To Robert de Bures, keeper of the lands of certain rebels in co. Norfolk. As it appears to the king by a transcript of a fine levied before William de Bereford and his fellows, justices of the Bench, in the seventh year of his reign, between Michael de Meledon, demandant, and John de Gyse and Isabella his wife, deforciants, concerning the manor of Tunstede and the advowsons of the churches of that manor and of Rushton, and 80 acres of pasture and 10s. lld. of rent in Great Yarmouth and Goteshurde in Frethorp near Okle, that John and Isabella acknowledged the tenements and advowsons to be the right of Michael and released them to him, and that Michael, in consideration of such release, granted them 20/. yearly for their lives from the tenements, and Michael has acknowledged in chancery that he paid the said 20/. yearly until the manor and lands were taken into the king's hands; the king therefore orders the keeper to pay the aforesaid rent to John, together with the arrears thereof from the time when the tenements were taken into the king's hands by Michael's forfeiture, and to pay the rent so long as the tenements are in his hands.
