To the collectors of the triennial tenth and fifteenth in co. Southampton. Order to cause the men of the isle of Wight to have respite until the Purification next, for the arrears of their portion, as the king has granted them this in consideration of their effort against the enemies who attacked the island. By the keeper and C. 1b. To John de Moubray. Order upon sight of these presents to go with his horses and arms and all his power to the parts of Sussex, and stay there while danger is imminent, to defend his land and the realm with the other lieges there, as although Edward duke of Cornwall and earl of Chester, keeper of England, seeing the damage inflicted by foreigners on the parts of cos. Sussex and Southampton, and elsewhere towards the south, ordered John to go to the parts of Sussex with his power, to stay at his manor of Brembre and his other manors and places there, to be ready to set out with the other magnates and leges of those parts to repel the enemies, yet John has neglected to do this. By K. and C. 16.
