To the judge, schöffen, council, and townsmen of Kampen (Camp'). The
king has received their letters requesting him to give letters of conduct to their
townsmen and envoys to come into England and stay there to treat with
the king's council concerning the damages inflicted by their men upon the
merchants of Lincoln and others of the king's realm, concerning which the
king wrote to them, and concerning the damages inflicted upon their
merchants by the king's men; although it is not reasonable that the matter
of the said merchants of Lincoln, whose damages are clearly established
and acknowledged, should await the event of things that have yet to be
made clear, the king has granted letters of conduct for their townsmen and
envoys according to their request to endure until the feast of All Saints
next. They are to send to him before Michaelmas persons empowered to
make satisfaction to his merchants, when the king will cause justice to be
done concerning the wrongs inflicted by his subjects upon their men. He
will be unable to defer later than that date the provision of a fitting remedy
for his said merchants. |
