Description
Petitioners
? No Petitioner named
Nature of request
Letter from the burgesses and community of Kingston upon Hull to Edward II, stating that they had written to the Bishop of Utrecht on behalf of their fellow-burgess, Henry Danyel, asking him to do justice in the matter of a ship and merchandise taken from Henry in a place called Halanland, in the sea off Hamburg, by Hertowe Naghel of Kampen and other malefactors of the Bishop's power; but that the Bishop has done nothing, nor have the letters of the King or his father had any effect. This has been attested by their fellow-burgesses and others. They ask the King to provide an appropriate remedy for Henry.

Dated 27 February 3 Edward II (1310). CCR 1307-13 p.202 is dated 24 March 1310 and p.211 is dated 21 May 1310. Eastland would seem to be a general term used for the North Sea/Baltic region, while Halanland or (Haland Laund) appears to be the name given to a shipping lane on the approach to Hamburg, either in the North Sea or the River Elbe.
