To Alfonso, king of Aragon. John Pyncelegh of Genoa, citizen of London, and Nicholas Arnaud, merchant of Luca and of the city of London, have shown the king that whereas Nicholas laded 18 bales of lambs' wool, containing 23 sacks 18 cloves of the price of 246l. in a ship called 'la Seint Vincent' of Catelon, whereof Bernard Vilarii de Catelon is master, at the cost and risk of John, in the port of Bristol, in the months of June and July, to be taken to the port of Pyse in Tuscany, as appears by public instruments thereupon in the possession of John and Nicholas; Inferrus Piers, John Isport, Andrew Savyll, Bernard Bariarusse, Nicholas Siriano and other malefactors of Alfonso's lordship or power, entered that ship and took the goods therein, dividing them among themselves, whereupon John and Nicholas have besought the king to provide a remedy: the king therefore requests Alfonso to hear their complaint and to cause the speedy complement of justice to be done for them, as he would wish the king to do to his subjects in like case.
Dec. 15.
Hoxne.
To the same. Like request in favour of Gorius Bonacursis de Arecio, merchant of London, who has shown the king that he laded 22 bales of good wool and lambs' wool, weighing 24½ sacks according to the weight of England, in a ship called 'la Seint Vincent' of Bartholona, whereof Bernard Vilarii de Catelon is master, to be taken to the port of Marseilles in Provence, in the port of Bristol, in the months of June and July last, as may appear by letters patent under the coket seal, and public instruments thereupon in Gorius's possession and divers malefactors of Alfonso's power, attacked that ship near Majorca, took away the wool and other goods therein and divided them among themselves, to the damage of Gorius of 100l.
