from any imperial subjection, there is such a number of notaries exercising
public office by imperial authority in this realm, both in matters the cognisance whereof pertains solely to the king and in other matters, that
peril of the disinheritance of the crown and great damage to the inhabitants
of this realm arise therefrom. By K. and C.

To Henry de Northwode and other merchants of England staying at

lately ordained by his council, to avoid the damages and grievances that
happened heretofore to the king and his progenitors and the merchants of
this realm, that native and foreign merchants buying wool and wool-fells
within this realm for the purpose of taking them to Brabant, Flanders, and
Artoys for sale, should take the same only to a certain staple to be ordained
within one of those lands by the mayor and community of the merchants
of this realm, and John de Cherleton, mayor of the said merchants, and the
community of the merchants ordained and appointed a staple at St. Omer
in Artoys for this season, nevertheless the said Henry and the other English
merchants at Brugge have made a confederacy to transfer themselves with
their wool and wool-fells elsewhere than to the said staple, and hinder
merchants of the king's realm and power transferring themselves from
Bruges to the aforesaid staple, and impose upon them grievous ransoms,
which they levy for their own use: wherefore the king enjoins them to
desist from such acts, and to cause any sums that they may have extorted
on this account to be restored with all speed, carrying themselves so in
the premises that the king may not have to stretch out his hand against
them. By K. and C. and afterwards by p.s. |
