside Queen Isabella's free chace 
 of Blakeburnshire, nevertheless Richard de Merclesdon, her chief forester 
 of that chace, and certain others of her ministers of that chace have exacted 
 puture from the .ibbot on Friday in every week by reason of the said 
 manor, endeavouring to charge him therewith, contrary to the tenor of 
 the sai<l charter — frequently ordered the aforesaid steward to cause the 
 exaction of the puture aforesaid to be superseded if the manor is outside

 not obey these orders ; and the steward has returned amongst other things 
 that although the manor is outside the said chace he dare not supersede the 
 exaction of the puture without consulting the king and Queen Isabella, 
 because he has enquired and learned from the said queen's ministers and by 
 others that the aforesaid Richard and the other foresters aforesaid and their 
 predecessors have been wont to receive the aforesaid puture from the abbot 
 and his predecessors at the said manor from old time, to wit in the time and

 one living who remembered any lord of the chace before John's time : the

 eyre in the Island of Jeresye and the a,djoining islands, the manor of 
 St. Clement in the said island, which place the abbot and his predecessors

 their abbey and not as a manor, and that the priory was taken into the 
 said king's hands in the name of a manor by order of the said justices, and 
 that it is still in the king's hands, and that although error intervened in the 
 record and process and in the taking aforesaid and the abbot prosecuted for 
 remedy in divers parlitunents of the late king, who caused the record and

 cerning the abbot's right to be made by them, and they returned the 
 inquisition and record and process before the late king, and the abbot here- 
 upon had adjournments there, nevertheless the abbot did not obtain justice 
 in this matter by reason of the diversity of the names of the priory and 
 manor and by reason of the disturbance in this realm, and for other 
 reasons— ordered the said Geoffrey and his fellows to examine the said 
 record and process and, if need be, the inquisition, and to proceed to correct 
 any errors found therein and to proceed to the full discussion of the matter, 
 provided that they did not proceed to render judgment without consulting

 as the late king — upon its being found by inquisition taken by Master John 
 Walewayn, late escheator beyond Trent, that .Tobn de Stotevill, tenant in 
 chief of the said king, held no lands in chief at his death, but that, long 
 before his death, he demised by the said king's licence the aforesaid manor, 
 which he held of the said king as of the honour of Reines, to the aforesaid 
 Hervey for life, and it appeared by an indented deed exhibited before the 
 said king in chancery by Hervey that John, on the last day of April, in the 
 7th year of the said king's reign, demised the manor to Hervey in form 
 aforesaid, and that Hervey should hold it for the first eight years with- 
 out doing any service or paying any rent to the said John or his heirs, and

 parts to enquire what sums remain in the hands of the miuisters and fer- 
 mors aforesaid, whose names Thomas will deliver to them at the exchequer,

 and that he died in the late king's faith and peace at Baumburgh, on Monday 
 after the Invention of the Holy Cross, 15 Edward II., and that Robert 
 son of Robert le Porter is his brother and next heir and is aged fifty, and 
 that neither Ralph nor Robert son of Robert remitted the land, meadow, 
 and custody to the king's grandfather or father or to Roger de Malberthorp, 
 who held them for life by demise fi-om Edward L, or changed their estate 
 therein in any way, aud that the land, meadow, and custody were in the 
 king's hands for this reason only, and that they are held of him by the 
 service of keeping the gate of the castle and of finding a watchman every 
 night in time of peace and war on a gate called ' Smythyate' in the castle, 
 and of rendering yearly 6s. Sd. to the king's exchequer of the cattle of

 the sheriff of Surrey to warn Robert son of Robert and Ela to be before 
 him in fifteen days from Martinmas, in the 19th year of his reign, to shew 
 cause why Robert son of William ought not to have seisin of the manor

 returned that he had warned Robert son of Robert and Ela accordingly, and 
 that they did not appear on the aforesaid day, it was considered that Robert

 said Geoffrey and his fellows, at the prosecution of Robert son of Robert 
 and Ela suggesting that they had not been warned as the sheriff returned, 
 caused the warners returned to the late king's said writ by the sherifl to

 said Adam and his adherents, by virtue of which commission the earl pur- 
 sued them, and caused them to be taken and put to death, and it is now 
 shewn to the king on behalf of Robert de Holand that certain of Robert's 
 rivals and enemies have maliciously procured his being indicted of the 
 death of the said Adam, Henry, Henry, and Roger, and, by process there- 
 upon had before the king, Robert is shortly to be put in exigent to be out-

 order by writ directed to the keeper of the s.dd forest, and died in posses- 
 sion thereof, nevertheless the present keeper refuses to render to the present 
 bishop the tilhe, wherefore he has prayed the king to provide a remedy, 
 and it appears by the rolls of chancery that the said king, in the 14th

 To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Whereas the king,

 rendering therefor 10/. yearly, and ordered the constable of the castle to 
 deliver it to John, saving to the king liis arms, victuals, and other goods 
 therein, and the constable has now besought the king to ordain for the sale 
 of the horses, oxen, corn, and other dead stores and goods in his custody,

 husband's lands • {as in the order of 4 February, page 250 above) ; and 
 afterwards, at the prosecution of Margaret, late the wife of Bartholomew, 
 by petition before the king and his council in parliament at Northampton 
 — suggesting that Gilbert de Clare, late earl of Gloucester, granted the 
 manor to Bartholomew and her for their lives, and that they were jointly 
 seised thereof by virtue of his grant until the late king caused the m.anor 
 to be taken into his hands together with the other lands of Bartholomew, 
 because he was of the quarrel of Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, and that 
 the sheriff deferred the execution of the king's orders in her favour because 
 the said Hugh and Margaret his wife had previously entered the manor, 
 asserting that it had been assigned to them as Margaret's purparty after 
 Bartholomew's death — the king ordered the sheriff to warn Hugh and 
 Margaret his wife to be before the king in chancery at the quinzaine of 
 Trinity last, which day he gave to Margaret, late the wife of Bartholomew ; 
 upon which day Htigh and Margaret his wife, and Margaret, late the wife 
 of Bartholomevv, appeared by their attorneys, and a furtlier day was given 
 them to appear in chancery, to wit Monday after St. John the Baptist last ; 
 at which day Hugh and iVIargaret his wife and Mar^'.aret, late the wife of 
 Bartholomew, appeared by their attorneys, and propounded their reasons 
 on each side, and, as it was found that the sheriff was ordered to supersede the 
 execution of the order directed to him at the prosecution of Margaret, late 
 the wife of Bartholomew, because Hugh and Margaret his wife asserted 
 that the manor was assigned to them as Margaret's purparty of the said 
 earl's land,s, and it is found in the rolls of chancery touching the purparty 
 that the manor was assigned to Hugh and Margaret after the death of 
 Bartholomew and Margaret his wife, and it was agreed in the parliament at 
 Westminster that ladies and widows whose lands, inheritances, joint- 
 acquisitions, or dowers were taken into the late king's hands by reason of 
 the quarrel aforesaid should have restitution thereof in the same manner as 
 those who were of the quarrel, the king orders the sheriff to take with him 
 the posse of the county, if necessary, and to resume into the king's hands

 inheritance, joint-acquisition or dower, that were taken into the late king's

 the manor, and the confirmation of Henry III., and the late king, to whose 
 hands the manor afterwards came, assigned to the abbot and convent 10/. 
 yearly from the ferm of the city of Norwich because he had granted the 
 manor to John de Claveryng for life without deduction of the said 10/., 
 and the king has granted the entire ferra of the city to Queen Isabella for

