Reference
SC 8/18/893
Date
[c. 1376]
Description
Petitioners
Robert Haulay (Hawley); John Shakel (Shakell).
Name(s)
Haulay (Hawley); Shakel (Shakell), Robert; John
Addressees
King and clords of parliament.
Places mentioned
La Baye (Bay of Bourgneuf)
[Brittany, France].
Nature of request
Robert Haulay and John Shakel state that they have obeyed the king in the matter of the release of their two Flemish prisoners, taken at the Bay, and request justice in the matter of these prisoners, paying them their expenses in this matter, which amount to 1100 marks sterling.
Nature of endorsement
[None].
Note
This petition seems to be addressing Edward III rather than Richard II (the petition seems to say that it pleased 'you' to order the release of the Flemings, rather than 'the late king'), so the date of '? 1378' given on the guard, with reference to the following petition, must be wrong.
