To the mayor and bailiffs of Wynchelse. Whereas a truce or sufferance
was lately concluded between the king and his subjects, on the one part,
and the men and communities of the towns of Gaunt, Bruges, and Ipre, for
themselves and other men of Flanders, on the other part, concerning the
dissensions between the king's subjects and the men of that land, to endure
from Easter last until Whitsuntide then next following, and from then for
forty days following, and the king, at the request of the said men, has
caused the truce to be prorogued until Easter next, willing that all merchants and others of that land may come into his realm with their goods
and merchandise safely and securely, and may stay and trade therewith,
provided that they exercise lawful merchandise and pay the due customs,
and that they may go out from the realm, and if aught be forfeited to any
of them by any one of this realm, the king will cause the same to be
amended without delay, and that their goods and merchandise shall not be
arrested during the prorogation for the trespasses of others, or for debts
whereof they are not the principal debtors or sureties, or by reason of any
trespass heretofore committed contrary to the charter of the staple, provided
that the king's men enjoy the like privileges in Flanders: the king therefore orders the mayor and bailiffs to cause the prorogation to be proclaimed
in that town, and to cause the truce or sufferance to be observed in all
things. The king inhibits all persons, under pain of forfeiture of body and
goods, from doing damage to the men and merchants of Flanders by land
or by sea during the truce. As the king is given to understand that many
of his subjects have done much damage to the men of Flanders in the times
of the truces between them and the king, contrary to the king's inhibition,
the king orders the mayor and bailiffs to take security from all men going
from that town and port by water to Flanders or elsewhere to parts beyond
sea that they will not aggrieve the men of Flanders by land or by sea.
The mayor and bailiffs are to know for certain that if any of the men thus
passing from that town and port do damage to the men of Flanders by land
or sea, and if they cannot be found in order to make emends for the
damages, or if they be insufficient to make such emends, the mayor and
bailiffs must answer for the damages, and that the king will hold them to
this. By K. |

truce aforesaid, and the said échevins, burgomasters, consules, etc., shall
cause the like to be done on their side. The king, considering their great

granted that the staple of wool and wool-fells shall be set up at Bruges
during the truce aforesaid. |
