To the treasurer and barons of the exchequer. Order to supersede the demand made upon William de Percy, knight, for finding men at arms, hobelers or archers for the king's service to parts beyond the sea, or for paying any sums of money for that cause, for the time that he was upon the safe keeping of the realm in the march of Scotland, as in the 20th year of the reign, while the king was in parts beyond the sea with his army, William was making continual stay upon the said duty against the incursions of the king's Scottish enemies, with his household and all his power until the king's return to England, and was present sufliciently furnished at the battle of Durham, as the king has learned by trustworthy testimony.
