To the barons, bailiffs, and whole community of the port of Faversham.
Order forbidding them doing anything to the breach of the king's peace
against the men of Great Yarmouth and others, on account of the disputes
between the barons and men of the Cinque Ports and the men of Great
Yarmouth, as the king is given to understand that they and the other
barons aforesaid intend to proceed against the men of Yarmouth with a

send the ships, the king will proceed against them not only as contemners
of his orders but as rebels. In order to punish those of Yarmouth and other

To the sheriff of Somerset. Whereas the king lately, by writ of judgment witnessed by Roger le Brabanzon, then chief justice to hold pleas
before the king, ordered the sheriff of Gloucester to arrest John le
Taverner, Richard Colpel, William de Clif, Robert Martyn, William Snowe,
and John Simenel, outlawed at the king's suit for the death of Alexander
de Vilers, whether found within the liberty of the town of Bristol or
without, so that he should have their bodies before the king in fifteen days
from Martinmas last; at which day he returned that he had been to Bristol
to arrest the above-named persons, and that he found them in the guildhall
of Bristol, and that they and Robert de Wyldemersh, who called himself
bailiff of that town, and the community of the town would not permit the
attachment to be made, but hindered it wholly; wherefore the king ordered
the sheriff not to omit on account of the liberty of that town, or any other
liberty of his county, to arrest the above-named persons and the aforesaid
Richard de Wildemersh and all others of the community who hindered him
as above stated, and to have their bodies before the king in the octaves of
the Holy Trinity last past, taking with him for this purpose the posse of his
county; to which the sheriff returned that he went in person to Bristol,
and that he caused all the community of the same to be assembled in the
guildhall, and that, after he had explained the tenor of the king's order
to them, they unanimously answered that they would not permit the
aforesaid John le Taverner or Robert de Wyldemersh or any other person
of that town to be attached or taken away thence, and they hindered the
sheriff from executing the king's order by force and arms; whereupon the
sheriff attached by word and imposition of hands Henry le Shipman and
many others of that town who hindered him, but the persons so attached
broke the attachment by force and arms; wherefore the sheriff, taking with
him a great posse of the county, afterwards went to the town to execute
the king's order, and he found the gates of the town closed against him,
and the whole community raised in war against the king, having associated
with them a multitude of malefactors from Bayonne and Wales, and that
the community drained (assewiaverunt) and wholly dried up the ditch of
the king's castle there, and broke and destroyed the king's mill of the
castle, and made a ditch in that town before the castle gate of the breadth
and depth of 24 feet, and strengthened the ditch with a strong peel (pela),
and constructed there and elsewhere in the city bretasches (bretachia),
chains, springalds (springalda), and other engines to attack and approach
the castle, so that no person in the castle could leave the castle towards the
town in any way, retaining the town against the king and preparing other
things in express rebellion against him with banners raised; the king,
wishing to have further information concerning these actions and to recall
the community to obedience by gentle means, has caused Aymer de
Valencia, earl of Pembroke, William Inge, John de Insula, and John de
Mutford to be sent to Bristol to inform themselves fully concerning the
premises, and to induce the community to obey the king as they should do,
and, if the community should remain in rebellion, to ordain, in the king's
name and by his authority, ways and means to punish the community, as
contained in the king's letters patent to the aforesaid William and John de
Insula and John de Mutford; and although they and the earl went to that
town and endeavoured to induce the community to obey the king by gentle
ways and means offered by them to the community on the king's behalf, the
community wholly refused to obey the king in the premises; whereupon
the earl, with the counsel of the said William and John de Insula, according
to the power granted to them by the aforesaid letters, enjoined the sheriff
of Somerset to cause proclamation to be made forbidding any one to communicate with any of the said community, or to sell, lend, or minister to
them victuals or other necessaries, and to arrest any whom he should find
infringing this prohibition, as the earl has signified to the king by his letters,
and the said William and John de Insula have explained to the king by
word of mouth upon their return; the king, approving the action of the
earl and William and John de Insula, orders the sheriff to execute everything ordered by the earl on the king's behalf. By K. |
