14 Jul 1297, Westminster.
To Theobald de Verdun. The king is not pleased with his letter of excuse for not coming to him with horses and arms, in accordance with the king's letters lately sent to him, in which he excused himself on the grounds of his infirmity of body and other causes of trouble and as also of the death of John, his eldest son, whom he had proposed to send in his place, as stated in his letter. As, however, the king holds that his second son Theobald, according to the king's recollection of him when he last saw him and as he learns by trustworthy testimony, is able and strong enough to supply his brother's place, he requests and orders Theobald to send him to the king in John's place to go with the king in his service at his wages, laying aside all excuse. This he is warned not to omit as he loves his honour and profit and as the king trusts in him.
To John Wogan, justiciary of Ireland. Order to cause the aforesaid Theobald son of Theobald to have passage by sea and the king's wages in coming to the king.
