York, of Alexander Tothe, an idiot from his birth, to hold for the life of the said<BR/>Alexander without rendering anything to the king, but finding out of the issues of the lands competent sustenance of food and clothing for Alexander. He has now surrendered the custody to the king and he, at his request, has granted the same to John Tothe of Middelton on the like terms."<BR/><BR/>25 Aug 1389:<BR/><BR/>"Exemption, for life, in consideration of his long continued labour in divers offices in the service of the late king and the king, and of his great age and debility, of Thomas de Brantyngham, bishop of Exeter,from attendance at the Parliaments or councils of the king, from which he is hereby wholly excused."Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-19593996878176846152007-10-31T23:03:00.000+00:002007-10-31T23:03:00.000+00:00Interesting stuff!

(Nothing on 23 Oct 1261, I'm afraid).<BR/><BR/>23 Oct 1311: <BR/>"Appointment of William de Norwico, one of the barons of the Exchequer, to supply the place of the treasurer in the Exchequer until the king shall ordain otherwise. Writ de intendendo in pursuance directed to the barons of the Exchequer."<BR/><BR/>And a more interesting one on 22 Oct 1311:<BR/>"Peter [Piers] de Gavaston, earl of Cornwall, going beyond seas, has letters nominating Robert de Kendale and William de Vallibus, his attorneys for five years. He also has like letters nominating Roger de Wellesworthe and John de Hothum. Protection also for him for five years."<BR/><BR/>23 Oct 1361:<BR/>"Nomination to the prior and convent of Leghes, by right pertaining to the king by reason of the temporalities of the bishopric of London being in his hand, of Richard Chipet, chaplain, to be presented by them to the vicarage of the church of Great Bryche; with mandate to them to present him by their letters patent to the guardian of the<BR/>spirituality of the bishopric accordingly."<BR/><BR/>Hmmm, a certain lack of scandal and violence on your birthday. :-)Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-21874877893654791492007-10-30T19:44:00.000+00:002007-10-30T19:44:00.000+00:00Lol Alianore.

Wonder if Roger Gurnay was a relative of Thomas Gurney?<BR/><BR/>Susan: tsk, how inconsiderate of Hugh not to be doing something scandalous on your birthday! :)<BR/><BR/>Kate: I couldn't remember exactly when your birthday is, but here's an Ed II Patent Roll entry from November, 650 years before you were born: <BR/><BR/><I>Agnes de Haldanby lately before the king and Council in the Parliament at York made complaint that Adam de Waltham, John de Hegham and others assaulted her at Northampton, seized her and took her from thence to Luffewik, <B>where they tore out her eyes and cut her tongue.</B> The king now understands that John de Hegham, striving to prevent the said Agnes from prosecuting, feigned that she and [about 20 names], friends of the said Agnes de Haldenby, who should assist her in her said suit, had committed a trespass against him maliciously and thereupon sued out against them in the Court of King's Bench a certain writ and prosecuted them to such an extent that through such malicious suit they were convicted. The king suspecting malice and willing to do a favour to the said Agnes and her friends pardons them the imprisonment and that which pertains to him for the trespass whereof they were so convicted. They are not to be harassed by any of the king's ministers in any matter pertaining to the king, provided that nothing in the said pardon shall be created to the prejudice of the said John de Hegham. </I><BR/><BR/>Ewwwww!Kathryn Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00397714441908100576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19545049.post-18860024763620873242007-10-30T10:37:00.000+00:002007-10-30T10:37:00.000+00:00Poor Thoms Gyfie !
