ibi erant, de necessitatibus totius populi mei, tam Angli quam Dani, vt eis
concederetur lex aquior, & pax securior in via Romam adeundi, & ne tot
clausuris per viam arcerentur, & propter iniustum teloneum fatigarentur.
Annuitque postulatis Imperator, & Rodulphus Rex, qui maxime ipsarum
clausurarum dominatur, cunctique principes edictis firmarunt, vt homines
mei tam Mercatores, quam alij orandi gratia viatores, absque omni anguria
clausurarum & teloneariorum, cum firma pace Romam eant & redeant.

The same in English.

You are to vnderstand, that at the feast of Easter, there was a great
company of Nobles with Pope Iohn and Conradus the Emperour assembled at
Rome, namely all the princes of the nations from mount Garganus [Footnote:
Garganus a mountain of Apulia in Italy.] vnto the West Ocean sea. Who all
of them honourably interteined me, and welcomed mee with rich and
magnificent gifts: but especially the Emperour bestowed diuers costly
presents and rewards vpon mee, both in vessels or golde and siluer, and
also in cloakes and garments of great value. Wherefore I conferred with the
Emperour himselfe and the Pope, and with the other Princes who were there
present, concerning the necessities of all my subiects both Englishmen and
Danes; that a more fauourable law & secure peace in their way to Rome might
bee graunted vnto them, and that they might not bee hindered by so many
stops & impediments in their iourney, and weaned by reason of iniust
exactions. And the Emperour condescended vnto my request, and king
Rodulphus also, who hath greatest authoritie ouer the foresaid stops and
streights, and all the other princes confirmed by their Edicts, that my
subiects, as well Marchants, as others who trauailed for deuotions sake,
should without all hinderance and restraint of the foresaid stops and
customers, goe vnto Rome in peace, and returne from thence in safetie.
