The king, sympathetically aware how in past times until recently the merchants and people of the nation of Germany, being under and of the confederation, league and company called the Dutch Hanse, otherwise called the merchants of Germany, who have the house in London commonly called the Guildhall of the Germans, have had and used free and friendly dealings and exchange of merchandise with his subjects of this his noble realm of England, and they with them, to the profit, benefit and common weal of both sides, as clearly proved by experience: and how since one side took offence against the other, great troubles, losses and damages have ensued, not only through open war made and exercised by both sides against the other, but also by the withdrawal of the accustomed advantages and commodities which otherwise should have come to him, his said subjects and also to them by the free exchange of merchandise they would have enjoyed here in his said realm, and his said subjects would have had in their regions and countries, as is well known;

Moreover, where as the merchauntes of the said Hanze, have had and enjoyed dyvers privileges, liberties and free usages, within this reame of Englond, by reason of certeyn grauntes to theym made by his noble progenitours kynges of Englond, as by the lettres patentes theruppon passed fro tyme to tyme it may clerely appere of record; by cause and uppon trust oonly of the which privileges, libertees and free usages, the same marchauntes have be encoraged to make and contynue their resort unto this < his > lande: and forasmoche as nowe the same marchauntes and persones of the Hanze have approbable doute and fere, that in cas all other things were thoroughly passed and concluded betwixt his highnes and theym, so that they myght and wold resorte with their goodes and merchaundises unto this his reame ayen, they myght be yet < interru > pted and empeched uppon their seid privileges, libertees and free usages, by pretence that the chartours of his moost noble progenitours and his, to theym or their predecessours afore this tyme made and graunted in that partie, were forfaited and lost, by occasion of werre and hostilite levyed and made by theym ayenst hym, his liege people and subgetts, or for somme other cause that myght happen to be founde, purposed and alleged ayenst theym. In consideration hereof, and for the wele publique that may ensue to the kyng and his said land by the reconsiliation of the merchauntes of the said Hanze, and by that that the kynges subgetts shall mowe as ofte as theym shall like, repare and resorte unto the londe of Pruce, and other places of the Hanze, freely and suerly entre the same, the < re > abide, and departe fro thens at their pleasure, to bye and selle with all maner persones, as frely and largely as any tyme heretofore they have be wonte to doo, with enjoying all and everyche their liberties and free custumes which they have used and enjoyed resonably eny tyme passed; and that no prises, exactions nor prestations shalbe sette uppon their persones or goodes, otherwise then have be sette uppon theym any tyme afore this .c. yere nowe last past or above: wherunto the seid merchauntes of the Hanze by their oratours have assented and agreed. The kyng, of his bounteuous and benigne grace, by the advis and assent of the lordes spirituelles and temporelles, and the commens, in this present parlement assembled, and by auctorite of the same, wolle that it be also ordeyned, establisshed and enacted that all maner privileges, libertees, fraunchises and free usages, graunted unto the merchauntes of the seid Hanze by hym or any of his noble progenitours kynges of Englond, and all maner chartours and lettres patentes passed þeruppon, by whatsoever name or names the seid marchauntes be named or called in the same, stond in full strengh, force and effect, as they didde or shuld have doon yf noo such werre and hostilite had be levyed and made as is aforesaid. And moreover, for the more suerte and certeynte of the same, the kyng, by thadvis, assent and auctorite aforesaid, wolle that his lettres patentes under his grete seall be to the seid marchauntes made, after the fourme and effect ensuyng; and that the same lettres patentes so to theym made, be by the seid auctorite good and available to theym and their successours, after the tenour and fourme of the same. in consideration of which, and so that, by God's grace, the war and hostility there has been between both sides may completely cease and be brought to an end, [and] also so that the old alliance may be renewed between them in such a way that it might continue and endure forever, by the advice and assent of the lords spiritual and temporal and the commons assembled in this present parliament, and by authority of the same, wills of his gracious and bounteous disposition that it be ordained, decreed and enacted that none of the said present or future merchants of the said Hanse, or any of their successors shall be grieved, charged, accused or obstructed in future in their persons, ships, goods, merchandise or any other thing, by reason or occasion of any sentence, judgment, marque or reprisal given, decreed or granted by his highness and his council at any time before 19 September in the thirteenth year of his reign [1473] against the said merchants of Germany, or the [col. b] persons of the said Hanse, by whatever name or names they have been called or named in the said sentence or judgment; so that from the said nineteenth day there shall be a permanent halt in and of any further execution of any such sentence or judgment passed against the same merchants or persons. And that all manner of promises, obligations, guarantees, fixing of pledges, and all other bonds made by any of the said merchants or persons of the said Hanse within this his realm by reason or occasion of any such sentence, judgment, letters of marque or reprisal given, decreed or granted as is aforesaid, or for their execution, shall be void and of no effect; so that the said merchants or persons, or any of them, or any person on their behalf shall not be charged, bound or constrained from the said nineteenth day to answer upon or to them or any of them in any court spiritual or temporal, but that they and each of them shall be completely discharged and freed of the foregoing as though such bonds or promises had never been made or passed by or from them in this matter at any time before the said nineteenth day. And that all manner of pleas, questions, disputes and actions by means of marque, reprisal or otherwise moved or to be moved before any judge or judges within this realm of England or elsewhere between any of his subjects on the one side and the said merchants or persons of the Hanse on the other side concerning the taking of any person's ships or merchandise, or any other goods on the open sea, in havens or any other places during the time of this last trouble and hostility that occurred between both parties, that is to say from 21 November in the eighth year of his reign [1468] until the said nineteenth day, shall cease and be set aside; so that it shall not be lawful or permissable for any of his subjects or any other person of whatever nation to make or commence any