Commission to Master Thomas de Sudington and Walter de Hopton to go to Havreford and to see that William de Valencia, the king's uncle, and Joan his wife, are no longer impeded by Hugh de Cressingham, king's clerk, steward of Eleanor the king's consort, who has presumed several times to neglect the king's mandates, but that the said William and Joan enjoy unmolested the benefit of the arrangement made upon the exchange . 331 the barony of Havreford between Humphrey de Bohun, earl of Hereand Essex, and Eleanor the king's consort, viz., that the men and of the said barony should, upon the summons and attachments of steward, sheriff and other ministers of the said William and Joan in come to the county of Penbrok both to make recognisances in juries and inquisitions, and to do and receive justice there as they before the said barony came into the said Eleanor's hands, in the same as the men of the baronies of Roche (Rupe) and Castle Galwan were are accustomed to do; as it appears that the said Hugh de Cressinghaum other of the queen's ministers have wearied Robert de Valle and other of the said William and Joan in those parts by heavy distraints they did their fealty to the king and his consort for those fees for which did fealty to the said William before the said exchange, and moreover Thomas de Rupe, lord of the barony of Roche, from doing his at the county of Pembroke, and have entered the said county in unfashion and are making undue distraints, and in all the ways can disquiet and molest the said William and Joan. By writ of the great seal.
