- Description
- The king’s ‘late’ burgesses of Roxburgh, who were surprised by the enemy, losing their goods and only saving their lives, and took refuge at Berwick and Newcastle-on-Tyne, complain that the bailiffs of these places prevent them from baking or making merchandise for their sustenance, but treat them as strangers; they pray the king to redress their grievances.