process within this his realm of England, or other places under his obedience, by way of reprisal or otherwise against the merchants or persons of the cities or commonalties of the aforesaid Hanse by pretence or reason that they have taken any ships or goods from him during that time; but that it shall be lawful for both parties, his subjects as well as those persons of the said Hanse, to bring ships and goods thus taken before the said nineteenth day into this his realm of England and other places under his obedience as well as elsewhere, and take them out freely and safely, and at their pleasure distribute, sell and alienate them without their first or former proprietors and owners being able to challenge or recover the said ships, goods or any part of them; and that those persons who were the employees, servants and followers of one side or the other during the time of the said trouble [p. vi-66][col. a] shall not be sued, arrested, troubled or harassed by any person from either side in any place or region because of the foregoing, neither in their persons nor goods, even though all the same goods had been taken by reason of the said trouble and dispute. Moreover, where the merchants of the said Hanse have had and enjoyed various privileges, liberties and free usages within this realm of England by reason of certain grants made to them by his noble progenitors kings of England, as clearly appears on record by the letters patent given thereupon from time to time; only because and upon trust of which privileges, liberties and free usages the same merchants have been encouraged to continue visiting this his land: and seeing that the same merchants and persons of the Hanse now have some doubt and fear that when everything else has been thoroughly resolved and concluded between his highness and them, so that they might and would come again with their goods and merchandise into this his realm, they might yet be interrupted and prevented from using their said privileges, liberties and free usages under pretence that his most noble progenitors' charters and his previously made and granted to them or their predecessors in that matter had been forfeited and lost through the war and hostility raised and made by them against him, his liege people and subjects, or for some other cause that might be found, proposed and alleged against them. In consideration of this, and for the public weal that will ensue to the king and his said land by the reconciliation of the merchants of the said Hanse, which will enable the king's subjects, as often as it shall please them, to travel to and visit the land of Prussia and other places of the Hanse, [and] freely and safely enter the same, stay there and depart at their pleasure, to buy and sell with all kinds of people, as freely and fully as they have been accustomed to do at any time previously, with the enjoyment of all and each of their liberties and free customs which they have reasonably used and enjoyed at any time in the past; and that no prises, exactions or prests shall be imposed on their persons or goods other than have been imposed on them at any time before this last hundred years or more: to which the said merchants of the Hanse have assented and agreed by their spokesmen. The king, of his bounteous and benign grace, by the advice and assent of the lords spiritual and temporal and the commons assembled in this present parliament, and by authority of the same, wills that it shall also be ordained, decreed and enacted that all the privileges, liberties, franchises and free usages granted to the merchants of the said Hanse by him or any of his noble progenitors kings of England, and all the charters and letters patent issued thereupon, by whatever name or names the said merchants are named or called in them, shall remain in full strength, force and effect as they did or should have done if no such war and hostility had been raised and made, as is aforesaid. And moreover, for the greater security and certainty of the same the king, by the aforesaid advice, assent and authority, wills that his letters patent shall be made under his great seal to the said merchants in the following form and effect; and that the same letters patent thus made to them shall be by the said authority good and valid to them and their successors after their tenor and form.
3. Edwardus, Dei gratia, rex Anglie et Francie, et dominus Hibernie omnibus ad quos presentes littere pervenerint, salutem.

Edward, by the grace of God king of England and France, and lord of Ireland, to all to whom the present letters shall come, greeting. We have inspected the letters [col. b] patent of the lord Richard the second since the conquest late king of England, made to the merchants of Germany, in these words:
Ricardus, Dei gratia, rex Anglie et Francie, et dominus Hibernie omnibus ad quos presentes littere pervenerint, salutem.

We have inspected the charter of the lord Edward, son of King Henry, once king of England, of famous memory, our progenitor, in these words:
Edwardus, Dei gratia, rex Anglie, dominus Hibernie, et dux Aquitannie archiepiscopis, episcopis, abbatibus, prioribus, comitibus, baronibus, justiciariis, vicecomitibus, prepositis, ministris, et omnibus ballivis et fidelibus suis, salutem. Circa bonum statum omnium mercatorum subscriptorum regnorum, terrarum et provinciarum, videlicet, Alemannie, Francie, Ispanie, Portugalie, Navarre, Lumbardie, Tuscie, Provincie, Cathalonie, ducatus nostri Acquitannie, Tholosanie, Caturtmii, [...] Flandres, Brabance, et omnium aliorum terrarum et locorum extraneorum, quocumque nomine censeantur, venientium in regnum nostrum Anglie, et ibidem conversantium, nos precipua cura solicitat qualiter sub nostro dominio tranquillitatis et plene securitatis immunitas eisdem mercatoribus futuris temporibus preparetur; ut itaque vota ipsorum reddantur ad nostra et regni nostri servicia prompciora, ipsorum peticionibus favorabiliter annuentes, et pro statu eorumdem plenius assecurando in forma que sequitur ordinantes, subscripta dictis mercatoribus pro nobis et heredibus nostris imperpetuum duximus concedenda. Edward, by the grace of God king of England, lord of Ireland, and duke of Aquitaine to the archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors, earls, barons, justices, sheriffs, reeves, officials and all his bailiffs and faithful men, greeting. Concerning the good estate of all the merchants of the realms, lands and provinces listed below, namely, of Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Navarre, Lombardy, Tuscany, Provence, Catalonia, our duchy of Aquitaine, Toulouse, Caturtmii , Flanders, Brabant and all other lands and places overseas, by whatever name they are known, who come to our realm of England and dwell there, a particular concern troubles us, how the privilege of tranquillity and full security may be provided for the same merchants within our dominion in future, so that thereby their promises may be put more promptly at our service and that of our kingdom, inclining favourably to their requests, and ordaining for the greater security of their estate in the form which follows, we have caused the below-written to be granted to the said merchants for us and our heirs forever.
