P. R. O.—Ex. L. T. R.—Foreign
Accounts. Roll II., fo. 29. These
Rolls, which are supplementary to the
Pipe Rolls, are styled foreign, because
they contain accounts other than those
rendered by the sheriff, and so were
under a different category, or foreign to
the Pipe Rolls, which were exclusively
devoted to accounts rendered by the
sheriffs. They resemble the Pipe Rolls
in their legible but antiquated style of
writing, as well as in their unwieldiness.
There are some important entries in
this Roll relating to Yorkshire, of which
I give brief notes.
(m. 1) The account of Richard
Oysel, keeper of the vill of Kyngeston
upon Hull, and of the Grange of
Miton, of the issues of the same from
December 2nd, 25 Edward I. (1296), to
Michaelmas next following (September
29th, 1297), namely, for the fortythree last weeks of the 25th year, and
from the 26th to the 33rd years of the
same reign. (m. 3) The account of
Richard Oysel, keeper of the king's
lands in Holdernesse, by Ranulph de
Folesham, his attorney, from the morrow
of Michaelmas, 31 Edward I. (Sept. 30th,
1303) to 34 Edward I. (m. 6) The
account of Richard de Thorp and
Roger de Camera, executors of Richard
Oysel, late keeper of the king's lands
in Holdernesse, deceased, from the
morrow of Michaelmas, 34 Edward I.
(Sept. 30th, 1306) to Friday, the Feast
of the Translation of St. Thomas the
Martyr, namely July 7th, year 35 (1307),
on which day the same King E. died;
and from the same July 7th, on which
day Edward, his son and heir, began to
reign, to Michaelmas next following
(Sept. 29th, 1307), that is for the whole
thirty-fifth year, before he delivered up
the manor of Brustwyk with its appurtenances and the vill of Kyngeston
upon Hull, to Milo de Stapelton, to
whom Edward II. had committed the
custody. (m. 16) An account by
Lambert de Trikingham for himself and
John de Byroun of the rents of the
temporalities of the Archbishopric of
York, which were taken into the king's
hand for certain reasons, from July 10th,
32nd year (1304), to Oct. 1st next
following, on which day the said temporalities were taken into the king's
hands on the death of Archbishop
Thomas of Corbridge. (m. 23) An
account by Milo de Stapelton of the
rents of the Castle and Honour of
Knaresburgh, with its members and
appurtenances, from Sept. 30th, 1305,
to Sept. 29th, 1306, and on m. 24, from
Sept. 30th, 1306, to Friday, the Feast of
the Translation of St. Thomas the
Martyr, namely, July 7th next following, on which day the same Lord King
Edward died; and from the same
July 7th, on which day Edward, son
and heir of the said King Edward,
began to reign; and then to Sunday
next after the Feast of the Assumption
of the Blessed Virgin, namely, Aug.20th next following (1307), before he
delivered the said castle "cum veteri
burgo," and all its members and appurtenances, to Peter de Gavaston, Earl of
Cornwall, to whom the king gave and
granted the whole county of Cornwall,
with the Castle and Honour of Walingford, Berkamstede and Knaresburgh,
and all the lands and tenements which
belonged to Edmund, formerly Earl of
Cornwall, "per breve Regis patens sub
privato sigillo suo, quo utebatur antequam regni sui gubernacula sic suscepit,
dicto Miloni inde directum, cujus datum
est apud Dunfrees, xj die Augusti,
anno primo." (m. 33) John de Byroun
and John de Doncastre rendered account

reign, besides a thirtieth of the goods
of the Templars; and of the Prior and
Brethren of the Hospital of St. John of
Jerusalem in England and their villains,
besides a thirtieth for those whose goods
were under ten shillings. In the East

(Sept. 29th, 1306). |

In Kirkby's Inquest (p. 218n) the editor gives a carefully compiled account of the Sampson family, beginning with a certain Alan Sampson, who was no doubt a near relation of the abovenamed Adam. In the British Museum (Add. MSS. No. 28,780) is a briefer pedigree, which supplements the one just referred to. As it is short, I give it at length:—"Memorandum quod Alanus Sampson, Civis Ebor., obiit A.D.millesimo ccmo septuagesimo tercio, Johanne Sampson, Ch'r, filio suo et herede, tune plene etatis existente, viz., anno regni Regis Edwardi primi pos. conquestum secundo per estimacionemt Idem Johannes Sampson, Ch'r, obiit A.D. Mmo ccmo xmo, Henrico Sampson, filio suo et herede, tune plene etatis existente, viz., anno regni Regis Edwardi secundi post conquestum quarto. Idem Henricus Sampson obiit intestatus, anno regni Regis Edwardi tercii post conquestum xxxjmo (1357), ut dicitur, Johanne Sampson, filio suo et herede, tune plene etatis existente. Idem Johannes Sampson, filius Henrici, obiit in festo Decollationis S. Johannis Baptiste (Aug. 29th), A.D. millesimo cccmo sexagesimo nono, viz., anno regni Regis E. tercii xliijcio, Willelmo Sampson, filio suo et herede, patre Dionisie que nunc est, infra etatem existente." |
