July 80, London
Mandate to Bartholomew de Badelesmere, constable of the castle of Bristol, lately appointed to that office, and to be keeper of the town of Bristol and the barton there, not to meddle with the custody of the town and barton, as the king has committed that custody tothe mayor, bailiffs and commonality of Bristol, upon his learning that they were oppressed by the constable's lieutenant and his men. In the next Parliament the king will order touching such acts of oppression and the custody of the town as will seem best to him. By K. and C.