In primis, videlicet, quod omnes mercatores dictorum regnorum et terrarum, salvo et secure sub tuicione et protectione nostra, in dictum regnum nostrum Anglie, et ubique infra potestatem nostram alibi, veniant [memb. 23] cum mercandisis suis quibuscumque, de muragio, pontagio et pavagio liberi et quieti: quodque infra idem regnum et potestatem nostram, < in civitatibus > , burgis et villis mercatoriis possint mercari dumtaxat in grosso, tam cum indigenis seu incolis ejusdem regni et potestatis nostre predicte, quam cum alienigenis, extraneis vel privatis: ita tamen quod merces que vulgariter mercerie vocantur, ac species [...] vendi possint prout antea fieri consuevit. Et quod omnes predicti mercatores mercandisas suas, quas ipsos ad predictum regnum et potestatem nostram adducere, seu infra idem regnum et potestatem nostram emere, vel alias adquirere contigerit, possint quo voluerint, tam infra regnum et potestatem nostram predicta, quam extra, ducere seu portari facere, preterquam ad terras manifestorum et notoriorum hostium regni nostri, solvendo consuetudines quas debebunt, vinis dumtaxat exceptis, que de eodem regno seu potestate nostra, postquam infra idem regnum seu potestatem nostram ducta fuerint, sine voluntate nostra et licentia speciali, non liceat eis educere quoquo modo. First, that is, that all the merchants of the said realms and lands shall come safely and securely under our defence and protection into our said realm of England, and everywhere else within our dominion, [memb. 23] with all their merchandise free and quit of murage, pontage and pavage: and that within our same realm and dominion, in the cities, boroughs and market towns they shall only trade wholesale with the denizens or inhabitants of the same realm and of our aforesaid dominion, and also with aliens, foreigners or allies: provided that merchandise, commonly called mercery, and spices may be sold as was previously the case. And that all the aforesaid merchants shall be able when they wish to transport or have carried their merchandise which they happen to import into our aforesaid realm and dominion, or buy or otherwise acquire within our same realm and dominion, both within and outside our aforesaid realm and dominion, except to the lands of manifest and notorious enemies of our realm, paying the customs which they ought, except only for wine, which it shall not be lawful in any way for them to export from our same realm or dominion after they have imported it into our same realm or dominion except by our permission and special licence.
Item, quod predicti mercatores, in civitatibus, burgis et villis predictis, pro voluntate sua hospitare valeant et morari cum bonis suis, ad gratum ipsorum quorum fuerint hospitia sive domus. Item, that the aforesaid merchants shall be able to find accommodation and remain with their goods at their will in the aforesaid cities, boroughs and towns with the consent of those from whom they will have lodgings or accommodation.
Item, quod quilibet contractus per ipsos mercatores cum quibuscumque personis, undecumque fuerint, super quocumque genere mercandise initus, firmus sit et stabilis: ita quod neuter mercatorum ab illo contractu possit discedere vel resilire, postquam denarius Dei inter [...] principales personas contrahentes datus fuerit et receptus. Et si forsan super contractu hujusmodi contentio oriatur, fiat inde probatio aut inquisitio, secundum usus et consuetudines feriarum et villarum ubi dictum contractum fieri contigerit et iniri. Item, that any contract entered into by the same merchants with any other persons from any place concerning any sort of merchandise shall be firm and stable: so that neither of the merchants can abandon or go back on the contract after God's penny has been given and received between the principal contracting parties. And if it happens that a dispute arises on such a contract, let an examination or inquest be made thereupon according to the usages and customs of the fairs and towns where the said contract has been made and entered into.
Item, promittimus prefatis mercatoribus pro nobis et heredibus nostris imperpetuum concedentes, quod nullam prisam vel arestationem seu dilationem occasione prise de cetero de mercimoniis, mercandisis, seu aliis [p. vi-67][col. a] bonis suis, per nos vel alium seu alios pro aliqua necessitate vel casu, contra voluntatem ipsorum mercatorum, aliquatenus faciemus aut fieri patiemur, nisi statim soluto pretio, pro quo ipsi mercatores aliis hujusmodi mercimonia vendere possint, vel eis alias satisfacto, ita quod reputent se contentos: et quod super mercimonia, mercandisas seu bona ipsorum per nos vel [...] ministros nostros nulla appreciatio aut estimatio imponetur. Item, we promise to the aforesaid merchants for us and our heirs granting forever that henceforth we shall not make or permit to be made any prise, or arrest or delay by reason of a prise, on any of their wares, merchandise or other [p. vi-67][col. a] goods, by us or another or others for any necessity or reason against the will of the same merchants, unless on immediate payment of the price which the merchants could have got by selling such wares themselves, or otherwise give satisfaction for them, so that they consider themselves content: and that no appraisal or valuation shall be imposed on their wares, merchandise or goods by us or our agents.
