- Nature of request
- Request, presumably from Martyn himself, that he be allowed to appoint Gylewyn to perform the office of keeper of the smaller piece of the seal for recognisances of debt in Bristol if he is absent for reasonable cause. This follows a copy a writ of Edward I, dated at Odiham on 8 January 1303, ordering the removal of Staunton from this office, as an inquisition held by Fermbaud has found that he does not reside there or perform the office satisfactorily. At the request of Mary, the king's daughter, nun of Amesbury, the office was to be granted to Martyn.

Note (Additional information about the record)