 Norwich, and John returned that he took the messuage into the said king's 
 hands because it was found by an inquisition taken before him that Roger 
 Hardyng, tanner, committed a felony for whicli he was hanged, and that he 
 had a messuage in Norwich, which he held on the day of his conviction of 
 the said king in chief, and tlie king afterwar s — upon learning from Philip 
 that the messuage was of the inheritance of Cleraencia, formerly Roger's wife, 
 and that Roger had nothing therein at the time- of the commission of the 
 felony except as husband of Clemencia, so h at he could not forfeit it — 
 ordered William Trussel, late escheator this side Trent, to make inquisition 
 concerning Roger's estate in the messuage, and the king learns by the 
 inquisition that the messuage was taken into the late king's hands by the 
 said John, and that it was in Roger's hands at the time of the commission 
 of the felony, and that Roger and Clemencia held the messuage at that time 
 to them and their heirs of the feoffment of Grerardin {Jerardini) le Wadder, 
 and that Roger had no other estate therein, and that the said Philip 
 acquired the messuage to him and his heirs of the aforesaid Clemencia, who 
 survived Roger and held the messuage, and it appears by a charter whereby 
 Rojer and Clemencia acquired the messuage from Gerardin, exhibited 
 before the king in chancery on Philip's behalf, that Rower and Clemencia 
 acquired the messuage in form aforesaid, and the king ordered the treasurer 
 and barons to examine the rolls whereby John rendered his account in the 
 exchequer of time when he was escheator and other memoranda touching his 
 account, and to certify the kiog of what they found concerning the cause of 
 the taking of the messuage into the late king's hands, and the king learns 
 by their certificate that the messuage was taken into the late king's hands 
 by John by reason of Roger's felony, wherefore Phihp has besought the 
 king to amove his hand from the messuage : the king therefore orders the 
 escheator to amove his hand from it, and not to intermeddle further 
 with it.

 Ralph de Gorges, lately deceased, held of Hugh certain lands in Wrockes-

 from all Ralph's lands because he held no lands in chief as of the crown, 
 whereby Hugh entered the said lands in Wrockeshale in name of wardship, 
 to hold until Ralph's heir came of age, nevertheless the escheator has taken 
 the lands in Wrockeshale iuto the king's hands, by pretext of an inquisition 
 of ofEoe taken before him, pretending that Ralph held at his death a third 
 of the manor of Braunton, co. Devon, of the said king, which he did not, 
 wherefore Hugh has prayed the king to provide a remedy : the king there- 
 fore orders the CGcheator to make inquisition whether the said third of the 
 manor is held of him in chief or of another, by what service, what is its 
 value, etc., and to send to him the inquisition. If Hugh find the escheator 
 security to answer to the king for the issues of the said lands in Wrockeshale 
 in case they ought to pertain to the king, the escheator is to deliver the 
 lands to him, together with the issues received therefrom.

 York to appoint certain men to survey the spiritualities and temporalities 
 of the abbot in that diocese wherefrom the tenth granted by the clergy of that 
 diocese used to be given, and to cause them to be taxed anew, so that the tenth 
 might be levied according to such new taxation, the abbot having suggested 
 that the spiritualities and temporalities of the abbey had been so wasted and 
 destroyed by the frequent comings of the Scots that they were insufficient 
 to levy the tenth therefrom according to the last taxation ; and although it 
 is found by the archbishop's certificate sent to the exchequer that the abbot's 
 goods had been so wasted and burnt by the Scots that they were insufficient 
 for tlie maintenance of the abbot and his brethren nowadays, and that many 
 of the brethren have been sent to other places by order of the late king and 
 of the present king, and that nothing is found there to be taxed whence 
 any tenth may be exacted or levied, nevertheless the collectors of the tenth 
 in the said diocese exact the tenth from the abbot, wherefore he has prayed 
 the king to provide a remedy : the king, pitying tlie poverty of the abbot 
 and convent and wishing to spare them in this behalf, orders the treasurer

 purpose, and although they wore no armour except two single {simplicibus) 
 aketons, to wit one each, and this only by reason of the dangers of the road 
 and not for the purpose of committing evil, the bailiffs nevertheless took 
 and imprisoned them with their goods, and still detain them and their 
 goods, hj virtue of the ordinance in the late parliament at Northampton 
 that no one shall go armed in fairs or markels or elsewhere, under pain of 
 imprisonment and loss of their arms, wherefore they have prayed the king

 tained in the form of the peace that it was the intention of the king of 
 Scotland and of his envoys and proctors that no prejudice should be dona 
 to the rights of the church in either realm by the treaty, and the king 
 understands that the king of Scotland has caused restitution to be made to 
 men of religion of this realm of their lands.

 where his progenitors received their ferms and rents in money whereof 
 
 four were worth one sterling, now eight pennies of tlie money current there

 tenures, which liberty they and their ancestors have always used and 
 enjoyed without impediment from the time of the making of the charters

 them outside the walls to divers men making plaint of debts, trespasses,

 survivor should possess the said lands wholly, protesting that he had not 
 given the said sums to the children and their mother for any other pur- 
 pose (alias), and they and their mother acquired therewith divers lands 
 in the island, nevertheless the said keeper's ministers caused the lands 
 to be seised into the king's hands after the death of one of the boys con- 
 trary to the law and custom of the islands, and they thus detain them in 
 the king's hands, — the king ordered the keeper to inform himself fully

 bastard is jointly enfeoffed of land and die, the portion falling to him of 
 right shall remain as escheat in the king's hands or in the hands of the chief 
 lords of whom it is held, notwithstanding any condition made amonTst 
 the bastards : the king, wishing to do what is just for the said children and 
 their mother, especially as it is not reasonable that all the lands and /ent 
 thus acquired shall be in his hands by reason of the death of the said 
 William, orders the keeper to retain in the king's hands the portion fallino- 
 to the said William, and to deliver the remainder to the said children and

 and to deliver any issues received thence to Robert de Sandford, to whom 
 the late king, on 24 May, in the 17th year of his reign, committed the 
 custody of the said lands, which Adam le Gayt held for life of the grant of 
 Edward I., for seven years following, rendering therefor 50s. yearly, as the

 to the canons any issues received therefrom, as Peter Chaceporc, keeper of 
 the wardrobe of Henry III., bought from Saer de Wahull all the latter's 
 land in Raveneston, with the chief messuage and advowson of the church of 
 that town, and after Peter's death they devolved by inheritance upon Hugh 
 Chaceporc, his brother and heir, and Hugh rendered them to Henry IILby 
 the assent and will of Walter de Waliull, son and heir of the said Saer, who 
 held them in chief of the said king immediately, and the said king, being 
 mindful of Peter's long service and continuoii.s labour in his service, and 
 that he died in his service, for the health of his soul and the souls of his 
 ancestors and heirs and for the health of the souls of the said Peter and of 
 Hugh de Vinnn[iaJ, his uncle, who had also long served him, and for the 
 health of the souls of their ancestors and heirs, granted the said land, 
 messuage, and advowson by his charier to the prior and canons regular of 
 St. Augustine about to dwell at Raveneston, in frank almoin, on condition 
 that one of them should celebrate in the priory [a mass] of the Virgin daily 
 and two of them should celebrate divine service for the souls of his ancestors 
 and for his soul, and for the souls of the said Peter and Hugh and other 
 faithful dead, and he willed that when the possessions of the prior and 
 canons increased, their number should be increased accordingly, and that 
 they should be intendent solely to the diocesan of the place and to no other 
 house of i-eligion in spii'itualities by reason of subjection, and he willed 
 that upon the voidance of the priory neither he nor his heirs nor any of 
 their bailiffs, although he was the founder and patron of the priory, should 
 have thereafter any administration of the goods of the priory, and should 
 not put their hands upon the custody thereof, but that the canons should 
 have the care and custody and administration of the goods pertaining to the 
 priory during voidance without impediment, so that neither he nor his heirs 
 nor their bailiffs should claim anything in the priory during voidance 
 except that the canons should seek licence of election from him or his heirs, 
 or from those to whom they should commit the custody of the realm if they 
 were outside the realm, and that after the election the assent of the king or 
 his heirs or those having the custody of the realm should be required, so 
 that the canons should not go out of the realm to seek licence to elect or to 
 receive royal assent to the election, but should freely elect a prior from 
 themselves, and should present the election for examination to the diocesan 
 in the manner of other conventual churches, who should make ordinance 
 concerning the election as required caconically, as is contained in the said 
 charter.

