To the sheriff of Norfolk and Suffolk. At the complaint of Gilbert
Roberd, burgess of Ipswich, Richard Salvayn of Graham, Richard de
Clopton of Graham, and Nicholas de Walsokne, that whereas they lately
freighted a ship at Ipswich to carry 29 serplers (sarpell') of wool thence to
Le Swyn in Flanders, in order to trade there with the same, and loaded her
with wool and other their goods, Arnald de Stanbergh and Peter his brother
and other malefactors of the power of the duke of Brabant, on Sunday
before Midsummer, in the eighth year of the king's reign, entered the ship
by armed force on the coast near Newport in Flanders, and carried away the
ship with the wool and other goods to the value of 400l. to Stonbergh
within the power of the said duke, and took the wool and other goods in her
and 10l. sterling in money by tale, the king frequently requested the duke to
cause restitution and satisfaction to be made for the same; but the duke, who
is under age, and his councillors failed to do justice to the said merchants, as
appears by the letters patent of the bailiffs and community of Ipswich;
wherefore the king orders the sheriff to arrest goods of the men of the duke's
power to the value of 210l., in part satisfaction of the above sum, certifying
the king of his proceedings herein. The king has ordered the sheriff of
Huntingdon to arrest goods in like manner to the value of 200l., the balance
of the above sum. |

goods, and wares of William le Rede, Hermann le Skippere, Henry de
Bevre, John Saffran, and their fellows, of John le White, Co[n]rad le Sward,
and other merchants of Almain to the value of 400l., as the said merchants
have appeared in chancery and have asserted that they could prove that
their goods ought not to be arrested on account of the robbery from the
aforesaid William de Wydeslade, and they have found mainpernors, to wit
Robert Person, Luke de Haveryngg', Stephen de Preston, Robert de
Codeford, John Cotum, John de Bristoll, John de Romeney, John de
Wrotham, and John Brond, who have undertaken to answer to the aforesaid William or elsewhere at the king's order for the aforesaid 400l. if the
