agreed with Edmund Earl of Kent for the delivery of King Edward the â—econd and therefore impeached should be acquitted and restored to all their lands and goods It is enacted by the King and his Council That all such persons whose lands were seised into the Kings hands by reason of the road made by the Earl of Lancaster to Bedford or by reason of the Attempt made by the Earl of Kent shall be restored thereunto with the mean profits saving that if they have any lands of the Kings gift the same be of the like condition as others who have lands of his gift The King pardoneth the Earl of Lancaster and all others who were in his company in the attempt aforesaid all Fines and Ransoms The Mayor of London complaineth for that the Citizens were threatned by such as were of the Earls company aforesaid and now pardoned Whereupon after pardoning of them the King willeth that no party do seek revenge upon pain of imprisonment Edmund the eldest son of â—dmund late Earl of Kent and Margaret Countess of Kenâ— by their several Petitions require That the Record made against the said Earl may for the Errors therein be revoked The cause of the same Earls death seemeth to have been for that the said Earl sought to delâ—vâ—r King Edward the Second his brother upon report to him made by Roger Mortimer Earl of March and others before condemned that the said King Edward was living whereas he was long before dead for which the said Earl by Parliament at Winchester was condemned and excuted The King restored the said Edmund the son to the blood and lands of the said Earl his father whereof he died seised in Fee with dower to the Countess saving to the King the keeping and wardship of the same during the nonâ—ge of the said son It is also enacted That no Peer of the Land nor other person which procured the death of the said Earl of Kent should be impeached therefore other then the said Earl of March and Sir Simon Bereford Iohn Mautravers Bayones and Iohn Bevervile Richard de Arundel the eldest son of the late Earl of Arundel prayeth that he may be restored to blood lands and goods considering that the said Edward was put to death being not tryed by his Peers according to the Law and great Charter But for that the said Attainder was confirmed by Parliament the said Richard amendeth his Petition and prayeth in such wise to be restored of the Kings meer grace He was accordingly restored together with the Castle of Arundel which was given to Edmund late Earl of Kent the said Richard yielding the usual rents and saving to the King all such lands as were given to the said Earl of Arundel by King Edward the Second For the great service done by William of Montacute against the Earl of March and his great Favourers the King giveth to the said William in general tail One thousand pounds yearly and for One thousand marks thereof the Castle Town and Manor of Denbigh and the Counties of Roes Rewniock Keirm with the Commerotte of Dinmall with the appurtenances in Wales late Roger Earl of March's and the Castle of the Shrewsbury with the Custom of Aile and appurtenances in Dorset The King for the like consideration granted to Sir Edward Bohun Four hundred marks yearly in general tail to Sir Robert Ufford Three hundred marks yearly in special tail and to Sir Iohn Nevil of Hornby Two hundred marks in special tail In a Plea of the Crown holden before the King in this Parliament Thomas of Berkley Knight was arraigned for the death of King Edward the Second for that the said King was committed to the keeping of the said Thomas and Iohn Mautravers at the Castle of the said Thomas at Berkley in Glouc. where he was murdered The said Thomas saith That at the time of the death of the said King he lay sick at Beudley without the said

punishing all misdemeanours in Southwark and that Commandment be given that the Marshal do not intermeddâ—e within the part of Southwark which is called Gildable The King cannot do it without doing wrong to others The Citizens of London require the confirmation of the Kings Letters Patents made to them that no stranger should sell any Merchandise or ware to any other stranger to the end that the same should be sold again The very words of the Patent The King will be thereof informed The same Citizens prayed that they place and displace a Coroner amongst themselves answering unto the King what belongeth thereunto The King will not depart from his ancient right That no Alien do remain within the Realm during the Warrs unless he be a Merchant or Artificer and that no Englishman become any

that the same may be tried before the Kings Justices The Statute therefore made shall be executed That the next heirs of the Kings Wards may have the Wards lands in farm There is a Statute therefore made That none of the Kings Officers be maintainers of any quarrels within their Countries on pain to lose their Offices and to answer double to the party grieved The King hath forbidden his Officers so to do and if any be grieved he shall be heard That if any religious person taketh the profits of any lands whereby it may be thought to be within the compass of the Statute de Religiosis that then the King or chief Lord may enter upon the same The King intendeth not to change the Laws That the Statutes now made be not repealed but by assent of Parliament and that the Statute of Purveyors may be

the suit of the party The King will shew pardon where him liketh That divers having in their Charters That no Senescalâ— Marescal or Clerk of the Market do intermeddle within their Lâ—berties are thereby little the better for that those Officeâ—s do intermeddle for that there wanteth these words â—am in praesentia nostra quà m alibi that therefore it be commanded that none of those Officers do intermeddle The King would have them to be allowed according to Law and reason as it hath been heretofore used The like motion is made as is contained in 50 E. 3. tit 184. No Tenant ought to be received to counterplead his own conusâ—nce That no Customs of Woollen clothes granted in 44 E. 3. be paid unless the same be fulled The King hath commanded that no Woollen clothes be carried out of the Realm before they be fulled and that no Customs be paid before such fulling That such Loans as were made in the time of Thomas Brantingham Bishop of Exeter and Treasurer of England now be paid It shall be so soon as may be That no Tithe be paid for Sea-coals It shall be as it hath been That no Fines be taken for any Writs according to the Great Charter Nulli vendemus c.