 otherwise delivered, which hundred was of old times annexed to the ferms 
 of the count}', and to retain it in the king's hands, so that he may answer to 
 the treasurer and barons for the ferm of the said old annexed ferm of the 
 county, because it was agreed in the late parliament at Northampton that 
 hundreds and wapentakes deli\ered by the king at ferm for term of life or 
 otherwise that were of old time annexed to the ferms of the county 
 shall be rejoined to the counties where the sheriffs are charged, and that 
 sheriffs and their heirs shall have allowance for times past, and that hence-

 the said counties.

 not take the messuage into the king's hands, but that "William Trussel, late 
 escheator this side Trent, delivered the messuage to Simon at the time of 
 his substitution as escheator, asserting that it was in the king's hands by 
 reason of the alienation that the late prior of St. Frideswide's, who held it 
 in chief of Edward I., made to the said Alice without licence of the said

 vice of rendering 20«. yearly and 8 hens at Christinas to the manor of

 the gift of John de Sanoto Laurencio, and certain lands in Nayleston near

 Dec. 1. To the sheriff of Cambridge. Whereas the king lately ordered him lo 
 
 Westminster, supersede until the Exaltation of the Holy Cross next the execution of the 
 king's late order to cause execution of the statute of Winchester to be made 
 as to 130^., the value of the goods of Eichard de Welleford and Geoffrey de 
 Weston, merchants of London, whereof they were robbed in the king's 
 highway between Arnyngton and Caxton, in the hundred of Stowe, in that 
 county, which order to supersede the king issued because he learned from 
 the men of the said hundred that many malefactors were taken and 
 imprisoned for the robbery within forty days of its perpetration at the suit 
 of the men of those parts, and were detained in prison at Cambridge, and 
 he ordered the mayor and bailiifs of Cambridge to certify him belore the 
 said feast of the names of the malefactors aforesaid, etc., and he ordered the 
 sheriff and the coroners of the county to send him the indictment, if one 
 had been made, for the robbery ; and the parties appeared by their attorneys 
 in chancery on the said day, and the king prefixed a day for them to be 
 before him in parliament at Salisbury on Sunday after the quinzaine of 
 Michaelmas last; at which day Richard and Geoffrey offered themselves by 
 John de Norton, their attornej', against the men of the hundred, and prayed 
 that execution should be made of the men's goods and chattels according to 
 the statute, and the king gave the parties a day to be before him in the 
 quinzaine of Martinmas last, because the men alleged that the returns of the 
 aforesaid writs addressed to the sheriff and coroners and to the said mayor 
 and baihffs were false ; and the king sent the inquisitions, together with 
 the sheriff's return and the returns of the coroners and of the mayor and 
 bailiffs sent before him in chancery, and the petition of the men exhibited 
 in chancery to Geoffrey le Scrop and his fellows, justices to hold pleas 
 before him, sub pede sigilli, and ordered the justices to inspect them and to 
 cause justice to be done to the said merchants according to the statute; at 
 which quinzaine the said merchants and the said men, to wit William 
 Avenel, knight, and certain other men of the hundred, appeared, and the 
 men said, as before, that the returns of the said writs were false, and that 
 Ealph le Thresshe and certain other thieves were taken and detained in 
 prison at Cambridge within forty days after the commission of the robbery, 
 and this they proffered to verify, wherefore a day was given them until the 
 morrow of the fourth day of the said quinzaine ; at which day the merchants 
 came, and the men of the hundred, being solemnly called, did not come, and 
 did not prosecute their verification aforesaid, and the merchants prayed that 
 execution may be adjudged to them according to the statute for the recovery 
 of their stolen goods and chattels, because it appears plainly by the returns 
 of the sheriff and the coroners and the mayor and bailiffs that no indictment 
 was made before the sheriff and coroners' for the robbery, and that no thief 
 was taken and imprisoned at Cambridge for the robbery within forty days 
 alter the commission of the robbery : as it was considered by the said 
 justices that the merchants shall return to chancery and there prosecute to 
 have execution for their goods, since the matter was sent out of chancery 
 before the king because the said men pretended their said verification in 
 chancery and did not prosecute it before the king, as appears by the record 
 and process of the whole matter remitted into chancery, the king orders 
 the sheriff to cause execution of the statute as to the said 1,30^. to be made 
 without delay, and to cause Richard and Geoffrey to have that sum, certify- 
 in the king in the octaves of St. Hilary of his proceedings.

 escheator, delivered it to him amongst other things, asserting that it was in 
 ' the king's hands by reason of the trespass committed by the abbot of

 a freeman and of free condition, acquired the land to him and the aforesaid 
 Hugh his son for their lives from Andrew Araori, after whose death William 
 Amori, his son and heir, quit-claimed the land to Hugh and to his heirs, 
 and that John de Croxford, the late subescheator in co. Oxford, took the 
 land into the king's hands because Hugh then held a villein's holding 
 (villenugium) of the abbot, understanding that Hugh was a bondman and 
 that the abbot had put his hand on the land, which he had not done. 
 
 To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer of Dublin. Order to cause

 before William de Ros and his fellows, justices of oyer and terminer in that 
 county, for divers felonies and trespasses, and who are placed in exigent at 
 the king's suit because they did not come before the justices to answer, as 
 the king has ordered the said William to send the indictments to him 
 because he wills that they shall be determined before him and not elsewhere, 
 and Thomas, Ralph, John, and Robert have come into chancery in person 
 and have found mainpernors to have them before the king in the octaves of 
 St. Hilary next to stand to right concerning the said indictments.

 Michael de Aune, keeper of the said forest and chace, felled a hundred oaks 
 of the king's wood in the forest, price 10/., and 80 acres of ' gorst,' price 
 10/., without licence and warrant alter the king's accession, and caused them 
 to be sold, and took the profit thereof for his own use, and that he likewise

 as to the value of the old money, so that the king may then cause ordinance 
 to be made concerning this matter, the king having lately ordered him to 
 take his ferms and rents to the value of the old money, whereof four made a 
 sterling, whereas eight pennies of the money now current there are not worth 
 a sterling, as the king learns from the complaint of the men of Jereseye that 
 they and their ancestors in the times of the king's progenitors have always 
 used such money in the islands as the men of Normandy used in those 
 parts, and that if the ferms and rents in the island be levied from them to

 March 5. To W. archbishop of York. Summons to attend a parliament at North- 
 York, ampton in three weeks from Easter next, as certain great and arduous affairs 
 were propounded in the parliament at York that could not then be deter- 
 mined by reason of the absence of the certain prelates and other magnates 
 and proeeres, and the king has ordained to have colloquy concerning these 
 and other matters with the archbishop and the other prelates, magnates, and 
 proeeres at Northampton at the aforesaid date. The king signifies that he 
 does not intend to admit any proctor for the archbishop or for any other 
 prelate or magnate, by reason of the arduous nature of the affairs aforesaid. 
 The archbishop is ordered to summon the <lean of his church of York and 
 the archdeacons of his diocese to be present at the said day and place, and 
 to summon the chapter of the said church and the clergy of his diocese to 
 attend by their respective proctors. As the matters to be treated in such 
 parliaments have been hindered heretofore because some of the magnates 
 came with a multitude of armed men, and the people of the parts where 
 the parliaments were held were damaged and aggrieved, the king wills and 
 orders that all persons of what estate or condition soever they may be 
 coming to the parliament shall come in due manner and without any such 
 multitude, under pain of forfeiting all that they may forfeit, so that the 
 affairs aforesaid may not be retarded, or the country be unduly charged,

