That AVRVM REGINAE was a most antient Royal Prerogative Debt Duty and Revenue belonging to our QUEEN-CONSORTS out of all Voluntary Fines Obl●tions to Compositions or Contracts made with our Kings during th●ir respective Mariages and Covertures if they were of or above the value of ten Marks 2. That AVRVM REGINAE was one full tenth part over and above the entire Fine Oblation to or Composition Contract made with the King to wit one Mark for every ten Marks and one pound for every ten pounds paid or payable to the King in moneyes either in Masse or in Coine and so proportionably for any greater summes 3ly That it was due out of all Fines Oblations Compositions for Grants of Lands Liberties and the Custody of the Lands bodies or Mariages of Wards without disparagement For Licenses to alien morgage or purchase Lands held in Capite of the King or Rents issuing out of them For Licenses to alien purchase or receive any Lands Houses Rents Advowsons Churches or Chappels in mortmain to or by any Religious Houses Hospitals Parsons Prelates or other Ecclesiastical or Civil Corporations For licenses to marry the Kings Wards or Widdowes For grants Liveries and restitution of Lands goods or chattels out of the Kings hands when seised by reason of Vacancies of Bishopricks or Monasteries or for Wardships or for Contempts or Forfeitures yea for Fines for Original Writs and Concords 4ly For Fines Compositions Ransoms for and Pardons of all sorts of Trespasses and Offences As alienations or purchases of Lands held of the King in Capite or granting purchasing receiving Lands Houses Rents in mortmain or marrying the Kings Wards Widdows or Women holding Lands in Capit● without the Kings preceding special licenses for and of all ●orts of Trespasses in Forests punishable by Forest Lawes all kinds of Extorsions Oppressions Maintenances ●onsp●racies Frauds Deceits selling Corrupt Wines mixed with Lees or with old or decayed Wines or other mixtures● or Wines ungauged or not according to the Legal measure assise or p●ice and for and of all other Trespasses Grievances Misdemeanors punished by the Kings Justices in any Court Country Forest Eyre submitted to by the parti●s fined and estreated into the Kings Exchequer The particulars of which Trespasses Offences being very numerous and of different kindes yea many of them very observable those who please may peruse at leisure in the Great Rolls carefully preserved in the Pipe Office during the reigns of King Henry the 2. King Iohn King H●nry the 3. and their successors till our present age and likewise in the Rolls in the Kings and Lord Treasurers Remembrancers Offices in the Exchequer at Westminster and in the Fine Rolls in the Tower 5ly That the King himself did sometimes appoint by his Writs and Precepts at what dayes and by what particular summs and in what places the Duty of Queen-gold should be payd in favour to those who were to pay it most likely by the Queens consent 6ly That the Estreats and Fine Rolls sent out of the Chancery and out of other Courts or Eyres by the Kings Justices into the Exchequer were a sufficient warrant to the Queens Clerks or Officers in the Exchequer to ascertain and issue out Writs and Processe to Sheriffs and other Officers to levy her QUEEN-GOLD according to the proportion of the Fines ascertained by the Records upon the goods chattels lands and tenements of all such from whom it was due 7ly That this Queen-gold was usually payd to and received by the Queens own Officers and Receivers in the Kings Court of Exchequer and levyed by the same Processe Officers and in the same manner as the Kings own Fin●s and Debts were levyed And that when Bailif●s of Liberties were ne●ligent in levying it the Sheriffs themselves were commanded to enter their Liberties and levy it by distresses 8ly That not only the goods and chattels of the persons from whom Queen-gold was due but likewise all the Lands and tenements they were seised of at the time when the Fine Oblation to or Contract with the King was first made were liable and extendable to satisfie it in whose hands soever they were found and likewise their pledges or sureties goods chattels lands and tenements 9ly That Processe usually issued out of the Court of Exchequer year after year to Sheriffs and Bayliffs of Liberties for this Duty till the whole way levyed and satisfaction thereof acknowledged by the Queens Attorney or Receiver in open Court 10ly That all arrears of Queen-gold unpayd or unlevyed at the time of the Queens death of right accrued belonged to the King her Husband as a just Debt over and above his own Original Fine Oblation or Contract and to none o●her Person whereupon the King issued Processe in his own name right to levy it and accordingly received it by judgement of his Court of Exchequer when levyed as particularly belonging to him by his Prerogative And in case the King-husband likewise deceased before all the arrears of Queen-gold due to his deceased Queen were levyed or received they then accrued by Law and right to this succeeding King as the premised Presidents of King Edward the 3d. and his Grandchild King Richard the 2d most clearly and irrefragably evidence and resolve for which end I have here transcribed them at large I shall cloze up this Additional Appendix with the Case of William de Asthorp Knight the Record whereof I found Inter Communia de Termino Paschae Anno 18 Regis Richardi secundi Rot● 1. in Officio Rem Thesaurarii in Sca●● differing in some Clauses Names of Justices from that I formerly transcribed out of the Manuscript of Mr. W. B. in my AURUM REGINAE p. 60 61. which I shall here present you with wherein it was resolved upon mature deliberation That no Queen-gold is due to the QUEEN for any fine or amercement ascertained and imposed on any person for any Trespass or Offence if the party pleads against it as unjust or unreasonable that it was imposed on him against his
