- Nature of request
- The Abbot of Tironneau states that Richard I granted him and his house 20 marks annually, to pray for him and his heirs, and that this sum was paid until Edward I seized the lands of aliens into his hand in his twenty-second year, because of the war between him and the King of France. The Abbot asks that the Treasurer and Chamberlains of the Exchequer might be ordered that, if they can find that this sum has been paid, it should be paid again, together with the arrears since peace was declared. He further states that Edward I gave orders that this sum was to be paid again, but died before they could be carried out.
- Nature of endorsement
- He is to show the charter he has for this in Chancery, and, when the charter has been examined, the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer are to be ordered to search the rolls and memoranda there, to see if the aforesaid 20 marks annually were paid to the Abbot of the same place as is contained in the same bill, and why the payment stopped and when; and they are to inform the King of this.
