To R. count of Flanders. Whereas it was lately found by an inquisition
taken by the sheriff of Kent that John Crabbe and certain other malefactors
of the land of Flanders had taken by armed power a ship called 'Le Bon
An' of Strode, laden at Bordeaux with 86 tuns (solidis) and 25 pipes of
wine by Aymer de Insula, citizen and merchant of Bordeaux, and Arnold
Dosynghone, citizen and merchant of Bazas (Vasaten'), on her voyage to
London, at Les Dunes on the sea coast near the Isle of Thanet, and that
they carried the ship with them to Flanders; and the king wrote to the
count to cause restitution or satisfaction to be made to the said merchants;
and the count at length replied that he was ignorant of the premises as he
was not certified of the aforesaid deed nor of the persons who committed it,
adding that he would punish the delinquents if found within his power; at
which answer the king is much astonished, since John Crabbe the principal
perpetrator is well known to be of the county of Flanders and stays therein,
as the king learns, when he wishes, and the king learns in addition that the
wines aforesaid come to the count's use and profit, and that the count gave
the ship to the lord of Meldyngham: wherefore the king requests him to
cause restitution of the ship and wines, or satisfaction therefor, and for their
damages to be made to the said merchants without further delay, so that it
may not behove the king to provide them with another remedy. The count
is desired to write back an account of his proceedings herein by the bearer. |

To R. count of Flanders. Because it was lately found by an inquisition
taken by the sheriff of Kent that certain malefactors of the count's power
took by armed force a ship of Robert Youn, Alan atte Warfe, and Thomas
Tuk, citizens and merchants of London, called 'La Swalewe' of London,
laden with wines, linen cloths, canvas, and other goods of Robert, Alan,
Thomas, and of Henry le Palmer, whilst anchored at Mergate within the
king's power, and slew the master and mariners of the same, and took away
with them the ship and her tackle, price 200 marks sterling, together with
the goods and merchandize found in her, to wit 25 tuns and 7 pipes of
wine, price 171l. sterling, canvas, linen cloth, and other goods to the value
of 24l. sterling, silver cups, beds, robes, armour and other small necessaries,
price 30l. sterling, and 60l. sterling in money by tale, and carried the same
to La Swyne within the count's dominion, detaining the same from the said
merchants to their damage of 100l. in addition to the above sums, the king
frequently requested the count to cause restitution or satisfaction to be
made to the said merchants; and the count at length replied that he was in
ignorance in this matter, as he was not informed concerning the above deed
nor of those who committed it, adding that he would punish them if found
within his power; as it is now testified before the king that (apud) Lambesin
White, William Hoscard, William Denel, Christian Wolpyn, John Spaynard,
William Reinald, Quintin Hereman, Quintin Broun, Hanekyn Colure,
Richard Rawel, John Malefit, Quintin le Penson, John le Moselere, John
Lemesone, and Peter Seeman committed the said trespass and robbery, and
that they took with them to Flanders a boy (garcionem) found in the said
ship, having slain the mariners and all others found in her, which boy
stayed in Flanders for nearly a year with some of the trespassers aforesaid
and with John le Gos, then the count's bailiff of Leschufe, and that the
wines found in the ship were delivered by the said malefactors to John
Tripet of Male for the count's use, which John appropriated to himself a dog
found in the ship together with the charter of the freight of the ship, and
that the aforesaid Quintin Lempescue (sic) sold the said ship to John
Lompesone, his brother, who repaired it otherwise than it was before
in order that it should not be recognised; wherefore the king signifies the
premises to the count in evidence of the affair, and requests him to cause
restitution or satisfaction to be made to the said merchants of their ship and
goods and their damages without further delay, according to the contents
of the count's aforesaid letter, so that it may not behove the king to provide
them with another remedy. He is desired to write back an account of his
proceedings by the bearer. |

