charter dated 18 April 1299, enrolled on a certain
memoranda roll for 28 [Edward II [20 November 1299
- 19 November 1300] for Easter. By this charter
the king, for himself and his heirs, granted that,
in consideration of the bp. 's laudable service as
treasurer to the king and his realm before and
after he assumed the pastoral office, he and his
successors should have in all their episcopal
lands the return of all the king's writs, pleas of
withernaam, the chattels of felons and fugitives
and the fines and amercements of all their men and
tenants to be levied [by] the bp., his successors
and their officials for the maintenance of the
same bishops without cause or impediment of the
king, his heirs, sheriffs, bailiffs or officials.
By the king's writ between the community
concerning this dated 22 April 27 [Edward I]
[1299] the king ordered the treasurer and barons
that each clause of the charter should be observed
strictly, the king's justices, sheriffs and
ministers should cause it to be held and observed
within the realm, and the sheriffs should cause
their account for the pleas of withernaam, the
chattels of felons and fugitives, and also the
amercements of all the men and tenants in the
bishopric to be made in the exchequer before they
are released to the bp. It is discharged.
