To the sheriff of Berks and the coroners of the same county. Order to cause Dionisia, late the wife of Robert de Derby, to have his goods and chattels or their value, as the king learns by inquisition taken by the sheriff and coroners that Robert slew himself by felony and by his own action (motu debito) and not by reason of any infirmity or otherwise, so that his goods and chattels are forfeited to the king by reason of the felony aforesaid, and the king, compassionating the poverty of Dionisia and her children, has granted to her the goods and chattels, which are appraised by the inquisition at 44s. 6d., for her maintenance.
