Manuscript The National Archives, series C 54, membrane 11d (class as printed in the calendar; consult AALT/TNA for the original roll)

To the abbot of Citeaux and to the other abbots about to assemble in the Cistercian chapter-general. The king wills that they shall hold the abbots and monks of their order in England excused from attending the chapter-general, other than the abbot of Geroudon, as he wills for certain reasons that no abbot other than the abbot of Geroudon and no monk of their order of what estate or condition soever he may be shall leave the realm for their chapter-general on this occasion.
