Northumberland. Phillip of Oldcoates is to believe the king’s council and he will well recall that Mabel de Clere, who was the wife of Robert Bertram, made fine with King John, father of King Henry, by 500 m. for having the custody and marriage of Richard, her son, and so that she was not to be distrained to marry, of which Mabel owes the king £152 10s. 3d. The king has been given to understand that Richard removed himself from his mother’s custody and took a wife without the counsel of the king or his mother, wherefore order to the same Phillip to distrain Richard to pay £100 of the aforesaid fine, and for his relief, to the king at the Exchequer in the octaves of Hilary in the third year. If Richard will not wish to render the aforesaid £100 at the aforesaid term, saying that he does not owe relief, because he was in custody, Phillip is to know that it is provided by the king’s council that this excuse ought not to have any worth, because he removed himself from his custody before he had reached his full age and had married without licence from the king or Mabel, his mother. If it happens, as aforesaid, that Richard refuses to render the aforesaid £100, then Philip is, without delay, to cause Mabel to have full seisin of all of the lands of Richard of which she had seisin on the day on which he removed himself from the custody of the same Mabel.
