July 12. Fotheringhay	To the sheriff of Northampton.

	A ceo que Monsieur Roger Brabazon parla de tenir les pledz de sa place, il semble au roi que si Sire Gilbert de Roubir[y] e aucun autre ensemblement ovesqe li seient entendantz a tenir les pledz de la dite place pur les essoignes e les ajornementz e pur deliverer les autres choses qe y sont a faire, ceo deit suffir tant come Monsieur Roger serra entendant a la deliverance des busoignes de trailbaston; e le roi veot que son conseil purvee celi qi porra estre entendant ove le dit Gilbert pur fere les dites choses; car il semble au roi que ceo est plus a honur e a commun profit du roiaume e a maintenement de la pees de la terre que celes justices que sont lais e que y porront entendre entendent a la deliverance des busoignes de trailbaston, que de tenir les pledz de la dite place. E les resons pur quoi que ceus qi sont, ou serront, entaglez des choses touchauntz devant les justices de trailbaston ne porront ne ne deivent estre quites ne sauvetz par proteccion, ne ne voet le roi q'il seient, ne que nule proteccion ne leur vaille quant a ceo que touche devant les justices de trailbaston ne au fait de trailbaston. E semble au roi que plus profitable chose est pur le commun profit d'entendre a la busoigne de trailbaston que a autres pledz, pur ceo que ceo est une especiale ordenance faite pur redrescer les riotes e les outrages faitz que feurent come comencement de guerre, e a la desobeissance de la seignurie le roi; par quoi il est mestier que homme entende principaument a redrescer tieux riotes e a establir la pees de la terre, si que en apres homme peusse meutz entendre a tenir les communs pledz de la terre, car en guerre ne en riote ne poet homme mie tenir pledz.
	E d'autre part le roi voet que les bones gentz de son roiaume qi ne sont mie entaglez de chose que touche a fait de trailbaston, aillent ovesque li en sa guerre, e eent proteccion e autres graces, e qi les autres qi sont, ou serront, entaglez de fait de trailbaston estoisent a dreit devant les justices de trailbaston sicome reson demande, si que proteccion ne nul autre purchaz ne lour puisse valer q'il n'estoisent a dreit.
	E voet le roi que tant come il serra en Escoce, Vercevesqe d'Everwyk e l'evesqe de Cestre seient son leu tenantz en Engleterre, e q'il eent commission qe touz seient entendantz a eus e lour mandementz pur la pees de la terre garder e maintenir, ausi avant come il serroient au roi meismes e a ses mandementz, e q'il oevrent par un consil e par un acord.
	E voet le roi qe la chauncelerie e l'escheqer demorgent a Westmoster tanque a son returner en Engleterre, quoi qu'il ent eit autrefetz dit.