Item, volumus quod omnes ballivi et ministri feriarum, civitatum, burgorum et villarum mercatoriarum, mercatoribus antedictis conquerentibus coram eis celerem justiciam faciant, de die in diem, sine dilatione, secundum legem mercatoriam, de universis et singulis que per eandem legem poterint terminari: et si forte inveniatur defectus in aliquo ballivorum vel ministrorum predictorum, unde iidem mercatores, vel eorum aliquis, dilationis incomoda sustinuerint vel sustinuerit, licet mercator versus partem in principali recuperaverit dampna sua, nichilominus ballivus vel minister alius versus nos prout delictum exigit puniatur; et punitionem istam concedimus, in favorem mercatorum predictorum pro eorum justicia maturanda. Item, we will that all the bailiffs and officials of fairs, cities, boroughs and market towns shall give speedy justice from day to day, without delay, to the aforesaid merchants who complain before them according to merchant law in all matters that can be determined by the same law: and if it happens that fault can be found with any of the aforesaid bailiffs or officials, whereby the same merchants shall suffer or any of them shall suffer the disadvantage of delay, it shall be lawful for the merchant to recover his damages against the party in chief, nonetheless the bailiff or other official shall be punished against us as the offence demands; and we grant that punishment in favour of the aforesaid merchants to speed their justice.
Item, quod in omnibus generibus placitorum, salvo casu criminis pro quo infligenda sit pena mortis, ubi mercato < r > implacitatus fuerit, vel alium implacitaverit, cujuscumque conditionis idem implacitatus extiterit, extraneus vel privatus, < in > nundinis, civitatibus sive burgis, ubi fuerit sufficiens copia mercatorum predictarum terrarum, et inquisitio fieri debeat, sit medietas inquisitionis de eisdem mercatoribus, et medietas altera de aliis probis et legalibus hominibus loci illius ubi placitum illud esse contigerit; et si de mercatoribus dictarum terrarum numerus non inveniatur sufficiens, ponantur in inquisitione illi qui idonei inveniantur ibidem, et residui sint de aliis bonis hominibus et idoneis de locis in quibus placitum illud erit. Item, that in all kinds of pleas, except of a crime for which the punishment is death, when a merchant has been impleaded, or has impleaded another person, of whatever condition, alien or denizen, the person impleaded shall be, in markets, cities or boroughs where there are enough merchants with the aforesaid amount of land, and an inquest needs to be held, half the inquest shall consist of the same merchants and the other half of other reputable and law-worthy men of the place where the plea shall happen to be; and if the number of merchants with the said land is not found to be enough, those who shall be found suitable shall be put on that inquest there, and the rest shall consist of other good and suitable men of the places where the plea shall be.
Item, volumus, ordinamus et statuimus, quod in qualibet villa mercatoria et feria regni nostri predicti, et alibi infra potestatem nostram, pondus nostrum in certo loco ponatur, et ante ponderationem statera in presentia emptoris et venditoris vacua videatur, et quod brachia sint equalia, et extunc ponderator ponderet in equali, et cum stateram posuerit in equali, statim amoveat manus suas, ita quod remaneat in equali: quodque per totum regnum et potestatem nostram unum sit pondus, et una mensura, et signo standardi nostri signentur. Et quod quilibet possit habere stateram unius quarteroni et infra, ubi contra dominum loci aut libertatem per nos seu < ante > cessores nostros concessam illud non fuerit, sive contra villarum aut feriarum consuetudinem hactenus observatam. Item, we will, ordain and decree that our weigh beam be put in a certain place in every market town and fair of our aforesaid realm of England, and elsewhere within our dominion, and before weighing in the presence of the buyer and seller the scales shall be seen to be empty and the arms of the scales level, and then the weigher shall weigh evenly and with the scales placed level he shall immediately remove his hands so that it remains level; and that throughout our realm and dominion there shall be one weight and one measure, and they shall be marked with the mark of our standard. And that everyone shall be allowed a scale of a fourth part and below when that is not contrary to the lord of the place or a liberty granted by us or our progenitors, or contrary to the custom of the towns or fairs observed until now.
Item, volumus et concedimus quod aliquis certus homo fidelis et discretus, London' residens, assignetur justiciarius mercatoribus memoratis, coram quo valeant specialiter placitare, et debita sua recuperare celeriter, si vicecomites et majores eis non facerent de die in diem celeris justicie complementum, et inde fiat commissio extra cartam presentem concessa mercatoribus antedictis, scilicet, de hiis que sunt inter mercatores et mercatores, secundum legem mercatoriam deducenda. Item, we will and grant that a certain faithful and prudent man residing in London shall be assigned as justice to the aforementioned merchants, before whom they particularly shall be able to plead and quickly recover their debts if the sheriffs and mayors do not give them speedy execution of justice from day to day, and then let a commission be granted to the aforesaid merchants in addition to the present charter, that is, for settling matters which arise between merchants and merchants, according to merchant law .
Item, ordinamus et statuimus, et ordinationem illam statutumque pro nobis et heredibus nostris imperpetuum volumus firmiter observari, quod pro quacumque libertate quam nos vel heredes nostri de cetero concedemus, prefati mercatores suprascriptas libertates vel earum aliquam non amittant.

