Manuscript The National Archives, series C 54, membrane 33 (class as printed in the calendar; consult AALT/TNA for the original roll)

To the constable of Beaumaris castle in North Wales, or to him who supplies his place. Order to provide that castle without delay with men and other necessaries according to the fees which he has received from the king, as the king previously ordered him to see to this, but hitherto he has done little or nothing, and dangers are feared from a foreign invasion of those parts, and from the lightness of head of the Welsh, and if the constable is remiss, the king will punish him.
