- Nature of endorsement
- On 6 May in the 2nd year etc. the King sent this petition to the chancellor to show it to the council. And on the next morning the petition was read before the council. It was agreed that the Duke of York should have assignment of the amounts contained within to be paid from the customs and subsidies of wool, hides and wool-fells due to the King by the Duke's tenants in his lordship of Grantham until the same amounts have been paid to the Duke, saving always the assignment made for the town and marches of Calais. And thereon the Chancellor made letters patent of the great seal to the Duke.