 Thomas for the term of his life without the king's licence, and the king 
 afterwards — at Thomas's suggestion that the manor is held of William

 of presentation belonged to him, presented Roger Foliot, clerk, to the 
 bishop to that church, and the king afterwards, at Roger's suit, inhibited 
 the bishop from admitting any parson to the church until it should be 
 decided {discus/mm) in his court to which of them the advowson of the 
 church pertained, and Roger has acknowledged in chancery in person that 
 he has no right of presenting to the church upon this occasion, and has

 subjects in the court of France and elsewhere, and lately begun and still 
 pending, and in all uncompleted agreements, and all questions newly 
 arisen from wars, resistances, and rebellions, excesses and disobediences,

 he took the rent into the king's hands because the priory was void by the 
 deposition of John, then the prior, who was elected and installed prior of 
 St. Oswald's, and it appears by the late king's rolls in chancery that the 
 said king — upon its being found by inquisition taken by John de 
 Bolyngbrok, then escheator in cos. Warwick, Leicester, Nottingham, 
 Derby, and Lancaster, that Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, patron of 
 Bredon priory, which is a cell of the priory of St. Oswald, Nostell, or 
 any other patrons did not intermeddle in any way with the said cell or 
 with any issues or profits thereof in time of voidance, and did not receive 
 any issues and profits of the cell, and that the earl in his time and other 
 patrons in their time had a gatekeeper at the priory gate in such voidances, 
 who received his maintenance only from the canons, for an acknowledg- 
 ment of his lordship, without receiving any other profit — ordered the said 
 escheator not to intermeddle with the cell or anything pertaining to it, 
 beyond placing a gatekeeper there as aforesaid, and the king afterwards 
 restored to Henry, now earl of Lancaster, brother and heir of the said 
 Thomas, all the lands of the said Thomas with the advowsons of abbeys,

 To Roger de Mortuo Mari, earl of March, justice of Wales, or to him 
 who supplies his place in South Wales. Order not to intermeddle further 
 with the temporalities of the abbey of St. Dogmael's {Sancto Dogmaele), 
 in the land of Kemmeys in Wales, and to restore the issues thereof, as the 
 king — at the suit of the abbot, suggesting that William Martyn, the late 
 lord of the said land, and his ancestors were wont to take the temporalities 
 of the abbey into their hands upon each voidance, and were wont to restore 
 them to the future abbot after they had taken his fealty, without the king 
 or his progenitors intermeddling with the same in any way, and praying 
 the king to cause the temporalities to be restored to him, the temporalities 
 having been taken into the king's hands upon the death of brother John 
 le Rede, the late abbot, because the land of Kemmeys was in the king's 
 hands by reason of the minority of James son of Nicholas de Audeleye, 
 kinsman and co-heir of the aforesaid William, tenant in chief of the late 
 king — ordered the earl to make inquisition concerning the estate of William 
 and his ancestors in the abbey at the time of voidance and concerning 
 other articles touching the premises, and it is found by the inquisition taken 
 by him who supplies the earl's place that the lords of the land of Kemmeys, 
 founders of the abbey, were wont from the time of its first foundation to 
 take no issues of its temporalities, and ought not to take any issues, but 
 that after the death of each abbot there, the founders of the abbey were 
 wont to place a keeper there over the temporalities of the abbey, so 
 that he took nothing from the temporalities for the use of the founders, 
 but so that he might see that the issues of the temporalities were not 
 impaired, but were expended for the uses of the abbey, and that the keeper 
 should leave without taking any issues for the use of the founders when 
 the abbot was elected and confirmed and his fealty had been taken, and 
 that the king or his progenitors did not intermeddle in any way in any 
 voidances of the abbey, except in time of wardship by reason of the 
 minority of the lords of the land of Kemmeys, and the king considers that 
 he ought not to have any other estate in the abbey in the time of ward- 
 ship than the founders thereof have when they are of full age in time of 
 voidance. By p.s.

 all the lands that belonged to Walter de Selby, which were taken into the

 Evre, concerning the surrender of the castle of Mitford, to be examined by 
 his council, and it is found by such examination that covenants and Gon- 
 dii ions were made as stated in Walter's petition, and the king considers the 
 covenants and conditions and the surrender of the castle for the salvation of 
 those parts to have been very useful, and that Walter underwent damages 
 by imprisonment and otherwise against good faith and the form of the 
 covenants and conditions, and also that he has not been convicted of any

 Halle, Oxford, and tlie escheator lias returned that he had taken the

 stok, an hospital in honour of God and the Virgin Mary and of St. John the

 his own manor, in the same manner as other places founded by him and his 
 progenitors, and he received the lands, rents, and possessions thereof into 
 his protection, willing that they should be discharged and free of all service 
 and exaction, in which charter there is no express number of the chaplains 
 celebiating in the hospital, which is now called ' the chapel of St. John the 
 Baptist,' or of the poor men to be found there, and the warden has given 
 the king to understand that the messuages and lands are of the appurten- 
 ances of the lands wherewith the hospital was thus founded, and the warden 
 has prajed the king for remedy : the king therefore orders the escheator not

 ment, by indenture a plot of land called ' Wyldegrene' containing a carucate 
 of land, a fishery in Mersee, and 20*. of rent from the manor of Wolston,

 the king's progenitors gave the land, fishery, and rent to a certain abbot of 
 Shrewsbury, in order to find a monk celebrating divine service in the 
 chapel of Wyldegrene for the souls of the kings of England, and that the 
 present abbot withdrew the said chantry, and that the tenements are still in

 the aforesaid Peter, in 15 Edward I., demised to Thomas 15^ acres of 
 land in Ospreng, to him and his heirs for ever, rendejing therefor to Peter 
 and his successors 8 quarters of barley, and that the said Peter granted and

 into the king's hands, pretending that the dean and chapter appropriated 
 them after the publication of the statute of mortmain without licence from

 Talbot, to whom the king had committed the custody of the lands in the 
 parts of Tyndale that belonged to John ; and David de Strabolgi, earl of

 by charter to David de Strabolgi, late earl of Athole, father of the said 
 David, of whom David is the heir, the manor with the park and forest

 the keeper of the manor, which was then in his hands, that the abbot of 
 Westminster ought to receive and have from the manor the said yearly 
 rent, because it is held of him as chief, lord by the service of rendering that 
 rent yearly for all service, and that the abbot and his predecessors were 
 always geised of the rent aforesaid from time out of mind, as well by the 
 hands of the earl of Cornwall as by the hands of others who held the manor, 
 until the Annunciation, in the 6th year of the said king's reign, at which 
 time the manor came to his hands, since which time nothing has been paid 
 to the abbot — ordered the keeper of the manor to pay to the abbot the 
 arrears of the rent from the time when it came to his hands, and to pay the 
 rent thereafter, and the manor is now in Queen Isabella's hands for the 
 the term of her life, and the abbot has not obtained payment of the rent

 escheator this side Trent, to certify him of the reason for taking them into 
 the king's hands, and William signified that he did not take them into the 
 king's hands, but that Matthew Broun, the late king's escheator in 
 cos. Lincoln, Northampton, and Rutland took them into the said king's 
 hands because it was found by an inquisition of ofHce taken by him that 
 tlie abbot entered the tenements, which William Drury formerly held, after

