To William de Clynton, earl of Huntingdon, constable of Dover castle
and warden of the Cinque Ports, or to him who supplies his place. Thomas
de Faveresham, of Sandwich, has shown the king that whereas he was
staying with the duchess of Brittanny with a ship of war to attack her
enemies at sea, and she gave him a ship with 44 tuns of wine, which
he took in war from the said enemies, in part remuneration, as
may fully appear by her letters patent in his possession, and in coming
with the ship and wine to the realm he was driven by contrary
winds to the port of Fowy in Cornwall, and sold a part of the said
wine to Robert Steffan, of Sandwich, Thomas Thoneman, of Wynchelese,
master of a ship called 'la Porterose' of Wynchelese, and certain
accomplices took the ship and the wine by force and arms before he could
deliver them to Robert, and took them to the town of Wynchelese and did
their pleasure therewith, as may fully appear by the letters testimonial of
the sheriff and steward of Cornwall and of other trustworthy persons of those
parts which are in Thomas's possession, to the damage of Thomas and Robert
of 200l.; whereupon they have besought the king to provide a remedy: the
king therefore orders the warden to hear the plaint of Thomas and Robert,
and if he finds that the premises contain the truth, then to cause Thomas
Toneman and his accomplices with the ship called 'le Porterose' to be
arrested and to keep them in the prison of the said castle until Thomas and
Robert are fully satisfied for the ship and wine and for the damages
incurred by them. By K. |

made to them, without respect to any order to the contrary as in part
payment of a great sum of money in which the king is bound to
William de Monte Acuto, earl of Salisbury, the king assigned to him 4,000
marks of the said fines, and the king appointed Thomas, John and John to
