Carta pro Mercatoribus Alemannia, qui habent domum in London, qua Gildhalla
Teutonicorum vulgariter nuncupatur. Anno 44. Henrici tertij, & Anno primo
& 29. Edwardi primi renouata & confirmata.

Ad instantiam Serenissimi principis Richardi Romanorum Regis charissimi
fratris nostri concedimus mercatonbus Alemannia, illis videlicet qui habent
domum in Ciuitate nostra London, qua Gildhalla Teutonicorum vulganter
nuncupatur, quod eos vniuersos manutenebimus per totum Regnum nostrum in
omnibus ijsdem libertatibus & liberis consuetudinibus, quibus ipsi nostris
& [Marginal note: Nota antiquitatem.] progenitorum nostrorum temporibus vsi
sunt & gauisi. Ipsosque extra huiusmodi libertates & liberas consuetudines
non trahemus, nec trahi aliquatenus permittemus. In cuius rei testimonium
has literas nostras fieri fecimus patentes.
