To the mightie Prince Lord Haquinus, by the grace of God the famous King of
Norway, his most deare friend Edward by the same grace of God king of
England, Lorde of Ireland, and Duke of Aquitaine, greeting and sincere
loue. Wee receiued the complaint of our welbeloued Merchants Thomas de Swyn
of Waynfleet, and Simon the sonne of Alanus of the same towne: the contents
whereof are, that whereas of late, the saide parties sent certaine of their
seruants to traffike in your kingdome, your Treasurer vpon the feast of S.
Michal last past, without any iust or reasonable occasion, caused the goods
and merchandise of the foresaide Thomas and Simon, to the value of fortie
pound, which their said seruants had vnder their custodie at the towne of
Northberne, to be arrested, and as yet also iniurously deteineth the same
vnder the same arrest, to the great damage and impouereshing of the sayd
Thomas and Simon. And forasmuch as our desire is to succour these our
marchants so far foorth as we can, Iustice requiring no lesse in this
behalfe, we doe right earnestly request you, that hauing hearde the
complaint and supplication of the foresayde Thomas and Simon, or of their
Atturneyes, you woulde of your loue and friendship, vouchsafe them speedie
administration of Iustice, about the restitution of their goods and
marchandise aforesaide: least that for want of the exhibiting of Iustice
about the foresaid arrest, we be constrained to prouide some other remedie
for our marchants aforesaid.
