Stanhope.
To the prior of Huntyngdon. Whereas the king, pitying the estate of Robert de Waldeshef, clerk, who is smitten with leprosy and deprived of sight by that infirmity, sent him to the warden and brethren of the lepers' hospital of St. Margaret, Huntingdon, requesting them to admit him to dwell amongst them until his death as a brother of the hospital, and to administer to him necessaries in food and clothing and other things as a brother of the hospital, and they have written back to the king that the portion of each brother of the hospital is so slender that it is barely sufficient for their own maintenance, and that Robert is married, and that his wife suffers from the same infirmity; the king, wishing to provide Robert with his maintenance, orders the prior to go to the hospital in person, and to survey its state, and if he find that Robert can be maintained out of its goods in addition to the maintenance of the warden and brethren without oppression of the hospital, he is to cause the warden and brethren to administer to Robert his necessaries in food, clothing, and other things as one of the brethren for life, and if the means of the hospital are insufficient for this purpose, he is to certify the king by his letters without delay.

[A.D. 1322], certain good men of the City informed Hamo de Chig[welle], the Mayor, and the Aldermen that John Waldeshef, a sworn serjeant of the City, was opposed to the grant of an aid to the King for the war in Scotland, and was spreading false reports, &c., and asked that he might be attached to answer for his conduct. On a day named he fails to appear before the Mayor, and Nicholas de Farndone, Richard de Gloucestre, Elias de Suffolk, Roger de Frowik, Richard de Betoigne, Edmund Lambyn, John Cotoun, Robert de Swalclyve, Hamo Godchep, R[eginald] de Conduit, John de Prestone, Hugh de Gartone, Robert le Callere, Robert Sely, Roger le Palmere, Henry de Secch[ford], W[illiam] de Hedersete, John Poyntel, and John Priour, Aldermen, and Richard Costantyn, Alderman, and Richard de Hakeneie, the Sheriffs, and a great number of the Commonalty assembled in the Guildhall to hear his defence.

Evidence having been given of his having (inter alia) opposed the raising of the sum of 2,000 marks in aid of the King and of his disseminating discord among great and small, it was adjudged that he should be deprived of the freedom of the City and of his fee of 100s. paid to him by the Chamberlain on behalf of the Commonalty,1 and that he should be removed from the Council of the City and not be allowed to plead for any one in the City.2
