1295-12-12, Westminster

To the sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk. Order to restore to Master Philip de Thorp, parson of the church of Fresingfeld, his lands, goods and chattels, which were taken into the king's hands because he was said to have refused to entertain (hospitart) the count of Gueldres ((elr ) in the houses of his church aforesaid when the count was returning to parts beyond the sea from the king, as was shown to the king by William Carbonel, the king's serjeant at arms, by whom the king caused the count to have conduct, as Philip has submitted himself to the king for the alleged contempt. To Malcolm de Harle, escheator this side Trent. Order not to intermeddle further with the lands that Gilbert de Hippetoft held at his death, as the king learns by inquisition taken by the escheator that Gilbert at his death held nothing of the king in chief or of John de Britannia, whose lands are in the king's hands, by reason whereof the wardship of his lands ought to pertain to the king.
