of the exigents against Nicholas de Audeleye knight by mainprise of
John Roche knight, John Joce knight and William Nasche of Herefordshire and of William Podmor of Staffordshire, bringing this writ before

county until he should be outlawed if he should not appear, and if
he should appear to take him and keep him in safe custody so as to
have his body before the said justices in the octaves of St. Martin
next to content the king concerning a trespass by force of arms committed against Roger Berde of Sweyneston in breach of the peace, whereof
he was convicted it is said, and the said Nicholas is put in exigents
accordingly to be outlawed for that he came not to content the king
as aforesaid; and the said John Roche, John Joce, William and
William, appearing in person in chancery, have mainperned under
a pain of 400l. to have his body before the said justices on the day
the said writ is returnable to content as well the king of what pertains
to him as the said Roger of the damages adjudged to him in that
behalf. |

To the bailiffs of Norwich. Order, if the men of Flanders in that
town and the suburb thereof by the said bailiffs taken and imprisoned
shall find sufficient mainpernors, for whom the bailiffs will answer,
to mainpern every one of them for his good behaviour henceforward
towards the king and people, and that they shall not leave the said
town or suburb without the king's licence but there continually abide
well and faithfully plying their crafts and labouring, to set them free
so to do in aid of the king's lieges, but to certify without delay in
chancery the manner and form of such mainprise, the mainpernors'
names, and all their action in the matter; as lately the king ordered
the said bailiffs to arrest all the said men of Flanders and their goods
and chattels, keeping their bodies in good and honourable custody
until further order and safe guarding their goods without taking aught
away as they would answer it to the king and the said Flemings; and
now the king has learned that by colour of that command the said
bailiffs have taken a great number of them and are keeping them in
custody in prison, and that though many times they have offered
mainpernors to mainpern them as aforesaid, the said bailiffs have
deferred and do yet defer to set them free by such mainprise,
wherefore petition is made to the king on their behalf for their
deliverance, as they have committed no fault in the sight of the king
or any of his people. Proviso that the bailiffs shall safe keep
under arrest the goods and chattels by them arrested. |
