To pope C[lement]. Reymund, bishop of Lescar (Lascurren') and Master
William Testa, archdeacon of Arrennes (Aran') in the church of
Comminges (Convenarum), the pope's chaplain, have come to the king
and have presented to him the pope's letters. The king has received
the letters and the envoys with joy, and has learned from them with
satisfaction that the pope is in good health, and thanks the pope for
having so much at heart the affairs of his realm. The king would be
very glad to see the pope and have speech with him before the pope
crosses the mountains, and to be present at his coronation, if it could
be done conveniently, but the shortness of the time does not permit
the king, whom the pope knows to be wearied with many vexations, to
come in person or to send Edward, his son, with a suitable company
of prelates and other magnates, for whom as for the king it would
be necessary to have conduct from the king of France, in accordance
with the ordinance of the magnates and proceres of the king's realm,
and the king does not believe that it is at all expedient to delay
the pope's arrival at the Roman court, but rather that it should be
hastened. The king is greatly grieved that he cannot fulfil, as he
desires, the pope's request and will in this behalf, but the pope will
always find him ready and prepared to prosecute his pleasures and orders.
He therefore beseeches the pope to hold him and his son excused,
and thus to show favour to the king, his realm and subjects, so that the
king may feel that the pope's affection to him, which he has tested by
long experience, may be augmented. As to the promotion of the matter of
the Holy Land, which the king has always in mind, he the more willingly
excites the pope's piety because he believes that the pope intends to come
to its aid. Concerning this and other things that relate to the legation of
the pope's envoys, to whom the king has fully opened his mind, it is
fitting that the pope should give credence to them. The king intends to
send shortly certain prelates and other magnates to the pope with full
power and special mandate to do, approve and receive all those things
that the pope shall see fit to ordain concerning the premises for the king
and his son and that the king and his son should or might do if they were
there in person. [Fœdera; Prynne, Records, iii, p. 1068.] |

To the sheriff of York. As the prelates, proceres and others of the
king's land of Scotland have need to come to the king in England
frequently for the matters concerning them and to return thence, for
which reason the king wills that they shall be honourably and courteously
admitted, as is fitting, wherever they may come within the realm, he
orders the sheriff to cause proclamation to be made in all towns through
which they will pass on their journeys to and fro and in other places that
the sheriff shall deem fit that no one shall say to any men of that land
passing through the sheriff's bailiwick in their inns, on the road, or
elsewhere any insults or contumelious words, or otherwise inflict wrong,
annoyance or damage upon them, or sell to them victuals or other
necessaries dearer than to others of the realm. The sheriff is ordered to
attach any one found thus offending by his body at the plaint and suit
of him who shall feel himself aggrieved, and to keep him in prison until
otherwise ordered by the king. He is enjoined to execute this order with
such diligence that the king may not have to punish him (ad te capere)
and his things. [Fœdera.] |

may escheat to him in Scotland or elsewhere. To these things James
binds himself as firmly as he can by this deed. Dated at Westminster,
