To Charles, count of Valoyes. The king has heard the things explained
to him by Master John de Porta concerning a marriage between Edward,
his eldest son, and the count's daughter, according to the credence delivered
to the said John by the count, and the king has deliberated upon the same
with some of his council; but, as it seems to him and to them that it is not
expedient or fitting that such contract should be confirmed without requiring
the consent of the prelates and magnates of the realm in parliament, he
intimates to the count that he proposes to convoke a parliament soon after
Michaelmas, and he will then ordain by the common counsel in the matter
what shall be agreeable to the count and useful to this realm. [Fœdera.] |

To Sancho, king of Majorca, count of Roussillon and La Cerdana
(Ciritanie), and lord of Montpellier (Montph'). The king has received
Sancho's letters, which Albert Sacortada, knight, Bernard Guillielmi Soryn,
burgess, and Peter de Planesio, learned in the law, Sancho's envoys, have
presented to him, concerning a robbery committed on the sea by the king's
subjects upon Sancho's men of his realm of Majorca, and the king has had full
treaty of the contents with his council; and although it would be difficult,
according to the law of this realm, to prove these evil deeds, because those
who suffered the damages refused to press for justice in this behalf, alleging
certain causes before the king, the king has, however, ordained a special
process to discover the truth in the matter, whereby the said deeds may be
proved and punished, and he therefore signifies to Sancho that he will
always be found ready to do speedy justice to Sancho's subjects coming into
this realm. [Fœdera.] |

To the abbot of Cluny. The king has frequently written to the abbot's
predecessor and to the abbot requesting them to cause the wrongs inflicted
upon the king and his subjects in the court of the king of France by the
priors of St. Estropius in Saintonge and the prior of the cell of the abbot's
house of Abbeville, in the king's earldom of Ponthieu, and by other ministers
and proctors of the abbot to be redressed; but no remedy has resulted, the
grievances having rather increased, the prior of the cell of Abbeville more
especially daily, by himself and his proctors and ministers, not only abolishing
the king's rights and jurisdictions in his town of Abbeville and the rights
and jurisdictions of the chapter of St. Auftren of the same town, which
belongs and belonged to the king and his predecessors as counts of Ponthieu,
by means of special safeguards (gardia), and of other subjects of the king, but
also inflict as much damage as possible in the king's forests of those parts:
wherefore the king again requests the abbot to cause the aforesaid priors to
desist from inflicting such grievances upon the king and his subjects, and
to induce them to make satisfaction for the damages committed by them, as
otherwise the kings will not be slow in applying a heavier hand for the
preservation of the right of him and his subjects. The abbot is desired to
write an account of his proceedings herein by the bearer. |

To Stephen, bishop of London. Order to prevent the people going to a
certain tablet (tabula) in St. Paul's, London, whereon are depicted
statues, sculpture, or images of divers persons, and amongst others the
effigy of Thomas, late earl of Lancaster, or from offering prayers, making
offerings, or doing other things there without the authority of the church of
Rome, as the king learns with displeasure that many of the people go to the
said tablet and worship it as a holy thing without the authority of the
church of Rome, asserting that miracles are done there, and the king learns
that the bishop connives at these practices for the sake of gain, whereas he
ought to protect the king's honour. He is to certify the king in writing of
his proceedings without delay. [Fœdera.] |