 To John Mautravers, keeper of the Forest this side Trent. Whereas 
 the king, on 1 May, in the first year of his reign, — upop its being found by 
 John de Blumvill, his hite escheator in cos. Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridge, 
 Huntingdon, Kssex, and Hertford, that Thomas son of Richard de Clare at liis 
 death held of the late king in chief the stewardship of the forest of Essex, 
 by the service of Id. to the exchequer yearly, and that Margaret, late the 
 wife of Bartholomew de Badelesmere, aunt of the said Thomas, and Robert 
 son of Matilda, late the wife of Robert de Clifford, kinsman of the said 
 Thomas, are his next heirs, and that Margaret was then aged 40 years and 
 the said Robert was then under age — rendered to Margaret her purparty of 
 the stewardship and committed to her the custody of Robert's purparty 
 during his minority, in response to her petition, and ordered William 
 Trussel, then escheator this side Trent, to deliver to her the stewardship 
 aforesaid, taking from her security for her relief for her purparty; and, on 
 20 August following, the king took Robert's homage for the lands that 
 MatiMa his mother held at her death of the late king, and ordered Simon 
 de Bereford, escheator this side Trent, to cause Robert to have seisin of 
 his mother's lands : the king orders the keeper to deliver to Margaret and 
 Robert the stewardship aforesaid, and to restore to Margaret all issues of 
 her moiety thereof from the said 1 May, and to restore to Robert all the 
 issues of the other moiety from the said 20 August. 
 
 To Simon de Bereford, escheator this side Trent. Order not to inter- 
 meddle further with a hide of land called ' la Neulond ' in Neubury, and to 
 restore the issues thereof to the abbot of Preaux, as the king — at the abbot's 
 prosecution, suggesting that his predecessors acquired the hide long before 
 the publication of the statute of mortmain, and had hitherto held it peace- 
 fully, and that the escheator had taken it into the king's hands, pretendirg 
 that the abbot or the prior of Aston, his attorney in England, had acquired 
 the hide from Robert de Ludham, late parson of the church of Neubury, 
 after the publication of the statute without the king's licence — ordered the 
 escheator to make inquisition concerning the premises, and it is found by 
 the inquisition that neither tlie abbot nor the said prior nor other attorneys 
 of the abbot in England acquired the hide, which is now built upon, after 
 the publication of the statute, but that the abbot and his predecessors held 
 it peacefully from time out of mind. 
 
 To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer of Dublin. Whereas 
 Clement V. granted to Richard de Saneto Leodegario the archdeaconry of 
 Dublin, which was void by the death of Master John de Haveryng, the late 
 archdeacon, in the pope's court ; and the late king confirmed and accepted 
 the pope's gift of the archdeaconry to Richard, because he understood that 
 certain persons, pretending that the archdeaconry was void in his right in 
 the said court at the time when the temporalities of the archbishopric of 
 Dublin were in the hands of Edward I., molested Richard upon his posses- 
 sion of the archdeaconry under colour of the royal right of the late king, 
 and the late king willed that all processes begun in his name against Richard 
 concerning the archdeaconry by reason of the said right of Edward 1. should 
 be revoked and annulled ; and Richard has now given the king to under- 
 stand that a plea was moved between the late king in his court of Irelaua 
 against Richard and the dean and chapter of St. Patrick's, Dublin, for tins 
 that the dean and chapter should permit the said king to present a fit 
 person to the archdeaconry for the reason aforesaid, and that the dean and 
 chapter were amerced in 20A in that plea, which are exacted from them by 
 summons of the said exchequer: the king, having consideration to tlie 
 aforesaid grant and acceptance and to the revocation of all processes against 
 Richard concerning the premises, ordeis the treasurer and barons to .super-

 de Layburn, merchant, to pay customs on his wines brought into this realm

 that Richard and his ministers, asserting that William is an alien because he 
 has a wife residing in the king's city of Bordeaux, where he stayed for some 
 time, exact from him customs for his wines as an alien merchant, and 
 distrain him therefore, wherefore he has praj'ed the king to provide a 
 remedy, and William was born (priundus) in the town of Aldebergh, 
 CO. Norfolk, and is a burgess of the town of Lyme, co. Dorset, and has there 
 a perpetual dwelling, as the king learns by trustworthy testimony. It is 
 provided that William shall not avow the wines of alien merchants as his 
 own, under the incumbent pain.

 take into the king's hands a messuage and 180 acres of land in Bretouneston

 land as of the right of their church before their lands were taken into the 
 late king's hands by reason of the Scotch war, as the king lately ordered 
 him to restore to the abbot and convent their lands in Ireland [as at 
 page 337 above^ and the iustioiary has signified that he could not execute 
 that order because the king had granted the messuage and land aforesaid to

 that Robeit and John had proceeded to the taking of the assize, ordered 
 Robert to send to him the tenor of the record and process of the assize, and 
 it is contained therein that it was found by the recognition of the assize 
 tnkcn l)efore Robert and John by the assent of the parties that the manor of 
 Est Worldhani, concerning which the assize is arramed, was formerly in 
 the seisin of Jolin de Venuz, grandfather of the aforesaid Thomas, as of his 
 light and inheritance, and that John, by the late king's licence and by fine 
 levied before his justices of the Bench, enfeoffed Thomas le Mareschal of 
 the iiiiinor, and that Thomas, after he had full seisin thereof, granted the 
 manor to the said John de Venuz and Margery his wife for their lives, with 
 remainder to tlie aforesaid John le Mareschal and Constance and to John 
 le jMaresehal's heirs, by virtue of which fine John de Venuz and Margery 
 were seised of tlie manor, and afterwards the aforesaid John de Venuz, 
 father of the said Thomas, unjustly disseised John de Venuz and Margery 
 of the manor, by reason whereof they brought a writ of novel disseisin 
 against tlie said John, father of Thomas, before certain justices of tlie late 
 king, and it was found by the assize taken between them at Audevre that 
 John, father of Thomas, unjustly disseised the said John de Venuz and 
 Margery of the manor, wherefore it was considered that they should recover 
 their seisin, and they were placed in seisin of the same, and continued their 
 seisin during the life of John de Venuz, after whose death John, father of 
 Thomas, again ejected Margery from the manor, wherefore she sued out a 
 writ of re-diaseisin against him, and recovered the manor by process before 
 the sheriff and coroner, by whom she was placed in seisin, and that after 
 her death John le Mareschal and Constance entered the manor as what; 
 ought to remain to them by virtue of the fine aforesaid, and were seised 
 thereof as of their freehold until John, father of Thomas, and others dis- 
 seised them thereof: the king, having consideration to the divers processes 
 in the late king's court and to the judgments rendered herein against John, 
 father of Thomas, and to the fact that Thomas cannot claim any right in 
 the manor through his father, orders the justices to proceed to render judg-

