Influenced by the admonitions of the pope, and the solicitations A . D. nie. of the clergy, king Edward, on the 26th of August, sent
orders to John de Crumbewcll, constable of the Tower, to deliver
up all the Templars in his custody, at the request of the in
quisitors, to the sheriffs of London, in order that the inquisitors
might be able to proceed more conveniently and effectually with
their inquisition. + And on the same day he directed the
sheriffs to receive the prisoners from the constable of the Tower,
and cause them to be placed in the custody of gaolers appointed
by the inquisitors, to be confined in prisons or such other conve
nient places in the city of London as the inquisitors and bishops
should think expedient, and generally to permit them to do with
the bodies of the Templars whatever should seem fitting, in
accordance with ecclesiastical law. He directs, also, that from
thenceforth the Templars should receive their sustenance at the
hands of such newly-appointed gaolers.J
On the Tuesday after the feast of St. Matthew, (Sept. 21st,)
the ecclesiastical council again assembled at Loudon, and caused
the inquisitions and depositions taken against the Templars to
be read, which being done, great disputes arose touching various
alterations observable in them. It was at length ordered that
the Templars should be again confined in separate cells in the
prisons of London ; that fresh interrogatories should be pre
pared, to see if by such means the truth could be extracted, and
