Document 3/650/1 (CDS, iv, no. 1834)
- Description
- The burgesses of Scotland petition the king and council for remedy against the burgesses of Berwick and Roxburgh, who take diverse tallages and customs from them passing with their merchandises, whereas they are, and have been from time immemorial, free of all such. They pray that no sheriff or other officer interfere in their burghs or towns, against their infeftment or franchises, but that they only answer to their chamberlain duly appointed; and that no market be held in any sheriffdom except within ‘les burks chivales nostre Seignur le Roy’, as in former times. And they pray that no man take prises or carriages save the king or his lieutenant or their chamberlain.