 Oct. 16. To the justices of the Bench. David, bishop of St. Asaph, has shewn the 
 
 Dunstable, king that John de Cherleton and Hawisia his wife impleaded the bishop 
 before the justices by the king's writ directed to the sheriff of Salop of this, 
 that the bishop should permit John and Hawisia to present to the church of 
 La Pole, and by another writ to the same sheriff that he should permit 
 ihem to present to the church of Meyvot, and by a third writ that he 
 should permit them to present to the church of Guldesfeld, and it was so far 
 proceeded in these pleas tliat the parties have placed themselves upon inqui- 
 sitions of the country, and although the aforesaid churches and the manor 
 of La Pole, to which John and Hawisia assert that the advowsons pertain, 
 are in the land of Pouwys without the body of the aforesaid county or the 
 body of any other county, and those things that concern that land ought to 
 be inquired by men of four like liberties or cantreds next adjoining that 
 land, and not by men of the said county, nevertheless the justices intend to pro- 
 ceed to take the inquisitions aforesaid by the men of that county and by writs 
 addressed to the sheriil as if the land was within his bailiwick, to the damage 
 of the bishop and in peril of the disinheritance of his church of St. Asaph, 
 wherefore he has prayed the king to provide a remedy : the king therefore 
 orders the justices, if they ascertain by inquisition, the assertion of the party 
 complaining, or otherwise that the churches and manor are in the land of 
 Pouwys without the body of the said county or any other county, as is 
 aforesaid, to adjourn {contimietis) the matter between tlie parties from time 
 to time accoi'ding to their discietion, and to send to the king the tenor of the 
 record and process aforesaid and this writ, so that he may assign some of 
 his subjects to enquire into the premises by the oath of men of the like 
 liberties and cantreds next adjoining the aforesaid land, so that, when

 right may be done herein.

 and to allow to him 10s. daily whilst thus employed, and to cause to be

 the lands of Robert de Wylughby, tenant in chief of the late king, which 
 were in the said king's hands by reason of the minority of Jolin son and 
 heir of Robert, and the marriage of the heir, which sum the treasurer aod 
 barons are exacting from Roger's lands, which Elizabeth now holds, 
 although the late king, on 4 January, in the 15th year of his reiin, caused 
 the custody and marriage to be taken into his hands with the other lands, 
 goods and chattels of Roger, because he was of the quarrel of Thomas, 
 late earl of Lancaster, and although the said king received the profit of the 
 custody and marriage in full, wherefore Elizabeth has besought the king 
 to provide a remedy. It is provided that answer shall be made to the king 
 for the custody of the lands from 28 May until 4 January aforesaid, accord- 
 ing to the extent of the lands, which are extended at 361/. I3s. 7d. yearly

 Gloucester, a messuage and 5 bovales of laud in Westhathelseye, which he held of the

 hands with his other lands by reason of the quarrel of Thomas, late earl 
 of Lancaster, and remained in the hands of the said king and of the present 
 king for six years until the lands taken into the said king's hands by reason 
 of the quarrel aforesaid were restored in accordance with the agreement in 
 parhament, nevertheless the treasurer and barons distrain him for 121. for 
 the messuage and land for the said six years as if they had been in his 
 hands, wherefore he has besought the king to provide a remedy : the kinn- 
 therefore orders the treasurer and barons to supersede entirely the demaml

 messuage and land were thus taken into the late king's bauds and were 
 thus detained.

 the custody of his lands ought to pertain to the king, but that he lieid 
 divers lands of other lords by various services and that Simon de Echinu- 
 ham, his brother, is his next heir and is of full age. 
 
 To John de Insula, constable of AVyndesore castle. Order to pay to 
 Gilbert Pipot, the king's fletcher {attilliatori) in that castle, the arrears of

 liam de Northo that David Cubliel, chaplain, held the two paris for life 
 in the sixth }ear of the late king's reign of JVIargaret, late the wife of 
 William Graundyn, as of her inherit.atice, in which year she granted the 
 reversion thereof to the aforesaid John by fine levied in the late king's 
 court, by viitue of which grunt David then attorned himself to John, and 
 that David thus continued his estate, and that he aftei'wards demised his 
 estate to Hugh le Despenser, the younger, and that Hugh continued his 
 estate until the time of his forfeiture, without John making any quit-claim 
 or other estate whatsoever to David or Hugh, and that the said two parts 
 are held of Richard de Pesliale and Alina de Mowbray, his wife, as of the 
 honour of Brembre, by homage and the service of a fifth of a knight's fee, 
 and are worth yearly in all issues 4/., and that David died at Stenyng on 
 20 March, in the second j'ear of the king's reign, and it appears by part 
 of the said fine exhibited in chancery and by certificate of the treasurer and 
 baroni! of the exchequer that the reversion of tlie two parts after David's 
 death pertains to John and his heirs, and it appears by a certificate of tlie 
 treasurer and chamberlains that no deed made to Hugh by John concerning 
 the said manor has been found in the treasury. 
 
 To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to cause the

 To Simon de Bereford, escheator this side Trent. Order not to inter- 
 meddle further with an acre of meadow of John Wyldegous and William 
 de Nesse in Isynebrugge, and to restore the issues thereof, as the escheator 
 has returned that he did not take the meadow into the king's hands, but 
 that Wilham Trussel delivered to him upon his appointment to that ofSce two

 king in chief and that they were in the king's hands by reason of the tres- 
 pass that the said John and William de Kesse made in acquiring them 
 v/ithout the king's licence, and the king — at the prosecution of John and 
 William, suggesting that they and their ancestors from time out of mind 
 held the said two pieces of the abbot of Hauman and not of the king, and 
 that they entered them as their inheritance — ordered the escheator to make 
 inquisition concerning the premises, and it is found by the inquisition that 
 John holds One piece of the said meadow as of his inheritance of the abbot 
 aforesaid, and that William de Nesse holds the other piece as his right and 
 inheritance of William de Cluileye by certain services and not of the king,

 of the king as of the crown by reason whereof the custody of his lands 
 ought to pertain to the king, but that he held the tenements above specified

 asseiting tl.at they were issuing from the abbot's tenants in Cokham and 
 that they were in the king's hands because the abbot and convent had 
 usurped and appropriated them to tliemselves, they being of the appurte- 
 nances of the hundred of Colibam, without the king's licence, and the present 
 escheator distrained the abbot by his goods and chattels there found to 
 answer to the king for the ferm and rent aforesaid, because the escheator 
 was charged therewith, and the king, wishing to be certified concerning the 
 premises, ordered the escheator to make inquisition concerning them, and it 
 is found by the inquisition that the abbot and his predecessors have had, 
 and have been wont to liave, from time out of mind view of frankpledge 
 and amends of the assize of bread and ale from their men and tenants 
 aforesaid, and all other things pertaining to such view, free and quit of all 
 arrentation and ferm to the king or others, as of the right of their church,

 Despenser, and that it ought to revert to the king after his death by Hugh's 
 forfeiture, and that he ought not to answer to Henry and Sibyl concerning 
 the manor without consulting the king, by reason whereof the justices have

 that Brian, being seised of that rent in his demesne as of fee, granted it to

 upon Roger de Okovre for 100 marks by reason of a recognisance made by

 suggesting that he made the said recognisance to Hugh by force and duress 
 after Hugh's exile — ordered the treasurer and barons to send the tenor of 
 the recognisance to him, so that he might cause to be done what ought to be 
 done according to the agreement in the parliament at We,stmin.ster, whereby

 exile of Hugh le Despenser the elder and the younger, Edmund, earl of 
 Arundel, Robert de Boldok, and Walter de Stapelton, late bishop of Exeter, 
 shall be annulled, and Roger has now prayed the king, by petition before him

 recognisance to come before the king and is suing for his discharge in thi.s

 To Simon de Bereford, escheator this side Trent. Order not to inter- 
 meddle further with a messuage and a moiety of a bovate of land of William

 delivered them to him at the time of his substitution in that office, asserting 
 that they were in the king's hands by reason of the minority of the said 
 William, and the king afterwards — at William's prosecution, suggesting 
 that Peter held the tenements at his death of the heir of Walter, late bishop 
 of Coventry and Lichfield, then a minor in the king's wardship, who lately 
 proved his age before the escheator, and not of the late king, and that he is 
 Peter's next lieir and is of full age — ordered the escheator to make inquisi- 
 tion concerning the premises, and it is found by the inquisition that Peter at 
 his death held no lands of the late king, but that he held the messuage and 
 land of the said heir, and that William is Peter's next heir.

