- Nature of request
- Three petitions from merchants of Ypres:1) Michael Belle states that in 1318 Arnold de Spayne had several sacks of wool belonging to him arrested at Hull for a trespass that he claimed that the burgomaster and echevins of Bruges had committed against lady Perote Brune of Bordeaux, whose attorney he was, and Michael was forced to pay costs, expenses and damages amounting to £300, wrongly and without reason; which he cannot do by reason of the franchise of the merchants of Ypres, as appears from the judgment of the court. He asks that Arnold might be compelled by the king to pay Michael this sum, or as much as he can show evidence for.2) Clay de Joeng states that in the same year Gaucelin Pagan had wools and goods belonging to him and his companions arrested, for a trespass that he claimed was committed against him at sea by Flemings; which he cannot do because of the franchise. Nevertheless he forced them to pay £100 sterling. They ask that he might be compelled to repay them.3) Peter Anguille states that he sent money to London to trade with, under a safe-conduct granted by the king, and Hamo de Chikwelle, then Mayor of London had that money arrested, in the full knowledge of the safe-conduct, which he cannot do, causing Peter damages of £9 sterling. He asks that the said Mayor might be compelled to repay him.
