Memorandum, that whereas lately in the parliament of Staunford it was
agreed between the envoys of W. count of Hainault, Holland, and Zeeland,
having special powers in this behalf, and Walter le Keu, of Lincoln, for
himself and other merchants of England, seeking for restitution to be made
to him and his fellows for their goods to a great sum taken by the men
of Holland and Zeeland, that the envoys should find the said Walter
and his fellows security to their content for the said sum of money,
as is contained in the rolls of chancery, and the count bound himself for
payment of that sum at certain terms to Robert Elys, of Great Yarmouth,
so that the said Robert should find the merchants security for that sum on
behalf of the count and his men of Holland and Zeeland; the said Robert,
on Thursday the morrow of Ash Wednesday (Cinerum), in the fourth year of
the king's reign, appeared in chancery, and granted and acknowledged that he
would come into chancery in the quinzaine of Easter next, and make the
security to the said merchants that he was bound to make for the remainder
of the sum due to them; and this he promised to do under grievous penalty
to be paid to the king. |
