Nov. 30. Westminster. |
To Llewelyn (Lewelino), son of Griffin, prince of Wales. Whereas the
king ordered the prince several times by letters and envoys to pay 2,000
marks to Poncius de Mora, the king's merchant, and 3,000 marks to
Reginald de Grey, justice of Chester, to be paid to divers of the king's
merchants in his name, and Llewelyn has hitherto done nothing in this
respect, making excuses, whereat the king is much astonished; the king
notifies to him that he has decided that the excuses are not true or acceptable
or suitable in any way, but he considers himself to be grievously and contemptibly hurt, not without ignominy and the loss of his creditors, who
have returned empty-handed and hopeless and fatigued with their labours
and expenses, more especially as the king is and always will be ready to
observe the peace concluded between the late king and Llewelyn. |
