To the sheriff of Southampton. Whereas the late king, at the frequent
complaint of Peter de Sancto Paulo, that John Pedrogue and other malefactors of the power of M. countess of Artois (Atrabaten') violently spoiled
him on the sea of his goods to the value of 350l. sterling, and carried the
same to Hauk' in the county of Dreux (Durewe), many times requested the
countess to cause restitution and satisfaction to be made to Peter for his
goods and damages, and he afterwards, because she neglected to exhibit
justice to the aforesaid Peter requested the king of France to cause justice
to be done to Peter in her default, and although the king of France frequently ordered the countess to cause amends to be made to Peter, she has
done nothing in the matter; wherefore the present king, after his accession,
requested the countess to cause due satisfaction to be made to Peter within
a certain time now past without further delay or excuse, Peter being much
impoverished and aggrieved in sueing for justice, but she did nothing in the
matter, but altogether failed to do him justice, as fully appears by public
instruments and other lawful documents produced by Peter in chancery;
whereupon the king ordered the abbot of Rammeseye's bailiffs of St. Ives
to arrest goods of the men and merchants of the power of the countess to
the value of 350l., and to cause the same to be kept safely until Peter should
be satisfied for that sum or until otherwise ordered, as appears by the rolls
of chancery; and it is now shewn to the king by the petition of Peter
Norman and Thomas de Langar, executors of Peter's will, exhibited before
the king and his council, that although the said Peter de Sancto Paulo had
the said writ of arrest in his life, he died whilst prosecuting the matter without having any satisfaction, wherefore his executors prayed the king to
provide a remedy: the king therefore orders the aforesaid sheriff to arrest
goods of the men and merchants of the power of the aforesaid countess to
the value of 350l., and to cause the same to be kept safely until the executors
be satisfied for that sum or until otherwise ordered, certifying the king of
the goods arrested by him. By pet. of C. |

Boston. Order to desist from making undue exactions from native and
alien merchants beyond the proper custom for their wool, wool-fells, and
hides, and to release any distraint they may have made on this account, as
complaint is made to the king that they make undue exactions upon the
aforesaid merchants, and take security that they will go with their wool,
wool-fells, and hides to a certain staple beyond sea and not elsewhere, at
which the king is astonished, as no order to make such exactions has been
issued by him. |

may be blocked up or ships be hindered from coming to the port, and to
cause any persons doing so after this proclamation to take out at their own
expense the stones and other things thus thrown in by them, and to punish
them for such trespass, as the king is given to understand that certain men
of that town and certain others coming by water throw stones into the
water of Hull, on which account it is feared that in process of time the port
of that water will be blocked up, or at least that such peril will threaten
ships coming into that water that merchants will withdraw themselves from
the town. |

been wasted by the attack of Edward de Brus and his accomplices, Scotch
rebels, to be levied according to the new taxation thereof made by the king's
order, and to answer to the king at his exchequer of Dublin according to
the new taxation, as the clergy have besought the king to cause the said
tenths that still remain unlevied to be levied according to the new taxation,
because the benefices and temporalities aforesaid are still wasted and impoverished. The king has ordered the treasurer and barons of the exchequer to receive the tenth from the archbishop according to the new
taxation. |

service to him, the trespass whereof they were indicted before John de
Cherleton, mayor of the staple of wool, and Adam de Brom, the king's
justices to enquire concerning trespasses against the charter of the staple,
when the said merchants wholly submitted themselves to the king's grace
and acknowledged before him that, after the making of the charter of the
staple, they sent 4,800 sacks of wool from this realm, of which number they
caused 650 sacks to be taken out of the realm contrary to the charter, and
they excused themselves of the residue, asserting that they sent part of them
to Chalouns and part into Lombardy. |

having superseded his previous order to the sheriff and others to arrest goods
to this amount at the count's request, who sent envoys to treat for concord
between his men and merchants and the men and merchants of this realm,
as such concord has not been concluded because certain of the said envoys,
without whom the others could do nothing, returned home without licence.
The king has ordered the sheriffs of London to arrest goods in like manner

exchequer, by which charter the king granted them power to enclose as
much as they could of his marsh of Pevenese, which was flooded by the
reflux of the sea and was in no one's tenancy, and that they might hold of
the king for their lives what they should thus inclose, rendering therefor a
pair of gilt spurs yearly, as they have enclosed nothing of the said marsh by
virtue of the charter, but have delivered the charter into chancery to be
cancelled, for which reason the king has caused it to be cancelled in the rolls
of his chancery. |

de Pontefracto, Ralph de Burton, William de la Sale, John de Corbrigg,
Walter de Swaynby of Jarum, John de Burgh, Thomas de Houeden, and
Richard de Dalton, merchants of this realm, that whereas the burgomasters,
échevins and consules of the town of Bruges caused proclamation to be
made that all persons wishing to exchange gold or silver money in that
town should carry the same to the exchange of that town, and deliver it to
the keeper thereof, and that they should receive good money or silver in mass
in exchange therefor at a certain day to be agreed upon between them and
the keeper of the exchange, and that, if the keeper failed to satisfy them
in this manner, the burgomasters, échevins and consules would cause competent satisfaction to be made, the said merchants delivered 2,200 great florins
to the keeper of the said exchange, on condition that they should receive
the value thereof at a certain day long since elapsed, and the keeper of the
exchange and the burgomasters, échevins, and consules refused to satisfy
the said merchants at the said day or afterwards for 1,245½ great gold
florins and 28½d. sterling then in arrear of the value of the aforesaid florins,
although the king frequently requested them to satisfy the said merchants
for the arrears aforesaid and for their damages, which they did not do, as
appears by the testimony of the bailiffs and community of Newcastle-onTyne under their common seal; and R. count of Flanders, whom the king
requested to cause justice to be done in this matter, did nothing, excusing
himself by writing back, amongst other things, that his men of Bruges had
not done what they ought to have done in refusing to satisfy the said
merchants; whereupon the king caused ships and other goods of the men
and merchants of the said town of Bruges and of the towns of Damme,
Hok, Munkerad, Scluse, Arneburgh, Colkerk, Lambeschur, Mouth, Sleperdamme, Osburgh, Blankebergh, Ostend, Lopham, Riderford, Dugen, and

in part satisfaction of 394l. 10s. 6½d., the value of the aforesaid 1,245½ great
florins and 28½d. sterling, each florin being reckoned at 6s. 4d.; and the
king ordered goods of the merchants and men of the aforesaid towns to be
arrested to the value of 278l., the balance remaining due to the aforesaid
merchants, which order was delayed by reason of the negociations between
the envoys of the count and the king's council until the present parliament,
when certain of the count's envoys returned home without licence: wherefore the king orders the sheriff to arrest goods of the men and merchants
of the said towns to the value of 278l., and to cause the same to be kept
safely until the aforesaid merchants have been satisfied for that sum, or until
otherwise ordered, certifying the king of his proceedings herein.

cargo at Flodegatenesse on the coast near England, and carried the same
with them to the count's power, and imprisoned the men of the ship at
Le Brele in Zeeland for nine weeks, the late king and the present king
