72. THE ,I:RIORY OF PATRIXBOURNE
m.:u~><:

-John de Pratellis, who founded the priory of
Bbeaulielili, in Ehefforrest of l;fre:.ulx’,‘{in Normandiy,
2. out t e en 0 t e twe t century grante
to it the manor of Patrixbourne, of the inherit-

ance of his wife, and a cell was established there. .

The prior and canons of Patrixbourne were
afterwards dispossessed by King John, but were
allowed to have the land again in 1207 for a
payment of 30 marks and a palfrey.’

On the death of Simon, prior of Beaulieu, in
I 3 32, the king took the manor of Patrixbourne
into his hands, but at the complaint of the next
prior an inquisitioni’ was taken by which it was
found that the king had no right in it, and the
king accordingly on 4. October,’ 1333, ordered
the escheator not to" meddle further.‘ During
the war with France the manor was taken into
the king’s hands with other lands of aliens and
committed to the custody of the proctor of the

‘ s'~rior of Beaulieu, at a rent of £10 yearly; but

.11 1340 it was surrendered by him on the
ground that he could notpay the rent, and com-
mitted to the custody of the abbot of Langdon
on the same terms.‘ ' '
On 7 June, I 390, Richard Altrincham had
licence to acquire the manor from the prior and
convent of Beaulieu for sixty years, on condition
that he rendered to the king as much as they then

, did.‘ He sold his estate in it to the prior and

convent of Merton, in Surrey, on 3 October,
1409 ;7 and on 11 August foliowing the king

, granted licence for the prior and convent of

Beaulieu to grant the manor to the prior and
convent of Merton in mortmain under the con-
dition that the latter should pay I003. yearly at
the Exchequer during the war.“

73. THE PRIORY for NEW ROMNEY
The Cistercian Abbey of Pontigny in France

vowed its possessions at Romney to" its connexion
with the archbishops of Canterbury. Thomas
‘ Becket was received at the abbey while in exile,‘

as was also Stephen Langton; and the latter in
1222 granted to the abbey 50 marks yearly from

the church of Romney,’ the grant being con-
firmed by the convent of Christchurch, Canter-
bury,"’ and Pope Honorius III ‘ in the same year.
Archbishop Edmund, who was afterwards buried
at Pontigny,‘ added IO marks in 1238,” the
convent of Christchurch confirming the grant in
1245.7 Archbishop Boniface in I264. granted 3
the whole church to the abbey, reserving a
Vicarage; and Romney thus became ‘a cell to
Pontigny, though it is doubtful whether there
was ever any regular settlement of monks at it.

During the war with France the possessions
of the abbey were taken into the king’s hands
and let‘ at farm. In 1342 John de Wymbourne
held them at a rent of 40 marks yearly, but was
unwilling to pay more, and they were let to
Joan de Bare, countess of Warenne, and William
de Wath, clerk, at a rent of 45 marks.” The
advowson of the Vicarage was also seized by the
king.” . _

The possessions of aliens were finally con-
fiscated by Act of Parliament in the reign of
Henry V; and Henry VI on 20 May, 1.439,
granted ‘ the priory ’ of Romney to the warden
and college of All Souls, Oxford.“

74. THE PRIORY OF THROWLEY

The alien priory of Throwley, a cell to the
abbey of St. Bertin at St. Omer in France, was
founded about the middle of the twelfth century.
Hugh de Chileham, son of Foubert of Dover,
by a charter’ near the end of the reign of
Stephen granted the church of Chilham to the
abbey; and William de Ipra by another charter
about the same time granted the churches of
Chilham and Throwley. The grants were con-
firmed by Stephen, Pope Anastasius IV, and
Theobald, archbishop of Canterbury; and after-
wards by Henry II and Richard I and by -later
archbishops. ‘ . V

Sir Nathanael de Levelande claimed the chapel
of Leaveland against the monks, but yielded
when the abbots of Favershaxn and Boxley were
appointed to settle the dispute. Richard, arch-
bishop of Canterbury, then claimed it; but Pope
Alexander III ordered the bishops of'Exeter and
VVorcester to hear the case, and .it was proved
that the chapel was one of those belonging to
the church of Throwley, as granted togthe monks
by Archbishop Theobald.’ About the same time
Henry de Insula endeavoured to withdraw him-
self from the parochial jurisdictionof Throwley,
