King.

Nature of request

Roger Mauduyt states that Edward II granted him custody of the lands of Robert de Umfraville, Earl of Angus, in the King's hands during the minority of the heir. Following an inquest, two extents were made, one of the value of the lands in peace-time and one in war-time. Robert's widow was granted a third of the lands according to the peace-time valuation, and Mauduyt was then charged to account for the remaining two-thirds for 19 and 20 Edward II (1325-7), also at peace-time rates, despite this being a time of war. He therefore asks that he be charged according to the war-time valuation, or a new valuation be made.

Nature of endorsement

Order the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer that, notwithstanding the valuations, they should make enquiry into the value of the lands for the time when they were in his keeping, and that he should be charged accordingly.
