Mandate to all persons of the county of Devon, to take speedy counsel how the parts towards the Isle of Lunday may be guarded, so that they may not suffer damage by the king's enemies who maintain themselves in that island; knowing that unless they do this, the king has given orders to Henry de Trascy, Reginald de Valle Torta, Philip de Bello Monte and Geoffrey Dinaunt to keep the peace at their expense by the counsel of the sheriff and to manfully resist the wiles of the said enemies.