 April 10. To the count of Flanders. The king has received complaint from Hugh 
 Wallingford. Sampson, burgess of Southampton, that whereas he lately caused a ship of 
 his called ' La Katerine' of Bayonne (Bayon), whereof Reymund Spiap 
 was master, to be freighted with 180 tuns of wine of certain merchants 
 of Gascony at Leyburn in Gascony, in order to carry the same to Le 
 Swyne in Flanders, and the master and mariners of the ship took the ship 
 and wines to that port, Peter Aymet and certain men of Normandy, pre- 
 tending that the ship was theirs, procured its ai-rest with all its tackle with- 
 out reasonable cause ; and, as the king learns, there is a suit in the count's 
 court before the burgomasters and echevins of La Muwe on La Swyne in 
 Flanders concerning the puiparty of the said ship, lately called ' La Porte- 
 peise ' of Southampton, now ' La Katerine ' of Bayonne, between the said 
 Hugh and Peter and the men aforesaid, and it was so far proceeded in the 
 action that the ship was judicially delivered to Hugh according to the law mer- 
 chant, as appears by the process therein, and it is not consonant with right 
 that judgments properly rendered should be brought back again into dis- 
 pute ; the king therefore requests the count to order the said process to be 
 examined, and if he find that the ship was thus judicially delivered to Hugh, 
 to cause the ship and its tackle to be released from arrest and delivered to 
 the said merchant or his attorney in this behalf, so conducting himself in 
 this matter that it may not behove the king to provide the merchant with 
 another remedy through the count's default, certifying the king of his pro- 
 ceedings therein by his letters and by the bearer of the pi'esents.

 To the duke of Britanny. The king learns from the frequent complaints 
 of the men and mariners of his realm that, after the reformation of peace 
 between Charles, king of France, and the king, and after the proclamation 
 made throughout their realms by the two kings that merchants might come 
 into their realms with their goods without challenge or arrest, the duke's men 
 and subjects have caused many merchants of the king's realm in passing the 
 sea to the duchy and in returning thence to be arrested without reasonable 
 cause, extorting grievous ransoms from them for their release, and do still 
 presume to attempt the like, contrary to the form of the agreement aforesaid, 
 whereat the king is moved, especially as it was agreed between the king of 
 France and the king, as he believes the duke is aware, that certain persons 
 should be appointed on both sides to enquire concerning the damages inflicted 
 at sea heretofore, and to do speedy justice to those who are damaged, which 
 matter is now being begun : the king therefore requests the duke to compel 
 his men and subjects to desist wholly from inflicting such damages and 
 grievances upon the king's subjects, and to compel them to restore those 
 things that they have taken contrary to the form of the agreement aforesaid, 
 and to inhibit them from inflicting damage upon merchants or others of the 
 king's realm coming to places in the duke's dominions. If any of the duke's 
 men wish to complain of damages inflicted upon them by men of the king's 
 power, they are to come before the justices thus to be assigned, to expound 
 their complaints and to receive justice, according to the form and effect of 
 the agreement aforesaid. The king desires the duke to accede to this request 
 with effect, so that contention may not arise, and that there may be no 
 need to solicit the king of Prance for this cause, certifying the king by the 
 bearer of these presents of his proceedings. \_Fcedera.^

 original writ concerning tenements in Manneby, Grymolby, and Salfletby, 
 and Little Carleton, the earl, in pleading before them by his bailiff, alleged 
 that he held the tenements of the grant of the late king, and hereupon 
 profered certain letters patent dated 20 February, in the 8th year of the 
 said king's reign, containing that the said king granted to him the manors 
 of Manneby, Grimolby, and Salfletby, co. Lincoln, which belonged to 
 William de Vescy of KOdare, deceased, tenant in chief of the said king, 
 ■which were in the said king's hands, and which the earl prayed the said 
 king to deliver to him as his escheat, because William held the said 
 manors of him by knight service and died without an heir, to be held 
 by the earl until other ordinance should be made, so that he should answer 
 to the said king for the issues thereof, in case they ought to pertain to the 
 said king, by reason whereof the earl asserted that he ought not to answer 
 to Gilbert without the king ; by pretext whereof the justices have deferred 
 proceeding in the assize, wherefore Gilbeit has prayed the king to provide 
 a remedy ; and it appears by the rolls of the late king's chancery that the 
 said kinir, on 7 November, in the 20th year of his reign, took the homage 
 of the said Gilbert, kinsman and heir of William de Vescy, the elder, then 
 lately deceased, for all the lands that William de Vescy of Kyldare held 
 of the said king in chief at his death, which ought to remain to the right 
 heir of the said William the elder because William died without an heir 
 of his body {de se), and that the late king rendered the lands to Gilbert : 
 the king therefore orders the justices to proceed in the assise, and to do 
 justice to the parties, notwithstanding the allegation aforesaid.

 held of the king as of the honour of Feverel by the service of one knight's 
 fee of Mortain, and that she held no other lands of the king at her death,

 CALENDARS OF STATE PAPERS, &c 
 
 [iMi'ElUAL 8vo., cloth. Price 15s. each Volume or Part.J 
 
 As far back as the year 1800, a Committee of the House of CommouR 
 recommended that Indexes and Calendars should be made to the Public 
 Records, and thirty-six years afterwards another Committee of the House 
 of Commons reiterated that recommendation in more forcible words ; but 
 it was not until the incorporation of the State Paper OfiRce with the Public 
 Record Office that the Master of the Rolls found himself in a position to 
 take the necessary steps for carrying out the wishes of the House of 
 Commons. 
 
 On 7 December 1855, he stated to the Lords of the Treasury that 
 although " the Records, State Papers, and Documents in his charge con- 
 " stitute 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 oenstitutional point of view, yet they are comparatively useless to 
 " the public, from the want of proper Calendars and Indexes." 
 
 Their Lordships assented to the necessity of having Calendars prepared 
 and printed, and empowered the Master of the Rolls to take such steps as 
 might be necessary for this purpose.

THE CHRONICLES AND MEMORIALS 0¥ GREAT 
 BRITAIN AND IRELAND DURING THE MIDDLE x\.GES. 
 
 [EOYAL 8vo. I'rice lOs. each Volume or Part.] 
 
 On 25 July 1822, the House of Commona presented an addi-eea to the 
 Crown, stating that the editions of the works of our ancient historians 
 were _ inconvenient and defective ; that many of their writings still 
 remained in manuscript, and, in some oases, in a single copy only. They 
 added, "that an uniform and convenient edition of the whole, published 
 under His Majesty's royal sanction, would be an undertaking honour- 
 able to His Majesty's reign, and conducive to the advancement of 
 " historical and constitutional knowledge; that the House therefore 
 " humbly besought His Majesty, that He would be graciously pleased to 
 " give such directions as His Majesty, in His wisdom, might think fit, 
 " for the publication of a complete edition of the ancient historians 
 " of this realm." 
 
 The Master of the Bolls, being very desirous that effect should be given 
 to the resolution of the House of Commons, submitted to Her Majesty's 
 Treasury in 1857 a plan for the publication of the ancient chronicles and 
 memorials of the United Kingdom, and it was adopted accordingly. 
 
 Of the Chronicles and Memorials, the following volumes have been 
 published. They embrace the period from the earliest time of British 
 history down to the end of the reign of Henry VII. 
 
 TuE Chbonicie oe England, by John Capgkave. 'Edited by the Rev. 
 P. C. HiNGESTON, M.A. 1858. 
 
 Capgrave's Chi-onicle extends from the creation of the world to the year 1417. As 
 a record of the language spoken in Norfolk (being ^Vl■itten in English), it is of considerable 
 value. 
 
