fortieth yeere of Henry the third.
Henry by the grace of God King of England, Lord of Ireland, Duke of
Normandie and Aquitaine, and Earle of Anjou, to all his Bailifs sendeth
greeting. Know ye that at the instant request of our welbeloued and trusty
brother Richard Earle of Cornewal being of late elected king of the
Romanes, we haue receiued vnder our protection and defence, and vnder our
safe and secure conduct, the citizens of Lubek in Alemain, with all their
goods and wares, which they shall bring or cause to be brought into our
kingdome. We haue also granted vnto them, that of all their goods and
merchandize, nothing shal be seized vnto the vse of our selues, or of any
other without their owne consent, but that they may freely sell and
exercise traffike therewith according as they shall thinke expedient. And
therefore we straightly command you, that neither your selues do offer, nor
that you permit any other to offer any impediment or moletstation vnto the
said Burgers or vnto their messengers, either at their comming into our
land, with their goods and marchandize, in the time of their abode there,
or at their departure from thence, and that yee neither molest them your
selues, nor yet suffer them by others to be molested, contrary to the
aforesaid Charter. In testimonie whereof, we haue caused these our Letters
to be made Patents, during the space of seuen yeeres next following.
