To the sheriffs of London. Whereas, owing to various arrests of goods
of the merchants of King Henry III. by Margaret, late countess of Flanders,
and of the merchants of Flanders made by the said king and by the late king,
it was agreed between the late king and Guy, late count of Flanders, for
himself and the said countess, that enquiry should be made as to the value
of the goods so seized on both sides, and that the value of the goods of the
Flemish merchants seized in England should go towards payment for the
goods of Englishmen seized in Flanders, and that the count should acquit the
said king and his father against the Flemish merchants, and if the value of
the goods seized in England were insufficient for the payment of the Englishmen for their goods seized in Flanders, then the count should make good the
deficiency, with like clause for restitution by the king in case the English
goods seized in Flanders were insufficient to satisfy the Flemish merchants
for their goods seized in England; and it was found by inquisitions that the
goods of the merchants of England, Ireland and Wales seized by the
countess were worth 4,000l. sterling more than the Flemish goods seized in
England; which sum the count did not pay, although often requested to do
so; whereupon the late king ordered that 730 marks in which the mayor and
community of the city of London were bound to certain burgesses of Ghent
on behalf of Henry III., which he found deposited in a certain place, should
be distributed to the said English merchants in part payment of the above
4,000l.; and the bailiffs and échevins of Ghent, at the procuration
of their said com-burgesses, caused the wool and other goods of William de
Luyton, Robert Person, Roger le Viroler, Richard de Wandesworth, William
le Folour, Henry de Arderne, William de Kent, Hugh Pourt, John Gombaud,
and Peter de Blakeneye, citizens of London, to be arrested to the value of
1,000l. sterling in the town of Sluys (de Exclusis) for the above 730 marks;
whereupon the late king frequently requested the bailiffs and échevins
to satisfy the said citizens for their goods so arrested, and to restore
the said bend to the mayor and community of London; the late king afterwards, because the bailiffs and échevins sent many frivolous and
untruthful replies to him and did not fulfil his request, desired Sir Robert
de Beton, count of Flanders, to do justice herein; and the present king
wrote to him requesting him to do speedy justice to the said citizens:
because the said count has not done justice to them, as appears by the
letters patent of the mayor and community of the city of London, the king
now orders the sheriffs to arrest goods of the men of Ghent to the value of
1,000l. sterling, the estimated value of the above goods, and to keep the
same until the said citizens have been satisfied, certifying the king of their
proceedings herein. By K. |

Lincoln that they have never contributed to any tenth granted to the king's
progenitors, because their means are not sufficient for their maintenance. |

the treasurer and to the barons of the exchequer to audit their accounts of
their receipts and payments in this behalf, notwithstanding that they had no
commission from the late king to execute the premises, and to restore to
them the letters of divers of those supplying the late king's place in the

felony, as it appears by the said inquisition that they were in the late king's
hands for a year and a day, and that they were held of the said John son
of Geoffrey Malet, and that Peter de Haddeclif now holds them, and that
Nicholas de Malemeyns had the king's year and day and ought to answer
for the same. |

answer for the same. |