 Chuonicon Monasiekii de Abingdon. Vols. I. and II. Edited by the 
 Eev. Joseph Stevenson, M.A., Vicar of Leighton Buzzard. 1858. 
 
 This Chronicle traces the history of the monastery from its foundation by King Ina 
 of Wessex, to the reign of Richard I. The author had access to the title deeds of the 
 house and'incorporates into his history various charters of the Saion kings, of great im- 
 portance as illustrating not only the history of the locality but that of the kingdom.

 .^duuardi Regis qui apud Westmonasterium requiescit. Edited by 
 Henry Richaeds Luakd, M.A., Fellow and Assistant Tutor of Trinity 
 College, Cambridge. 1858. 
 
 The first is a poem in Norman French, probably ^v^itten in 1245. The second is an 
 anonymous poem written between 1440 and 1460, which is mainly valuable as a specimen of 
 the Latin poetry of the time. The third, also by an anonymous author, was apparently 
 written between 1066 and 1074.

 the Rev. Churchill Bawngton, B.D., Fellow of St. John's College, 
 Cambridge. 1860. 
 
 The " Heprcssor " may be considered the earliest piece of good theological disquisition 
 of which our English prose literature can boast. The author was born about the end of the 
 foui'teenth century, consecrated Bishop of St. Asaph in the year 1444, and translated to the 
 see of Chichester in 1450. His work is interesting chiefly because it gives a full iieeoiint of 
 the views of the Lollards, and it has great value for the philologist. 
 
 20. Annales Cambria. Edited by the Rev. John Williams ab Ithel, M.A. 
 
 1860. 
 
 These annals, which are in Latin, commenced in 447, and come down to 12S8. The 
 earlier portion appears to be taken from an Irish Chronicle used by Tigernach, and by the 
 compiler of the Annals of Lister.

 Rev. J. S. Brewer, M.A., Professor of English Literature, King's

 DiMOOK, M.A., Rector of Barnburgh, Yorkshire. Vol. VIII. Edited 
 by George F. Warner, M.A., of the Department of MSS., British 
 Museum. L861-1891. 
 
 These volumes contain the historical works of Gerald du Barry, who lived in the reigns 
 of Henry II., Richard I., and John. His works are oi a very miscellaneous nature, both 
 in prose and verse, and are remarkable for the anecdotes which they contain. 
 
 The Topoijraphia Hibemiea (in Vol. V.) is the result of Giraldus' two visits to Ireland 
 the first in 1183 the second in 11S5-6. when he accompanied Prince John into that country. 
 The E.rvvgnatio Hibemiea was written about 1188, and may be regarded rather as a great 
 epic than a sober relation of acts occurring in hi.s own days. Vol. VI. contains the It-ine- 
 rarium Kamlirice et Descriptio Kambriie ; and Vol. VII., the lives of S. Remiglus and 
 S Hugh Vol VIII. contains the Treatise Be I'rincipum Instritcfione, a,nd an Index to

 diftereut years and written in ditterent parts of the country. In this edition, the text of 
 oMh manuscript is printed in columns on the same page, so that the student may see at a 
 glance the various changes which occur in orthography.

 The object of this work is to piiblisli uolices of all known sources of British history, 
 both printed and imprinted, in one continued sequence. The materials, when historical (as 
 distinguished from biographical), are arranged under the year in which the latest event is 
 recorded in tlie chronicle or history, and not under the i^eriod in which its authoi-, real or 
 supposed, lloLU'ishcd. Biographies are enumerated under the year in which the person 
 commemorated died, and not under the year in which the life was written. A brief 
 analysis of each work has been added when deserving it, in which original portions are 
 distinguished from mere compilations. A biographical sketch ot the author of ea(;h piece 
 has been added, and a brief notice of such British authors as have written on historical 
 subjects.

 Richard of Cirencester's history, in four books, extends from -147 to lOlJO. It gives 
 nany charters in favour of Westminster Abliey, and a very full account of the lives and

 The authorship of the Ghrouiclo in Vol. I., hiLlierto ascribed to Geoffrey Vinesauf, is 
 now more coiTectly ascribed to llicbard, Canon of the Holy Trinity of London. 
 
 In letters in Vol. II., written between 1187 and 1199, had their origin in a dispute which 
 arose from the attempts of Baldwin and Hubert, archbishops of Canterbury, to found a 
 college of secular canons, a project which gavo great umbrage to the monks of Canterbury.

 This chronicle begins with the creation, and is brought down to the reign of 
 Bdward in. It enables us to form a very fair estimate of the knowledge of history and 
 geography which well-informed readers of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries possessed, 
 for It was then the standard work on general history. 
 
 The two English translations, which are printed with the original Latin, afford in- 
 teresting illustrations of the gradual change of our language, for one was made in the 
 fourteenth century, the other in the fifteenth.

 These two treaties are valuable as careful abstracts of previous liistorians. Some 
 various readings are given which are interesting to the philologist as instances of senii- 
 Saxonised French.

 The "Book of Hyde" is a compilation from much earlier sources which are usually 
 indicated with considerable onro and precision. In many cases, however, the Hyde 
 
15 
 
 Ohromcler appears to correct, to qualify, or to amplify the stati'.ments, which, in substance, 
 he adopts. 
 
 There is to be found, in the " Book of Hyde," nmch information relating to the reign of 
 King Alfred which is not known to exist elsewhere. The volume contains some cui-ious 
 specimens of Anglo-Saxon and mediaeval English.

 It is probable that Pierre de Langtoft was a canon of Bridlington, in Yorkshire, and 
 lived in the reign of Edward I., and during a portion of the reign of Edw.ard IT. This 
 chronicle is divided into three pai-ts; in the first, is an abridgment of Geoffrey of Mon- 
 mouth's '* Historia Britonum ; " in the second, a history of the An(flo-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 curious specimen of the French of Yorkshire.

 Trinity College, and Regius Professor of Hebrew in the University of 
 Dublin. 1867, 
 
 The work in its present form, in the editor's opinion, is a comparatively modern version 
 of an ancient original. The story is told after the manner of the Scandinavian Sagas.

 The eai-lier portion, extending from 732 to 1148, appears to be a copy of a compilation 
 made in Noithnmbria about 1101, to which Hoveden added little. From 1148 to 116!)— a 
 very valuable portion of this work — the matter is derived from another source, to which 
 Hoveden appears to have supplied little. From 1170 to 1192 is the portion which corre- 
 sponds to some extent with the Chronicle known under the name oJ Benedict of Peter- 
 borough {see No. 49). From 1192 to 12(11 may be said to he wholly Hoveden's work.

 This work forms a comprehensive Pala?ographic 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 influence in her 
 affairs. With these reproductions are combined fac-similes of writings 
 connected with eminent personages or transactions of importance in the 
 annals of the country to the early part of the eighteenth century. 
 
 The specimens have been reproduced as nearly as possible in accord- 
 ance with the originals, in dimensions, colouring, and general appearance. 
 Characteristic examples of styles of writipg and caligraphic ornamenta- 
 tion are, so far as practicable, associated with subjects of historic 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 pnnted in the original languages, opposite to 
 the Fac-similes — line for line — without contractions — thus facilitating 
 reference and aiding effectively those interested in palasographic studies. 
 
 In the work are also printed in full, for the first time, many original 
 and important historical documents. 
 
 I'art I. commences with the earliest Irish MSS. extant. 
 
 Part II. : From the Twelfth Century to A.D. 1299. 
 
 Part III. : From A.D, 1300 to end of reign of Henry VIII. 
 
 Part IV. I. : From reign of Edward VI. to that of James 1. 
 
 In Part IV. 2.— the work is carried down to the early part of the 
 eighteenth century, with Index to the entire publication.
