A. 13638. Letter from King [Edward III] to his son [the Prince of
Wales]. Our cousin Anne, late the wife of Edward le Despenser, has
shown us that she has no title to the manor of Burghle, co. Rutland, but
believes that Waryn son and heir of Gerard del Isle, knight, intended to
enter thereon and expel her. She begs us to procure her and her son
Thomas an estate in fee of the said manor and offers by letters under her
seal on her own and her son's behalf to make an estate in fee to us of the
castle of Morende, and certain other lands in Northamptonshire, which
belonged to Thomas de Ferrers, knight, near our forest of Whittelwod, as
you are well aware; we have accordingly bought the said manor of the said
Waryn, who has released his right in it to the said Anne, in her possession,
and she has since enfeoffed us and our heirs thereof, to the intent that we
may reenfeoff her and the said Thomas thereof, under a certain form, in
exchange for the said castle and other lands. Wherefore we, and the said
Anne, are now sending her squire, John de Grytford, to the said Thomas
to explain the bargain and covenants to him and to show him a charter
and letters of attorney, which he is to seal at his mother's request, to
complete the exchange, and to bring them back to us. Wherefore we
would have you cause and if need be request the said Thomas to seal the
said charter and letters without alteration, according to the purport, as we
understand of his mother's letters to him, &c. but if he declines to do as
his mother desires, and refuses to seal, to have him sent to us in England
as quickly as possible with the said John, so that in his presence the affair
may be ended in one way or other. Do not omit to do this, clearly under-
standing that the manor of Burghle is worth four times the castle and other
lands which we shall have by the above exchange. Given under the signet
of our ring at our manor of Clipston, 4 August, [36 Edward III]. French. |

A. 13639. Memorandum of the treaty between counsel on behalf of
the king, and counsel on behalf of Dame Anne la Despenser, for herself and
her son Thomas, for the castle of Morende.
First, at the king's desire (en plesance de . . . . le Roi), the said castle
was offered to him in exchange for other lands, by her warrant (ses lettres de
garant) addressed to Sir William de Wykham by her [son] clerk, John de
Newenham, acting for her (chargez de la dite Dame), on St. Peter's eve.
The lady's demand in consideration of the said exchange is that the king
shall cause her to have a release of the manor of Burlegh from Sir Gerard
del Isle for whatever claim he may have as heir of Sir Henry del Isle, or by
virtue of any entail; which manor the lady has by the gift of the said Sir
Henry, to her and her heirs.
Item that Sir William de Ferrers shall receive satisfaction for his
remainder in the said castle.
The king's demand is that, if he cause her to have a release of the manor
of Burlegh, as above, he shall have the said castle, and Plumpton Pirie,
with their appurtenances, all the land, &c. which she has in Yerdelegh
Gobyoun, formerly belonging to her husband, Sir Edward le Despenser,
and all the lands and tenements which were Sir Henry del Isle's in the
county of Northampton. |

in the parish of the said church, commonly called 'Cann Halle,' for the
lands whereof and the beasts fed thereon they are bound to pay tithes
to the said church, or its rector, by common law (jure communi); which
tithes in his time they have never completely paid, except two quarters
of corn, viz. one quarter of rye and one of oats, and this retention of tithes,
both greater and lesser, they have practised since his institution, seventeen
years ago; he seeks that, notwithstanding any alienations or grants of his
predecessors, the tithes be restored, and that they pay in full for the said
grange and for the fields called 'Hocfeld,' 'Holnfeld,' 'Bycheryswellefeld'
and 'Bromfeld,' and that they pay lesser tithes for the feed of beasts there,
according to time and places in which they pasture, and that he be satisfied
of arrears, allowing for the two quarters, as above, &c.

was done before his commissaries, the sacristan of the church of St. Mary

Cornwall (Cornubya), their proctor; the bull of Pope Innocent Ad
audienciam nostram percenit, dated the Lateran, VII Kal. April anno
one, was read; the archdeacon's commission to the Sacristan and Official,
dated Leycestre, Tuesday after the Holy Trinity, 1276, was read,
committing to them cognisance of the causes between the said rector of the
one part, and the said prior and convent, Thomas David, John Hamund,
Lawrence Godhewe, and Maud de Boddele, of the other; the conventional
libel (libello convencionali) was read, whereby the said rector sought the
greater and lesser tithes from the demesne of the said prior and convent at
Leytone, in the parish of the church of St. Mary of Wanstede; whereupon,
the said Roelanus acknowledged that he had heard and inspected the
tenour of certain instruments, to wit, of a composition formerly made,
touching the said tithes between the said religious and a certain predecessor
of his, rector of the same church, with the consent of the patron, of letters
of the diocesan bishop and of the chapter of St. Paul's, London, and of
Papal letters; whereby it appeared that the said prior and convent were
entitled to retain the said tithes, saving to the rectors for the time being
the said two quarters; the rector's suit is accordingly dismissed, &c.
Dated the year of our Lord above. |
