To the consules and schöffen (scabinis) of the city of Campe. The king
lately received, while engaged in the Scotch war, the complaint of his
merchants John de Bliton, Walter de Baiocis, Henry de Seuerby, Richard
de Scarle, Walter de Ebor', and Robert de Oxon', citizens of Lincoln, and of
Nicholas de Thymelby, of Lyndeseye, setting forth that certain malefactors
of the said city of Campe and of the towns of Camp' and Lubyk and elsewhere in the parts of Estland entered, on Midsummer day last, on the English
coast, in hostile manner a ship that the said merchants had freighted at
Boston and loaded with wool and other goods to the value of 1,244l. 10s.
and sent by their men to Brabant to trade therewith, and took and carried
away the said goods; the king afterwards, upon his return to London,
caused inquisition to be made concerning the premises, whereby it was
found that the said merchants were so robbed on the coast of Norfolk near
Crumere near the land by malefactors, merchants, mariners, and others of
Campe and the other towns aforesaid to the value abovesaid, and that the
malefactors proceeded to the said town with the goods, and were there
received, and that they were maintained by the merchants of those towns
resident in this kingdom here and elsewhere exercising merchandise with
the goods of the said malefactors in champarty; although the king could
in equity have distrained the merchants of the said towns resident in his
realm until justice had been done to his said merchants, he nevertheless
requested the said consules and schöffen to cause satisfaction to be done to
his said merchants; to which they replied that their townsmen and citizens
within the king's realm had received many damages from men of the king's
power and requested the king to cause satisfaction to be made for the same,
adding that this could not well be done without the king's conduct
being granted to their citizens aforesaid; as it is not consonant with right
that those things that are clearly known should await things that have yet
to be declared, the king requests them to cause restitution or recompence to
be made to his merchants for the premises, so that it may not behove the
said merchants to make renewed complaint to the king. They are to
certify him what they have ordered to be done in this matter. The king
is prepared to do justice to any of their citizens complaining of injuries
inflicted upon them by the king's subjects, and he wishes that they and all
their fellow-citizens may safely come into his realm, receiving justice and
doing the same to others. |

amends to be made to them for their damages, as it is not consonant with

things yet to be made clear. As the king wishes to aid his said merchants
with justice, he again requests them by these letters to cause satisfaction
to be made to the said merchants according to the contents of his other
letters, certifying him of their proceedings by their letters and by the