To R. count of Flanders. Because it was lately found by inquisition
taken by the sheriff of Kent that certain malefactors of the count's power
entered by armed force a ship of Hamo de Chiggewell, merchant of London,
called 'La Nicolas' of London, laden with wine, oil, and other goods of

master, mariners, and merchants, price 20l., and slew the master and
mariners of the ship, except three mariners, and afterwards scuttled and
sank the ship and her tackle, price 250 marks sterling, the king requested
the count to cause restitution or satisfaction to be made to the said
merchants; to which the count at length replied that he was in ignorance
of the premises since he was not informed of the deed nor of those who committed it, adding that he would punish the delinquents if found in his
power; at which answer the king marvels, since it was found by the said
inquisition that the malefactors were of the count's power, and that they
had committed the premises by the maintenance and assent of the count and
of all the community of Flanders, and it is testified before the king that the
said malefactors came upon the sea with a great fleet of ships and so
perpetrated the aforesaid robbery, and that the deed was committed at the
place aforesaid, the men of those parts standing by and seeing it and having
full notice that the trespassers (transgressionibus) were of the count's
power; wherefore the king requests the count to cause restitution or
satisfaction to be made to the said merchants without delay for the same
and their damages, so that it may not behove the king to provide them
with another remedy. The count is requested to write back by the bearer
an account of his proceedings herein. |

To Robert, count of Flanders. Whereas the king lately requested him
to do justice to William [de] Cumbmartyn, citizen and merchant of London,
and John Gregory, Adam Fode, and Edward Reygnald, merchants of Lym,
concerning 29 serplers of wool taken and carried away from them in a
river between Gravelinges and Bystath by John de Fienles and his men, and
he wrote back that he had addressed the said John concerning this matter,
and John replied that he would, out of reverence for the king and love of the
count, satisfy the said merchants for the wool if the king would cause the value
thereof to be levied of the said John's goods and chattels within this realm
at fitting terms, and would cause the same to be paid to the merchants. The
king is gratified with this answer, but as he cannot well fulfil what is
contained in the answer by the count's answer without the aforesaid John,
he requests the count to induce John to satisfy the merchants or their
attorneys for the value of the wool aforesaid, or to cause his letters patent
to be made in due form to them containing the value of the wool and the
terms of payment, whereby the king may cause the value to be levied of
John's lands and goods in England and may pay the same to the merchants.
If John refuse to do so, the count is requested to cause justice to be done
to the merchants, as it pertains to him to do justice to those complaining of
such trespasses within his power, so that it may not behove the king to
provide them with another remedy. He is desired to write back by the
bearer an account of his proceedings in this matter, and of what the said
John shall cause to be done. |

To John, lord of Fyenles. On the complaint of Adam Hunteman,
merchant and citizen of London, that whereas he caused 13 serplers of wool
to be laden in a ship in the port of London in order to take the same to
St. Omer to make his profit thereof, the said John and his bailiffs of Gynes,
believing the wool to be the property of someone of the town of St. Omer
and not of the king's land or power, caused it to be arrested in Gynes, the
king has frequently written to him requesting him to cause satisfaction or
restitution thereof to be made to Adam; and the said John has signified to
the king, amongst other things, that, although he understood from burgesses
of Ypres and elsewhere that the wool belonged to certain men of St. Omer,
he had assigned a day to the said merchant within the quinzaine of the
Purification to return to him, promising him that he would, out of love for
the king, do in this behalf what of right ought to suffice; for which the
king thanks him. The king, confiding in his promise, has caused the said
merchant to be sent to him, and he requests him to cause restitution to be
made of the wool aforesaid, together with the damages sustained by the said
merchant, without delay, so that it may not behove the king to provide the
merchant with another remedy. |

he exacts from the deans and prebendaries of the chapels and the
prebends thereof certain intolerable impositions and payments, and compels
them to pay the same by ecclesiastical censure, whereas they are free
chapels of the king, and are exempt, together with the prebends and
