On IF. 88b, 90a is the account of the Scottish royal household
here printed.
It is followed (f. 906) by the conditions for the surrender of
Berwick, 16 July 1333.4
On f. 916 collections concerning the Irish Exchequer begin,&
extending to f. 966.
The next item (f. 97) is an interesting newsletter in French
on Robert d’Artois’s defeat of the French, 26 July 1340,
entitled ‘ La copie dune lettre qui vient de la outre de la des-

It confirms the details of the story as told by Adam Murimuth
and adds no further particulars. It is accompanied by the
French form of the truce of 9 January, 1344.6
On f. 98a some Latin verses on monasticism have been
entered and on f. 986 is a valuable table of weights and
measures, adding materially to the facts known from the table
printed in the Statutes of the Realm, i. 204-5. The account
of the land measures which follows is the same as that already
in print in the statutes.

faissel, Fr. faisceau, ‘fagot,’ formerly ‘burden.’ The pony is the beast of
burden, not for riding. * Sic.
3 I am at a loss to explain. The pony taken into the king’s hand is apparently
to be kept in severalty, and the sheriff is to answer for the issue (its young).
4 Fcedera, ii. 865.
3 These have been printed in Eng. Hist. Rev., July 1903.