Item, we ordain and decree, and we firmly will for us and our heirs that this ordinance and statute be observed forever, so that the aforesaid merchants do not lose the above-written liberties or any of them by reason of any liberty which we or our heirs shall grant in future. However, in return for the abovesaid liberties and free customs, and the remitting of our prises to them, all and each of the oft-mentioned merchants, for themselves and all other persons from their regions, shall without dissent and unanimously grant to us that for every tun of wine which they shall bring or have brought into our realm or dominion, and for which they are bound to pay carriage to the mariners, they shall pay to us and our heirs [col. b] 2s. by way of custom, in addition to the traditional customs usually paid in cash to us or others, within forty days of the said wine being unloaded from the ships onto land.

Cumque de prefatis mercatoribus nonnulli eorum alias excerceant mercandisas, ut de averio ponderis, et de aliis rebus subtilibus, sicut de pannis tarsensis, de cerico, de cindatis, de ceta, et aliis diversis mercibus, et de equis etiam, et aliis animalibus, blado, et aliis rebus et mercandisis multimodis, que ad certam custumam facile poni non poterint, iidem mercatores concesserunt dare nobis et heredibus nostris, de qualibet libra argenti estimationis seu valoris rerum et mercandisarum hujusmodi, quocumque nomine censeantur, tres denarios de libra, in introitu rerum et mercandisarum ipsarum in regnum et potestatem nostram predicta, infra viginti dies postquam hujusmodi res et mercandise in regnum et potestatem nostram adducte, et etiam ibidem exonerate seu vendite fuerint. Et similiter, tres denarios de qualibet libra argenti, in eductione quarumcumque rerum et mercandisarum hujusmodi emptarum in regno et potestate nostra predictis, ultra custumas antiquas nobis aut aliis ante datas. Et super valore et estimatione rerum et mercandisarum hujusmodi, de quibus tres denarii de qualibet libra argenti sicut predicitur sunt solvendi, credatur eis per litteras quas de dominis aut sociis suis ostendere poterunt; et si litteras non habeant, stetur in hac parte ipsorum mercatorum si presentes fuerint, vel valettorum suorum in < eorum > dem mercatorum absentia, juramentis. Liceat insuper sociis de societate mercatorum predictorum, infra regnum et potestatem nostram predicta, lanas vendere aliis sociis suis, et similiter emere ab eisdem, absque custuma solvenda: ita tamen quod dicte lane ad tales manus non deveniant, quod de custuma nobis debita defraudemur.

And since several of the aforesaid merchants trade in other merchandise, in goods sold by weight and other rare things such as rich oriental cloth, silk, cendal, whales and various other wares, and also horses and other animals, corn, and all sorts of other merchandise which cannot easily be assigned to a particular custom, the same merchants have agreed to give to us and our heirs for every pound of silver of the estimation or value of such goods and merchandise, 3d. in the pound for importing the same goods and merchandise into our aforesaid realm and dominion within twenty days of such goods and merchandise being brought into our realm and dominion, and also unloaded or sold there. And similarly, 3d. in every pound of silver for the export of such goods and merchandise bought in our aforesaid realm and dominion, in addition to the old customs previously due to us or others. And concerning the value and estimation of such goods and merchandise on which 3d. in every pound of silver is to be paid, as is said above, credence shall be given to letters which they can show from their lords or associates; and if they do not have letters, the oaths of the same merchants or of their servants in the absence of the same merchants will be acceptable in lieu. It shall be lawful moreover for the associates of the fellowship of the aforesaid merchants to sell wool to their other associates within our aforesaid realm and dominion, and similarly to buy from the same without paying custom: provided that the said wool shall not pass into such hands as would defraud us of the custom due to us. And moreover be it known that after the oft-mentioned merchants have once paid the custom granted to us above for their merchandise in the abovesaid form in one place within our realm and dominion, and have had their warrant thereupon, they will be free and quit by the same warrant from paying any custom for the same merchandise or wares in all other places within our aforesaid realm and dominion, whether such merchandise shall remain within our realm and dominion or be taken overseas: except for wine which shall not be exported from our aforesaid realm and dominion except by our permission and licence, as is said above.

We have inspected the charter which the lord Edward late king of England, our father, made to the merchants of the realm of Germany, namely to those who have the house in the city of London commonly called the Guildhall of the Germans, in these words:

And afterwards we, because the said letters of our same father made no mention of his heirs whereby we were not bound to observe the foregoing to the said merchants, granted of our special grace to the same merchants, for us and our heirs, that all and each of the same merchants and their successors dwelling in the aforesaid house in the aforesaid city, should retain and keep all the same liberties and customs which the same merchants used and enjoyed in the times of us, our aforesaid father and our other progenitors; and that we should not deal with the same merchants other than by such liberties and free customs, nor allow them to be dealt with in any other way as far as we were able: as is more fully contained in our letters patent made thereupon to the same merchants.

