To the mayor and sheriffs of London. Order, as they desire the
king's furtherance, to suffer all persons who have received money of
the king's for sailing to Scotland in company of Richard de Cliderowe
esquire, for defence and safe keeping of the king's victuals to be
carried to him and his army, to pass with the said Richard to the king
and his army without let or arrest, that such sailing be not hindered
nor delayed by default of the mayor and sheriffs; as the king has
learned that divers such persons are by them arrested at suit of certain
men of the city of London, so that they may not sail as they ought to
do, in contempt of the king and to the delaying of such victuals; and
in consideration of the hurt and peril to him and his army and to the
whole realm which would be like to happen, the king's will is to take
precaution, as he is bound to do. By C. |
