373. Notification by Richard son of William Fitz Reinger of a rent that he is bound to render to Matilda de Paris: £2 for that land which she granted and confirmed to him by charter, for her lifetime, in the parish of St Margaret towards London Bridge. After Matilda's d., Richard and his heirs will render only 5s. annually to the Chamber of the church of SS. Peter and Paul of Westminster, as her charter bears witness. Matilda is empowered to distrain on that fee for non-payment of the rent. [Temp. John]
