1276. To John Bek and Philip de Wylby.
Order to restore upon this present occasion to the merchants of Douay in Flanders their goods arrested by John and Philip; for the king lately ordered John and Philip to arrest the wool and goods of merchants of Flanders in Boston Fair and at Lynn and Lincoln, yet it was not his intention that the goods of certain persons should be arrested, but that all goods and wares of Flemings should be arrested at one and the same time everywhere in the realm, by reason of the debt which the countess of Flanders owes to him and the merchants of the realm; and by reason of the neglect of the agreement between the king and countess; and the king did not then recollect his grant to the Flemish merchants that they might safely come into the realm and stay until the feast of St. Peter ad Vincula last past.
Cal. of Close, 1272-9, 308.
1293. To the Steward of the Bishop of Winchester, late Keeper of the Fair of Winchester.
Order to cause to be delivered to Robert de Basing, citizen of London, two bales of cloth, which Robert lately bought from the merchants of St. Omer in the fair aforesaid, and which the steward caused to be arrested under pretext of the king's order to arrest the goods and wares of merchants of the power and lordship of the count d'Artois; as Robert de Tybetot has become surety before the king for the said Robert that he will answer to the king for the bales in the next parliament.
