Petitioners

Godkin de Revele (Revel), merchant of Almaine.

Name(s)

de Revele (Revel), Godkin

Addressees

King and council.

Occupation

merchant of Almaine

Nature of request

Godkin shows that he had bought wool in Nottinghamshire, and left it at the house of Ralph Sansemer. Following this Stephen le Heyr came and seized the wool into the king's hand, being assigned out of the Exchequer to take the goods and chattels of those in the allegiance of the king of France, and he put them into the keeping of Robert Stuffin who is charged to save them for the king's use. Godkin requests that as he is not of the allegiance of the king of France that he may have delivery of the wool, and Stuffin be discharged.

Nature of endorsement

Let it be ordered to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer by a writ of the great seal that it was not the intention of the king and council that the goods and chattels of merchants of Germany who are in the friendship of the king should be taken into his hand by reason of the commission, and that they should discharge Stuffin of the wool if it is demanded of him by this cause, and deliver the wool to Godkin.
