De mercatoribus Anglia in Norwegia arestatis, & eorum mercimonijs de
arrestandis litera Edwardi secundi anno sexto regni sui, Haquino regi
Norwegia.
Magnifico principi domino Haquino Dei gratia regi Norwegia illustri amico
suo charissimo Edwardus eadem Dei gratia rex Anglia, Dom. Hibernia, & dux
Aquitania salutem cum dilectione sincera. Miramur non modicum & in intimis
conturbamur de grauaminibus & oppressionibus qua subditis nostris infra
