- Nature of request
- Basinge and her fellow executors request payment of the debt owed to her husband Robert for the sum of £70 that Robert de Basing loaned to John Buteturte, William de Carlton and John de Husthwaite in Antwerp in 25 Edward I for the king's business, as more plainly appears by letters obligatory to make up the sum of £10,000 of black Tournois which the king borrowed from the merchants in those parts. They were promised payment in the quindene of Easter in the same year at the Exchequer at Westminster, but have not received it.
- Nature of endorsement
- It is ordered by a writ of Chancery to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer that they view and examine the letters obligatory of Buteturte, Carlton and Husthwaite, and if they find that it is owed then they are to make recompense from the debt owed from Robert de Basing to the king, or from the debts of others according to their discretion.
