appointed Peter de Parys, burgess of Yoghel, to take corn, wine and other
victuals by sea from Ireland to him for his expedition into Wales, and to
take and bring with him twenty or thirty ships (navigia) great and small

reasonable expenses for hiring the said ships for this purpose and for the
maintenance of the sailors, for so long as he shall be engaged upon this
matter. |

To Stephen de Penecestre, warden of the Cinque Ports. Whereas the
king has ordained by the council of his realm, for the common benefit of
the realm, that all and singular merchants of Almain, Brabant, Holland
and Zealand may come into the realm with their ships, things and wares
safely and securely, and may there stay and trade there with the same,
and may return thence at their pleasure; and it is also ordained, for the
indemnity and security of the merchants aforesaid, that all those who have
ships and who shall cross the sea in their own persons with their ships
shall find good security for themselves and the mariners of the ships that
they shall inflict no wrong or damage upon any merchant or other of
Almain, Brabant, Holland and Zealand in their persons or goods; and if
those having ships do not come with the ships, then those whom they shall
have appointed in their place shall find the like security. If it happen
that any men be taken concerning whom there shall be doubt whether
they be of the power or dominion of the king of France or of the parts
aforesaid, they shall be brought to land alive, and if it be then found
that they are of the parts aforesaid and not of the power or dominion
of the king of France, they shall go quit; and if they be of the
power of the king of France, to wit of Lower Flanders (de Flandria
inferius), then their goods shall become the property of those who shall
have captured the men, in accordance with the king's ordinance upon
another occasion: the king, wishing that this ordinance shall be firmly
observed in the ports and places where ships or boats arrive, orders the
warden to cause it to be proclaimed in all the Cinque Ports and in the
members thereof, and to cause it to be firmly observed until otherwise
ordered by the king. By K. & C. |

to Adam de Fuleham, as attorney of Adam de Creting, who has set out
for Gascony in the king's service by his order, the lands that belonged to
Philip Burnel, tenant in chief, deceased, in Esthammes, co. Essex, as the
king learns by inquisition taken by the escheator that Adam de Creping
recovered against Philip, before the steward and marshal, a debt of
120l. 1s. 8d., and that he had seisin of Philip's lands in Esthammes,
which are extended at 39l. 7s. 0d. by his said attorney by delivery from

justices last in eyre in co. Westmoreland with harbouring Robert de
Appelby, a felon, who was outlawed for the death of Nicholas de
Hastingg', and also with harbouring William de Harcla, charged with
aiding and assenting to the felony, because Richard purged himself of this
crime before J. bishop of Carlisle, the diocesan, and the king learnt by
inquisition taken by the sheriff and coroners of that county that Richard
is of good fame, and the sheriff delivered to Richard his goods and chattels,
which were appraised at the sum aforesaid, and the treasurer and barons
refused to allow this sum to William, in accordance with the king's order,
because they were not certified whether Richard had fled or not, and the
king now learns by the testimony of Hugh de Cressingham, chief justice
of the said eyre, that Richard did not fly. |

William, and that Roger de Swynnerton, Henry de Cressewall, William de

and of which she enfeoffed Remi and Dionysia by her charter, and which
were taken into the king's hands by the order of Hugh de Cressingham
and his fellows, justices in eyre in that county, because Remi and Dionysia

To Stephen de Penecestre, constable of Dover Castle and warden of the
Cinque Ports. Whereas among the goods and wares that the king lately
caused to be arrested in the port of Sandwich by Stephen at the
prosecution of certain merchants of Bayonne, who asserted before the
king that they had been robbed of their goods and wares within the
power of the king of Portugal by certain mariners of the realm of Spain,
there was arrested a certain lot (pars) of iron in the hands of Peter de
Vinea, merchant of Bayonne, which he had bought from certain merchants of Spain for a sum of money, whereof he had paid 60l. only; for
which reason the king ordered 60l. worth of the iron to be delivered to
Peter by proof that he made before the king in the presence of the said
merchants who had been thus robbed, with their assent, and ordered the
remainder of the iron to be divided among the merchants according to
the damages that each of them should prove before Stephen that he had
sustained by the said mariners of Spain, and to cause their shares to be
delivered to them; and Peter Saus of Gyson, one of the merchants who
were thus robbed, was in the king's service at the time of the partition of
goods, so that he could not appear before Stephen, for which reason he
has not yet received his portion pertaining to him of the remainder of the
iron: the king, not wishing that his service aforesaid should damage
Peter, orders Stephen to cause Peter to have his portion aforesaid, if there
be any of the said remainder in Stephen's custody from which he can be
satisfied. |
