| Description | From: the consuls of the states of Prussia, assembled at Marienburg for pleas ('Nuncii Consulares Civitatum terre Prusie marienborgh ad placita congregati')
To: the mayor, bailiffs and commonalty ('communitas') of Kingston-upon-Hull
William Esturmy, knight, John Kyngton', clerk and William Brampton, citizen of London, have been appointed as the king of England's ambassadors in Prussia, to settle disputes between the king's subjects and those of the Grand Master ('magister generalis') [of the Teutonic Knights].
A plea has been entered that a certain Tutbury from Hull took grain belonging to the Prussian merchants Godekin pekel, Tydeman swarten, Nicholas van der zelne and Tydeman wolden to the value of 500 nobles from a tar-boat? ('tarschow'). Investigations revealed that the grain had been sold in England and the money obtained for it was kept in safe custody. A sum of money belonging to William Rumlegh, merchant of York, in the hands of John hamer, consul in Danzig, is to be returned to him. The money obtained from the sale of the grain is to be handed over to Tydeman marci and Henry Nyenhoff, the merchants' proctors.
Given at Gdansk ('Danzig) [Gdansk, Poland]. |
