Order to John Moriz, escheator in Ireland, to make inquisition whether William de Burgo, earl of Ulster, died seised in his demesne as of fee of the liberty of Ulster, as the king has learned, and of whom it is held and by what service and how much it is worth, and if so, to take it into the king's hand and keep it safely until further order, so that he answer for the issues thereof, and to send the inquisition with this writ to the Chancery of England; the escheator having found by inquisitions returned to the said Chancery that the earl held in his demesne as of fee the castle and manor of Forde with other castles, manors, lands, rents and liberties in Ireland in chief by the service of twenty-two knights fees, and that Elizabeth his daughter is his next heir and of the age of two years.
