1 .   TNA - SC 8/158/7867
Entry Type: Petition
Summary: Valoyns requests remedy, as his church of Kirby Hill has been ruined and robbed by the Scots, and anything left has been taken by the keeper of Knaresborough Castle, leaving nothing to live off. The state of the church is attested by Assier, the collector of first fruits.
Language: French
Note: Presumably dates to the period 1317-1320, after Assier's arrival in England as papal collector and before his appointment as bishop of Winchester. Given that, it is probably referring to the Scottish invasion that led to the battle of Myton on 20 September 1319.
Dates: 1319/00/00, 1320/00/00
People and Groups: Addressee/s: King and Council; Sender/s: Robert de Valoyns [Valoignes], chanter of York, parson of Kirby Hill; Person/s: Master Rigaud [of Assier], collector of first fruits;
Places: Kirby Hill, North Riding of Yorkshire, England, Knaresborough, West Riding of Yorkshire, England
2 .   TNA - C 270/15/6
Entry Type: Letters patent
Summary: Fragmentary notarial copy of letters patent of Archbishop Melton, publishing the text of a bull of Pope John XXII (issued on 20 April 1322) for the collection of two papal tenths for the use of the king.
Language: Latin
Note: Only part of this document survives. For the full text of the papal bull, and the appointment of collectors, see TNA E 159/96, rot 72.
Dates: 1323/07/07
People and Groups: Sender/s: [William de Melton,] archbishop of York; Person/s: Richard de Snoweshull, notary public, Edward II, king of England, Pope John XXII;
Places: Bishopthorpe, West Riding of Yorkshire, England
3 .   TNA - C 270/14/13
Entry Type: Certification
Summary: Copy of the final part of a certification, evidently from Archbishop Neville to the king, noting that convocation met on 22 (recte 21) January 1384 in the chapter house in York and the following day granted the king half a tenth, payable at the quindene of Easter next. Exceptions were given to Augustinian and Benedictine nuns. The priors of Malton and Lenton were appointed as collectors.
Language: Latin
Note: Clearly says that convocation met on Thursday 22 January 1384, and the tax was granted on the following Friday. However, 22 January was a Friday, and the next Friday (29 January) was after the date of the letters, suggesting that 22 is an error for 21 January, the date noted in the archbishop's letter to the bishop of Durham (Bray, Records of Convocation, XIII, p. 212). The royal writ to Durham (op. cit., p. 213) refers to the tax being granted on 23 January, but presumably based on the present erroneous document. It seems likely that the days of the week are correct, and convocation met on Thursday 21 January, and granted the tax on Friday 22 January. For the appointment of collectors by the bishop of Durham, see TNA E 135/10/18.
Dates: 1384/01/28
