January 1326

Jan. 1.
Bury St. Edmunds.
To the lady Majora Garcie. The king's envoys lately sent to Spain to contract certain marriages have informed the king of the benevolent and honourable manner in which she treated them in those parts, for which he renders her special thanks. As he is informed that it is said before her by some persons that Edward, his eldest son, will be married elsewhere in France by him, and that for this reason many of the magnates of those parts are angered, the king signifies to her that Edward has not been married there, and that there is no treaty with such an object in progress, and that it is not the king's will or intention that his son shall be married anywhere except where negotiations have been carried on at another time by his envoys, and that for this reason he sent Master Peter de Galiciano to Spain to confirm what had been treated of previously, and has, moreover, caused the pope to be requested by his special letters to grant a dispensation for the marriage by reason of consanguinity.
