To Walter de Glouc estria], escheator this side Trent. Order to restore to Krneburga de Hardreshull, elected abbess of Pollesworth, any issues of the abbey that he may have received by reason of the voidance of the abbey, as the king lately at the suit of the nuns of the abbey suggesting that he ought not to receive anything from the issues of the abbey by reason of its voidance, and that neither he or his ancestors were wont to receive any issues there by reason of voidance of the abbey in times past ordered the treasurer and barons of the exchequer to search the rolls of the exchequer concerning this, and they have certified him that having searched the rolls of the time of Master Richard de Clifford, Master Henry de Bray, and Malcolm de Harle, formerly escheators this side Trent, and of the time of Richard de Holebrok, formerly the king's steward this side Trent, during whose times the abbey was often void, they do not find in the accounts of the escheators and steward that they received anything by reason of the voidance of the abbey or answered to the king for anything thereof in their accounts, and the king has taken Erneburga s fealty and restored to her the temporalities of the house.
