AUTOGRAPH OF EDWARD OF LANCASTER, SON OF HENRY VI.
In the Museum of Antiquities of Rouen is preserved an original document,
thus designated, "Lettre d'Edouard, Prince de Galles (1471)." It is kept
under a glass case, and shown as "an undoubted autograph of the Black
Prince," according to the testimony of the gentleman who has very
obligingly placed a transcript of this interesting relic at my disposal. It
is as follows:
"Chers et bons amis, nous avons entendu, que ung nostre homme lige
subject, natif de nostre pays de Galles, est occupé et détenu es
prisons de la ville de Diepe, pour la mort d'un homme d'icelle ville,
dont pour le dict cas autres ont esté exécutez. Et pour ce que nostre
dict subject estoit clerc, a esté et est encores en suspens, parce
qu'il a esté requis par les officiers de nostre très cher et aimé
cousin l'archevesque de Rouen, afin qu'il leur fut rendu, ainsi que de
droict; pourquoy nous vous prions, que icelui nostre homme et subject
vous veuillez bailler et delivrer aux gens et officiers de mon dict
cousin, sans en ce faire difficulté. Et nous vous en saurons un très
grant gré, et nous ferez ung essingulier plaisir. Car monseigneur le
roy de France nous a autorisez faire grace en semblable cas que celui
de mon dict subject, duquel desirons fort la delivrance. Escript à
Rouen, le onziesme jour de Janvier.
(Signed) EDUARD.
(Countersigned) MARTIN."
