Another Letter of Edward the second, to Haquinus King of Norway, in the behalfe of certaine English Marchants

Magnifico Principi Dom Haquino Dei gratia regi Norwegia illustri, amico suo charissimo, Edwardus eadem Dei gratia Rex Anglia, dominus Hybernia, & dux Aquitania, salutem cum dilectione sincera. [Sidenote: Northberna villa.] Querelam dilectorum Mercatorum nostrorum Thoma de Swyn de Waynfleete, & Simonis filij Alani de eadem recepimus, continentem, Quod cum ipsi nuper quosdam seruientes suos infra regnum vestrum pro suis ibidem exercendis mercimonijs transmisissent, Thesaurarius vester bona & mercimonia pradictorum Thoma & Simonis ad valenciam quadraginta librarum, qua seruientes pradicti in villa de Northberne in sua custodia habuerunt, die Sancti Michalis vltimo praterita fecit absque causa rationabili arestari, & ea adhuc taliter arestata detinet iniuste, in ipsorum Thoma & Simonis damnum non modicum & depauperationem manifestam. Et quia eisdem mercatoribus nostris subuenire volumus, quatenus suadente iustitia poterimus in hac parte, vestram amicitiam requirimus cum affectu, quatenus audita querela pradictorum Thoma & Simonis, vel ipsorum atturnatorum super restitutione bonorum & mercimoniorum pradictorum impendere velitis eisdem celeris iustitia complementum: Ita quod pro defectu exhibitionis iustitia super arestatione pradicta non oporteat nos pro mercatoribus nostris pradictis de alio remedio prouidere.
