- Nature of request
- Nicholas de Cheynne requests a remedy concerning various sums of money.1) He was ordered by writ of the king to receive various quantities of various cereals and pulses from various bishops and other magnates, and has been charged the price of 21 quarters for 20. He has also been charged for larger quantities of specific kinds of victual than he received, both from the bishop of Winchester and the bishop of Bath and Wells.2) He had to store these provisions in rented buildings at Bridgwater for a year and a quarter before the king gave him commands concerning them, and cannot receive an allowance in the wardrobe for this.3) He cannot receive an allowance in the wardrobe for the costs of 6 rope-makers travelling from Bridport to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, although a writ of the king promised him costs and carriages of issues of his bailiwick.4) He is owed £20 sterling by John de Kyngeston through a recognizance made in the exchequer, which promised that he would pay this long ago, and that if he did not, the money would be levied from his lands and tenements, which are now in the king's hands.
- Nature of endorsement
- Coram rege.The keeper of the wardrobe is to be ordered to charge the sheriff only for what he has received through indentures; and the money for the twenty-first quarter is to be balanced against the account for the price of the corn which he has made with his creditors.With regard to the recognizance, he is to sue in the Exchequer.
