Westminster. |
To the mayor and bailiffs of Canterbury. Order to attach Bernard
Pouche of Lumbardia without delay and keep him in prison until further
order, informing the king of what they do, as the king has learned from
the plaint of Saier Lorymer that Bernard and certain accomplices wished
to take 7 sarplars of wool at Faversham out of the realm not coketted or
customed, of which he had laded 3 sarplars in a boat and placed 4 sarplars
on the quay there ready to place on the boat, and Saier arrested the sarplars
and placed them in a house in that town to be kept until further order, and
Bernard and the others broke the house by force and arms and carried off
the wool and the boat. By K. and C. |

and keep them in prison until further order, as Saier afterwards arrested
5½ pockets of wool and wool-fells of Roger, not coketted, in William's boat,
and put them in the same house with the 7 sarplars, and Bernard, Roger
and William broke the house and carried off the said wool and fells. |

Nottingham. |
To the prior of Newenham, one of the collectors of the tenth last granted
by the clergy of the realm in the diocese of Lincoln. Order to supersede
until the quinzaine of Michaelmas next the demand for that tenth made
upon the abbot and convent of Rameseye, so that in the meantime the
council may ordain what is just and reasonable, as the abbot and convent
have besought the king to discharge them of that sum, as although the
abbey was void by the death of Simon, the late abbot, for three months at
the time of the collection of the said tenth, and the temporalities of the
abbey were taken into the king's hand by reason of the voidance and were
committed to the prior and convent for paying 600 marks to the king, yet
the prior exacts the said sum of them, and the question has not yet been
determined by deliberation of the council. |

To the captains, burgomasters, advocates, échevins, consuls and lawful men
of the towns of Ghent, Bruges and Ypres. On being lately informed that
Conrad Braken, scheming to aggrieve Tidemannus Lymbergh, the king's
merchant, forged a letter obligatory for 210l. under Tidemannus's seal, and
delivered that letter to one John Rynfyssh, son of a burgess of Bruges, that
he should extort the 210l. by force from Tidemannus, although he owed
nothing, as the king has learned from trustworthy testimony, the king
requested the said captains and others to supersede molesting Tidemannus
by virtue of the said forged letter, and now the king has learned that
Conrad is arrested at Bruges for this, and has contradicted the king's letters,
whereupon the king asks that they will punish him in an exemplary manner. |