Item, on the said 6 October in the said thirteenth year [1473] another petition was presented to the same lord king in the present parliament by the commons of the realm of England being in the same parliament on behalf of William Shetford, in these words:
To the right wise and discrete commens in this present parlement assembled piteously compleynyng sheweth unto your wisdomes, William Shetford, cosyn and heire to Johan, oon of the sisters and heires of William Bruyen knyght: for asmoch as where Edward Shetford, ayell to the seid William Shetford, whos heire the same William is, that is to sey, sone of Piers, sone of the same Edward, was seased in his demeane as of fee, of the halfendele of the manoirs of Trecorn, Hamet, Dove < nant > , Deliowe, Deliowbell, Delioweboleyn, Deliowecarboleyn, and Lamelyn, with their appurtenauncez in the shire of Cornewaill, and of the same halfendele died seased; after whos deth, the seid halfendele discended to the seid Piers, as son and heire to the seid Edward, which Piers into the same halfendele entred, and therof was of such astate seased, unto the tyme that he of the same halfendele was disseased and put oute by Thomas Bodulgate, cosyn and heire to Alice, the oder of the susters and heirs to the seid William Bruyen knyght; which Thomas Bodulgate, because he had < title > to the oon half of the forseid manoirs, and was of grete myght in the forseid shire of Cornewaill, and understode well that the forseid Piers his coopersoner was pore, and had no myght nor frenship in the seid shire, entred and occupied the forseid hoole manoirs, and in substaunce ayenst all lawe and reason toke the profittes of theym; and, as it is seid in the said shire of Cornewaill, made a feoffement of the seid hole manoirs to certeyn persones, which of the same manoirs made astate ayen to the seid Thomas Bodulgate, and to Elizabeth then his wyf, nowe wyf [...] to John Welles, to have to the seid Thomas and Elizabeth, and the heires of the seid Thomas: and after the seid William Shetford, as son and heire to the seid Piers, entred into the forseid halfendele, and after the seid Thomas Bodulgate died at the feld of Barnet, and sithen the seid Elizabeth toke to husbond the seid John Welles, the which wrongfully claymyng the seid hole manoirs to be the joyntour of the said Elizabeth, have entred into the seid halfendele of the seid manoirs; and therof they and Isabell Rescarek vidowe, and Johan Coryngton vidowe, wrongfully have disseased the forseid William Shetford, and by myght and force kepen hym oute therof, and been so myghty, and so alyed and frended in the seid shire, and all the officers of the same so favourably enclyned to hem and their affinite, that the seid William Shetford eny recovere by eny action to be sued in that partie may not attaign; and though he wold entre into the seid maners, as he afore this tyme dyvers tymes hath doo, yet anon theruppon reentre is made ayen uppon hym, and soo doughtfull manasses made to hym to be slayn, so that he may take no maner profite of the same halfendele, nor dare not abide and contynue within the seid shire, wherthrough he is utterly enpoverisshed, and so but yf he may be holpen be youre blest mediation he is utterly undoon for ever, and withoute eny remedie by cours of the commen lawe. To the most wise and prudent commons assembled in this present parliament, William Shetford, cousin and heir of Joan, one of the sisters and heirs of William Bruyen, knight, complaining pitifully shows to your wisdoms, that where Edward Shetford, grandfather of the said William Shetford, whose heir the same William is, that is to say, son of Piers, son of the same Edward, was seised in his demesne as of fee of a moiety of the manors of Trecorme, Hammett and Dannett [in Quethiok], and Deli, Delabole, Delioweboleyn, Deliowecarboleyn [in St Teath] and Lamellion [in Liskeard] with their appurtenances in the county of Cornwall, and died seised of the same moiety; after whose death the said moiety descended to the said Piers as son and heir of the said Edward, which Piers entered the same moiety, and was thereby seised of the estate until he was disseised and ejected from the same moiety by Thomas Bodulgate, cousin and heir of Alice, the other sister and heir of the said William Bruyen, knight; which Thomas Bodulgate, because he had title to one half of the aforesaid manors, and had great power in the aforesaid county of Cornwall, and well knew that the aforesaid Piers, who had the other half, was poor and had no power or support in the said county, entered and occupied the aforesaid whole manors, and contrary to all law and reason took the profits of them; and, as it is said in the said county of Cornwall, made a feoffment of the said whole manors to certain persons, who in turn made estate of the same manors to the said Thomas Bodulgate and to Elizabeth then his wife, now the wife of John Wells, to have to the said Thomas and Elizabeth and the heirs of the said Thomas: and afterwards the said William Shetford, as son and heir of the said Piers, entered the aforesaid moiety, and afterwards the said Thomas Bodulgate died at the battle of Barnet, and since then the said Elizabeth has married the said John Wells and they, wrongfully claiming the said whole manors to be the jointure of the said Elizabeth, have entered the said moiety of the said manors; and they and Isabel Rescarek, widow, and Joan Corington, widow, have wrongfully disseised the aforesaid William Shetford of them, and keep him out of them by might and force, and they are so powerful, and have so many allies and supporters in the said county, and all the officers of the same are so favourably inclined to them and their associates that the said William Shetford cannot achieve a recovery by suing any action in that matter; and even if he enters the said manors as he has previously done several times, yet immediately a re-entry is made against him, and such fearsome threats are made that he will be killed that he can take no profit from the same moiety and dares not live and remain in the said county, whereby he is utterly impoverished, and unless he can be helped by your blessed mediation he is completely ruined forever and without any remedy by the common law.
