Document 5/1/0 (CDS, v, no. 262)

Description
Privy seal writ from Edward I to the treasurer or his lieutenant and the barons and chamberlain of exchequer. Complains that he is still seriously short of money. But for lack of money he would have completed the bridge across the Firth of Forth. Addressees are ordered to send as much money as possible since the king intends to spend the winter in Scotland. Money sent into Scotland is to be sent to the king only, with the following exceptions: to Galloway for the garrisons of Dumfries and Lochmaben, and to others guarding that march, and to Earl Patrick who is at Newcastle-on-Ayr. When the queen and prince of Wales join the king, money is to be sent straight to the king except as above. Alexander Covners, clerk, bearer of this letter, will give further information on the state of the army and campaign.
