Whereas according to the form of peace concluded between the late king and Llewelyn, the latter is bound to. the king in 8,000 marks, to be paid at Christmas next, as Llewelyn knows, and the king is bound to divers ereditors in a great sum of money for the discharge of the expenses incurred by him in the service of God in the Holy Land, so that he greatly needs the aforesaid 8,000 marks; he therefore orders Llewelyn to consider the fact that the king has been, is, and will be ready to observe the said peace inviolably from the time of its conclusion, and to send the said sum to Chester at the said feast at the latést, there to be delivered for custody to the abbot of Chester or brother Alan, his monk, as the king has enjoined upon the abbot. This Llewelyn is to neglect in no wise as he loves the king and his honour, and as the king specially trusts him. The king is sending to the abbot and monk his letters patent, which are to be delivered to Llewelyn upon payment of the aforesaid sum. Witnesses: W. archbishop of York and E. earl of Cornwall.
