To M. the pope. Brothers Garnerius and Rainerius de Florencia, of the
order of Preachers, came to the king when he was going towards the outer
parts of his realm, and have presented to him the pope's letters
concerning taking the cross and the king's counsel as to the term for a
general passage and as to expressing a suitable time for this; for the
understanding of which letters the king applied his mind, laying aside his
other cares, and for the receipt whereof he is deeply grateful as a mark of
the favour of the Roman church. The king has found the pope's envoys
so prudent and wise in the exposition of the matter committed to them
that their inductive persuasion has greatly comforted his heart, and his
royal meekness has much commended and accepted their praiseworthy
prudence in this matter. Although they pressed the king to cause answer
to be made to them before they started for Scotland, for which answer
they would willingly wait or return to him from Scotland, the king,
wishing that answer should be made to the pope by his men, is sending
envoys to the pope to whom he has opened his mind and who will
communicate to the pope the king's answer. Dated at Chester, 10 June.

good ability recommended by his study of letters and his manners and
merits, which petition will be presented by Master Robert de Scardeburg,
