- Nature of request
- The poor petitioners from the county of Somerset seek recovery of their ransoms and of their great loss, from the goods of a certain bishop. They show that they were captured in the company of Courtenay upon the sea by a ship of Bishop Laurence Dalmade from Portugal, taken to Lisbon and held in the bishop's prison to their great distress, to end by a heavy ransom from their estate, which ransom they have paid to the bishop to their great ruin. For this a barge loaded with wine and other goods for the bishop came to the ports of Melcombe Regis and Weymouth, and was there arrested by the king's ministers.
