- Nature of request
- The people of Carlisle make two requests:1) They request the king's aid to repair their wall, as they have been too impoverished by Scottish raids to be able to repair it themselves.2) They state that they have been amerced in the King's Bench, and Common Pleas, and at the Exchequer, and have lost legal cases, because they could not leave their city to come to where the king was, through being besieged by the Scots, or through being ordered by their then Keeper, Andrew de Herclay, to remain in Carlisle to guard it. They ask that they might be pardoned these issues and their amercements after the king's ninth year.
- Nature of endorsement
- Before the king (coram rege), because concerning his special grace.It seems to the council, because the town is in the March, that it is right for the king to take care that the walls are repaired in some good way, either by them or by others, as swiftly as possible.With regard to the pardon of the issues and amercements, the Treasurer and Barons are to be ordered to inform the king what issues and amercements are demanded of them, and from what time, and from what persons, and how; and they are further to inform the king, so that he might speak his will on this.
