Westminster. |
To R. count of Flanders. The king and his father have frequently
written to him requesting him to do justice to English merchants for
the wrongs inflicted upon them by his subjects, but these prayers have
brought forth small fruit, as the complaints of the merchants still continue,
and their wrongs are increased by the expenses incurred in attempting to
procure justice; and as the king has several times written to him and to
the burgomasters, échevins, and consules of Bruges requesting that justice
might be done to Ranulph de Burgo, Ralph de Burton, Walter de Kelsterne,
Adam Tyrewyt, and other merchants, who deposited 2,200 great gold
florins with the keeper of the exchange of Bruges appointed by the community of the said town, on condition that they should receive the value
thereof in other money or in silver in bulk, but such payment has not been
made them, although the count summoned the said burgomasters, échevins,
and consules to do justice to the said merchants, which they have not done;
since it is well known that the said keeper of the exchange received the said
florins from the said merchants and that they have not been satisfied for
them, the king requests the count to do justice to them before the octaves
of the Purification, for after that date the king will not be able to delay providing them with a competent remedy in default of the count. He is to
write to the king before that term what he has decreed to be done.
