September 1303



Sept. 20. Kinloss.	To Philip, king of France. The men of the town of Ipswich have signified to the king by letters under their common seal that whereas Roger Barun of Flicham of Lynn, merchant of the realm of England, lately, after the proclamation of the peace between the king and the king of France, engaged (frettasset) a ship of Golding Mayden of Ipswich to be loaded at Ipswich with his wool to the value of 200l. to be taken from that town to Brabant, in order to trade there with the wool and to make his profit upon it as he should see fit, certain malefactors of the town of Caleys of the power of the king of France entered the ship during her passage to Brabant on the sea by force and arms, and carried her and the wool off to Caleys, and they still detain them at Caleys, and slew certain men in the ship and imprisoned others, contrary to the form of the peace aforesaid: the king desires the king of France to cause full and proper restitution of the ship and wool or suitable compensation therefor to be made without delay, and to cause delivery of the imprisoned men to be made, so that the said merchant and others of the king's realm and power may enjoy the said peace, as they wish.