Please it therfore youre grete wisdomes, the premisses be you blestly considered, to pray the kyng oure soverayn lord, that he, by thadvis and assent of the lordes spirituell and temporell in this present parlement assembled, and by the auctorite of the same, it be ordeyned and establisshed, that the chaunceler of Englond for the tyme beyng, callyng to hym the justices of either benche, or oon of theym, have auctorite and power by writte or writtes of sub pena, to calle afore [col. b] hem, at certeyn resonable day by their discretions tobe lymyt, and agreed by the seid William Shetford, and by hym tobe sued, the forseid John Welles and Elizabeth his wyf, Isabell Rescarek vidowe, and Johan Coryngton vidowe, and to examyn the title and right of theym both, towchyng the forseid halfendell of the forseid manoirs with the appurtenauncez, and all the wronges doon by theym to the seid William, concernyng the same halfendele; and yf it be found by their wisdomes that eyther of the seid parties have doo wrong to other, that then the wrong doer in that partie, be punysshed by the discretion of the seid chaunceler and justices or justice, after their demerite in that behalf; and that the seid chaunceller and justice or justices, if the title of the forseid William Shetford be founden good and lawfull by their examination in the forseid halfendele, and that the forseid John Welles and Elizabeth, Isabell and Johan, of the same halfendele have wrongfully disseased the forseid William Shetford, then the seid chaunceller, justices or justice, have auctorite and power by this acte, to deme and award to the seid William his resonable damages which he hath susteyned by reason of the seid dissesyn, and to award oute of the seid chauncery such and als many writtes of delyvere of season uppon the seid mater, to the shirref of the seid shire of Cornewaill to be direct, as to the same William shall be requisite and necessary.

For which reason our aforesaid lord king caused his said present parliament to be prorogued until the following 20 January, and he did indeed thus prorogue it; firmly commanding everyone concerned to assemble in person at Westminster on the said 20 January in the usual places, without any excuse, to consider, discuss and reach agreement on what might be ordained there for the fuller and wiser discussion and conclusion of the aforesaid business, God willing.

Quamobrem idem cancellarius, ex parte dicti domini regis gracias eisdem communibus reddidit, rogans eos de continuatione in eodem; et quod, pro eo quod in articulo guerre exterius eidem domino regi de dispositione fratris sui Burgundie in certo non constabat, ea siquidem occasione idem dominus rex ambassiatores suos penes dictum fratrem suum nuper destinaverat, qui [...] statim, et saltem ante festum Pasche tunc proximum [p. vi-99][col. a] futurum, de verisimili redire nequibant.

Hiis et aliis idem dominus rex ductus considerationibus, dictum parliamentum suum censuit prorogandum, [col. b] et illud realiter et de facto usque nonum diem Maii tunc proximum futurum prorogavit; omnibus et singulis quorum interfuit firmiter injungendo, quod apud Westm', dicto nono die Maii, excusatione quacumque cessante, locis consuetis personaliter convenirent, ad tractandum, communicandum et consentiendum super hiis, que pro pleniori et saniori discussione et conclusione negotiorum dicti parliamenti, favente Domino, contingerent ordinari. Declaravit ulterius idem cancellarius, ex parte dicti domini regis, prefatis dominis et communibus, quod si quis ipsorum, ad diem prenotatum personaliter venire, et dicto parliamento intendere negligeret, idem dominus rex pro sui punitione per viam acti parliamenti ordinare vellet, quod punitio hujusmodi aliis timorem incuteret decetero taliter delinquendi. 18. Be it also remembered that on 1 February in the said thirteenth year [1474], with the lord king sitting on the royal throne, and the lords spiritual and temporal and also the commons of the realm of England appearing in full parliament before the same lord king; the venerable father the bishop of Durham, chancellor of England, announced to the aforesaid commons at the order of the same lord king that he was confident the reasons for the summoning of the said parliament had not slipped their mind; which were, as the same chancellor repeated, among other things, to establish good rule within the realm, and steady the same realm by the provision of justice, and to put persons living in excessive idleness to work by means of war overseas, and also to recover the royal right in the realm of France: to achieve all of which the same commons had cheerfully occupied themselves from the the beginning of the said parliament until now. For which the same chancellor, on behalf of the said lord king, gave thanks to the same commons, urging them so to continue; and, because on the issue of overseas war the views of his brother Burgundy were unclear to the same lord king, the same lord king had recently sent his ambassadors to his said brother, who were unlikely to be able to return immediately, at least not before the following feast of Easter [p. vi-99][col. a] at the earliest. Accordingly, having considered the foregoing, and the grave sickness of plague holding sway inside and outside the royal household, and the great expenses which the aforesaid lords and commons attending the said parliament had sustained and would sustain when it continued after the said feast of Easter, and also the unrest throughout the realm in the past year because of the delay in the administration of justice, because the justices of the said lord king had been kept from their usual progress at that time; it was thought by the lords of the king's council that his highness should rather prorogue the said parliament than continue it longer then, especially when so much hung on the arrival of the said ambassadors and the readiness of his said brother Burgundy. Taking into account these and other considerations, the same lord king proposed that his said parliament be prorogued, [col. b] and he did indeed and in fact prorogue it until the following 9 May; firmly commanding each and every person concerned to assemble in person at Westminster on the said 9 May in the usual places, without any excuse, to consider, discuss and reach agreement on what might then be ordained there for the fuller and wiser discussion and conclusion of the said business, God willing. Moreover, the same chancellor announced to the aforesaid lords and commons on behalf of the said lord king, that if any of them failed to appear in person on the stated day to attend the said parliament, the same lord king would so ordain for his punishment by means of an act of parliament, that the punishment would deter others from offending in that way in future.

