To the abbot of Langedon. Inhibition of his leaving the realm or going to parts beyond sea until further orders from the king, as the king understands that he intends going to parts beyond sea by reason of a citation made to him by the abbot of Prémontré, leaving unfinished certain affairs of the king. By p.s. [6040.] To the abbot of Prémontré. Request that he will treat the abbot of Langedon favourably, and that he will desist from molesting him with citations and processes, and that he will excuse the abbot from coming to him by virtue of his late citation, as the king has committed certain of his affairs to the said abbot, the execution whereof requires a long time, and the king is unable and unwilling to spare the presence of the said abbot in this realm before the said affairs are completed. He is requested to certify the king of his will in this matter by the bearer hereof. To Edmund de Wodestok, earl of Kent, constable of Dover castle, or to him who supplies his place. Order to inhibit the abbot of Langedon from going to parts beyond sea before the aforesaid affairs of the king are completed, and not to permit him to cross until further orders.
