Document 5/3/0 (CDS, v, no. 337)
- Description
- Letter from John Botetourt to William of Greenfield, chancellor. John Mercer of Bolton who has dwelt long in the king's service in Scotland, has the king's letter under the privy seal for a charter of his peace, which letter was purchased when Sir John of Langton was chancellor. Because he was on the king's service in Scotland, he could not then obtain the charter. Asks that William of Greenfield receive the king's letter, even though it does not date from his time as chancellor, and that John may have his charter, as the chancellor can well see that this was the king's wish and command. Witnesses that John Mercer could not have purchased this charter because of his stay in Scotland on the king's service.