To the most wise and discreet commons assembled in this present parliament Henry Newton, one of the serjeants-at-mace of Robert Billesdon, one of the sheriffs of the city of London, shows to your great wisdoms and discretions, that where one Thomas Bishop, grocer, was recently held in prison in London at the counter of the said Robert Billesdon situated in Bread Street, London, by virtue of two plaints of debt taken against him before the same sheriff; that is to say, one at the suit of William Lynnesse of the diocese of Lincoln, administrator of the goods and chattels that were formerly of William Locksmith, late of London, grocer, who died intestate, for the sum of £14; and the other plaint for the sum of 26s. 8d. at suit of William Sandes, grocer; whereupon one Thomas Gibbes, one of the petty captains on the expedition recently planned to Burgundy by the king's high command, in a conspiracy with the said Thomas Bishop, to get him wrongfully out of prison, claimed that the said Thomas Bishop was retained with the said Thomas Gibbes to do service on the said expedition in his company in the region aforesaid, and made such representations to the right reverend father in God the bishop of Durham, the chancellor of England, that the king's writ was directed to the mayor and sheriffs of London, William Stokker, knight, and the said Robert, who were then sheriffs of the same, commanding them by the same writ to bring the person of the said Thomas Bishop, and the reasons for taking and holding him in prison before the king in his chancery on Wednesday the 6 April in the fourteenth year of his most noble reign [1474]: on which day, according to the said command, the said Henry, as agent of the said sheriffs, brought the said Thomas Bishop, with the reasons for taking and holding him in prison, before the said chancellor at his place called Durham's Inn, by Charing Cross in the county of Middlesex; whereupon for various reasons influencing [him], the said chancellor there remitted the said Thomas Bishop again, and commanded the said Henry to bring him down again to the said counter. And immediately in the hall of the said chancellor within his said place, the said Henry being in God's and the king's peace, intending to have conveyed the said Thomas Bishop safely into London again to the said counter, the said Thomas Gibbes then came into the said hall, accompanied by other wrongdoers of his affinity numbering twenty persons, unknown to the said Henry, defensibly equipped for war, and then and there with force took and rescued the said Thomas Bishop from the ward and keeping of the said Henry, and the said Thomas Gibbes then and there gave the said Henry two grievous wounds with a sword, by which his life was threatened for a long time, to his damages of 100 marks, whereby the said Henry was at that time unable to secure the recovery of the said prisoner, because of which he stands in great danger of loss and charge in that respect unless your favourable help is shown to him [col. b] in this matter. And in addition to this, the said Thomas Gibbes then and there with great fury and violence caused his said misruled associates to take and lead away with them one William Grey, fuller, and they brought him to the house of the same Thomas Gibbes in the parish of St Martin in the Field, by Charing Cross in the county of Middlesex, and kept him there in prison, and put him in fear of his life until he made a fine with them of 20s. for his release and spent among Gibbes' associates 26s. 8d. against his will, and for fear of his death made an obligation for £10 to the said Thomas Gibbes that he should never subsequently vex, sue or trouble the said Thomas Gibbes or any of his said associates for that reason, to his utter undoing, unless your said help is shown to him in that matter.
Wherfore please it youre discrete wisdomes, the premisses tenderly to considre, and that it may like you to pray the kyng oure liege lord, that he, by thadvis and assent of the lordes spirituelx and temporelx in this present parlement assembled, and by auctorite of the same, to ordeyne, establissh and enacte that neyther the seid shirrefs nor other of theym, nor the seid Henry, be in any wise chargeable or charged, by encheson or cause of eny escape of the same Thomas Bisshop oute of the kepyng of the seid shirrefs, or of the seid Henry, or of eny of theym, or by encheson or cause that the seid shirrefs, or the seid Henry, or any of theym, suffred the seid Thomas B < uyss > hop to goo at his large oute of their or eny of their kepyng; and that aswell the seid shirrefs as the seid Henry, and every of theym, be utterly quyte and discharged of all actions, suytes and quarelles, which may be taken or suyed ayenst the same shirrefs or other of theym, or ayenst the same Henry, for eny escape or goyng at large of the seid Thomas B < uyss > hop oute of the kepyng of the seid shirrefs, or of the seid Henry, or eny of theym.

And considering that the said rescue constitutes disobedience to the king's highness and is also to the reproach of his said chancellor, who is the king's principal justice within this his realm, and if unpunished would greatly enbolden such rioters to offend in a similar way in future; that by the aforesaid authority it be ordained that the aforesaid Thomas Bishop and Thomas Gibbes, and either of them, within six weeks of their next arrival into this realm of England, shall appear in person before the justices of king's bench at the time, and find adequate surety at the discretion of the same justices to appear in the same bench on such day or days as the same justices shall [memb. 1] determine to answer for the aforesaid rescue and the other offences committed to the said Henry and William Grey, and either of them, in and upon all such actions any of them will sue by writ or bill in the same bench, or else stand convicted of the same rescue and every other offence pertaining to the foregoing, and make a large fine in that regard, and be imprisoned as shall be thought appropriate by the king's highness. And if the said Thomas Bishop and Thomas Gibbes, or either of them, [do] not [do] as is aforesaid, but make default, that then such process on this act shall be issued from the said bench against them or him not appearing by a capias and exigent, as is usually used in the same bench on rescues returned by sheriffs and other officers to the same bench.
