To J. duke of Britanny, or to him who supplies his place. Whereas at
the complaint of Henry de Oreford, burgess of Ipswich, that certain malefactors and robbers of Le Conquet (Conqueto) and elsewhere in the duke's power,
took his ship called 'La Lyon de Herwiz,' price 200l. sterling, laden with
divers goods to the value of 200l. more, in the Island of Keneveys, and
carried her away, and imprisoned the captain (rectorem) and the sailors of
the ship, the late king wrote to John, then duke of Britanny, grandfather
of the present duke, requesting him to cause justice to be done to Henry,
and to release the master and mariners; whereupon the duke released the
sailors, but failed to do justice to Henry; wherefore the king gave orders at
different times to Guy Ferre and John de Hastinges, his late seneschals of
Gascony, that, if they found the aforesaid malefactors or their goods within
the duchy of Acquitaine, they should call before them those who ought to
be called and should do justice to Henry according to the custom of those
parts; and John de Hastinges afterwards, upon the failure of Arthur, late
duke of Britanny, father of the present duke, to do justice to Henry, which
he was frequently requested to do by the aforesaid seneschals, caused
certain goods of men and merchants of the power of duke Arthur to be
arrested within the aforesaid duchy, the usual process in such cases having
been observed; and the said goods were afterwards released by John,
bishop of Norwich, and John de Britannia, earl of Richmond, and certain
others sent to the duchy by the king, whereby the execution of the aforesaid
arrest and Henry's suit for damages have been much delayed without
reasonable cause; the king at length, at the petition of Henry exhibited
before him and his council, ordered Gilbert Pecche, now seneschal of
Gascony, to cause justice to be done to Henry without further delay; and
the seneschal has signified to the king by his letters that he has carefully
examined the letters and processes and proofs touching this matter, and that
it appeared clearly to him that the damages were inflicted upon Henry by
men of Britanny, and that the present duke of Britanny had been frequently
requested by his predecessors to cause the damages to be made good to Henry,
and that the duke had not done so, and that his men had beaten and grievously (letaliter) wounded Henry whilst prosecuting this matter in Britanny;
on account whereof the seneschal, having called a council of skilful persons,
granted and decreed that a letter of marque (marcham) sought by Henry
should be made against the men of Britanny and their goods until Henry
should be satisfied for 1,860l. sterling, at which sum the principal damage of
Henry and the ensuing damages were taxed by the seneschal, according to
the proofs made concerning the same; and because the seneschal has
written to the king that he had suspended the execution of the letter of
marque for a time at the request of the duke's proctor, and that the duke and
his proctor endeavour to annul Henry's process and to hinder his recovering
his goods and damages by wilful and undue processes in the court of
France and elsewhere, the king, although he might continue the letter of
marque without further process, requests the duke to cause satisfaction to be
made to Henry without further delay. The king greatly desires that Henry
should be satisfied in a friendly manner rather than that his damages should
be levied from non-consenting parties (ab invitis), as is usual in such cases.
The duke is requested to certify the king of his proceedings herein before
St. Andrew's next by his letters and by the bearer of the presents. |

To R. count of Flanders. The king, whilst staying in the northern parts
of his realm, heard with regret that dissensions have arisen between the
barons and men of the Cinque Ports and the count's men, and he has sent
W. archbishop of Canterbury and John, bishop of Ely, his treasurer, to the
barons and men of the Cinque Ports to prohibit their grieving or damaging
the count's subjects under pain of forfeiture; wherefore he requests the
count to issue a similar prohibition to his subjects; and he further requests
him to send certain of his subjects to this realm with full power to treat
concerning the damages suffered by both sides and to reform lasting peace, as
the king proposes shortly to appoint certain of his subjects to enquire concerning the aforesaid damages, and to do full and speedy justice to the
sufferers. Concerning the cloth, wines, and other goods whereof the
count's men were despoiled by the king's men at Crasdun' and La Rye, as
contained in the count's letters exhibited to the king by Master John
Boerlike, clerk of the town of Ypres, the king will cause restitution or
satisfaction to be made for the same, so far as the damages are clearly proved
by the process had in this matter or by a new process if necessary. As the
king learns that his enemies the Scots are endeavouring to make confederacies with the count's subjects, and to draw men, armour, and victuals
from the count's lands in order to strengthen themselves against the king
and his faithful subjects, he requests the count, as he did at another time, to
consider the love and concord that have existed between his and the king's
progenitors, which the king desires may be observed inviolably, and to enjoin
his subjects, under grievous forfeiture, not to aid or comfort the king's said
enemies with victuals, armour, or other necessaries, or to communicate
with them in any way. The count is desired to write back by the bearer
hereof an account of his proceedings in this matter. [Fœdera.] |

To the sheriff of York. Order to cause proclamation to be made and cause

be inflicted upon the malefactors who lately committed robberies and outrages upon G. cardinal-priest of SS. Marcellinus and Peter, and L. cardinaldeacon of St. Mary's in Via Lata, and upon others in their train, at Ache,
within the liberty of the bishopric of Durham, on account of which
outrages many persons of the sheriff's county are, as the king learns, much
disturbed and terrified, and that the king will cause any excess that may
have been committed by his ministers or others of his household by the
taking of their goods or otherwise to be corrected and amended; so that his
people may be defended from wrong and oppression. [Fœdera; Parl.

if he thinks it good for the abbey, and that he will provide him with fitting
maintenance for life from the manors, churches, or other rents of the abbey,
having regard to his age and decrepitude, as Robert, considering the expenses
that have arisen out of the disputes between him and the bishop concerning
divers articles touching the abbey, and wishing to avoid such expense by the
king's council at the instance of his friends (inimicorum), proposes to renounce the rule of the abbey if he cannot otherwise procure the bishop's
favour, for which purpose he is coming to the bishop. By p.s. |
