To William, count of Hainault, Holland and Zeeland, and lord of
Friesland. The king has received the count's letters by the bearer of the
presents, and he has heard their contents with good will. The count
writes that certain men of his town of Zirize have been slain at sea by
malefactors of the king's realm after safe-conduct had been given to all
merchants of the count's dominion, and that they were despoiled of their
goods, as was shown to the count by the complaint of the men of that town,
for which reason the count had not caused the day fixed for the reformation
of concord between his and the king's subjects concerning the damages and
injuries inflicted upon one another to be kept. The king signifies to him
that he had appointed certain of his subjects to treat of such concord with
the count's envoys at London at the day fixed, if the count had sent
them, and to make satisfaction for the king's subjects and to receive satisfaction, and that if anything had been attempted by the king's subjects
contrary to the safe-conduct given by him, although complaint thereof had
not been made to the king, it was hitherto, and is still, the king's intention
that such things should be duly emended before everything else, and as
it seemed to the king that it was expedient that for this reason the said day
and treaty for the reformation of the premises should have been observed,
he signifies to the count that it was not the king's fault that what had been
thus agreed upon was not completed, and that he is and will be prepared
to do what is just and reasonable in all things to the count and all others
complaining of the king's subjects. [Fœdera.] |

To John Travers, constable of Bordeaux. Simon de Mountbreton has
prayed the king that whereas he owes the king 76l. sterling for the issues of
the bailiwicks of Vinbraria (?) between the two seas, Crewe and Selve, in the
duchy of Aquitaine, which he lately had by the king's commission for
a certain ferm to be rendered yearly by the hands of the constable of
Bordeaux, and he served the king during the late disturbance in the duchy
with men-at-arms and footmen at his own cost, the king will assume the
debt to himself, and grant that he may pay 10l. yearly at Easter until the
debt be paid: the king, wishing to be certified concerning the same, orders
the constable to take information concerning the above, if necessary, and
to certify the king with all speed if Simon owe the above sum, and for what
reasons it is due, so that the king may cause to be done for Simon what shall
seem reasonable, superseding in the meantime the exaction of the above
sum from Simon. By K. |

To the burgomasters, échevins, consules, and whole community of Bruges
in Flanders. Whereas they have intimated to the king by their letters how
they were unable to send their envoys at St. Hilary last, the day fixed for
the reformation of concord between the king's subjects and the men and
merchants of Flanders concerning the damages inflicted upon each other, as
had been agreed, by reason of the absence of their lord, the count of
Flanders, and by reason of the discord between them and the town of
Ghent, and have prayed the king to excuse them, and to assign another day
for this purpose, at which day they will send envoys with full power upon
the disappearance of the hindrances aforesaid; the king signifies to them
that he considers their excuses sufficient and true, and that he excuses
them for not sending their envoys at the aforesaid day, and has caused
Ascension day next to be fixed for the commencement of such treaty. As
the time of the sufferance entered into between the king and them expires
at Easter next, the king has prorogued the same for a year from the said
feast, conditionally upon the assent of them and the other men of Flanders,
and he will cause such prorogation to be proclaimed and observed throughout his realm when he shall ascertain that they have caused it to be
proclaimed. [Fœdera.] |
