To Sancho, king of Majorca, count of Roussillon and La Cerdana (Ciritanie), and lord of Montpellier (Montph ). The king has received Sancho s letters, which Albert Sacortada, knight, Bernard Guillielmi Soryn, burgess, and Peter de Planesio, learned in the law, Sancho s envoys, have presented to him, concerning a robbery committed on the sea by the king's subjects upon Sancho s men of his realm of Majorca, and the king has had full treaty of the contents with his council; and although it would be difficult, according to the law of this realm, to prove these evil deeds, because those who suffered the damages refused to press for justice in this behalf, alleging certain causes before the king, the king has, however, ordained a special process to discover the truth in the matter, whereby the said deeds may be proved and punished, and he therefore signifies to Sancho that he will always be found ready to do speedy justice to Sancho s subjects coming into this realm.
