Document 5/1/0 (CDS, v, no. 363)
- Description
- Draft writ from King Edward I to William of Felton, the king has received his letters. He wished the king to send 30 men at arms to harass the garrison of Stirling, but when his letters came the king’s men were dispersed foraging, and before they could be assembled the time would come for the king to move near to Stirling, which he intends shortly to do. Hence he is not sending men at arms. William is to give his news and the enemy’s plans to Sir John Comyn and other good men in those parts and they, together with the garrison of Kirkintilloch and any others whom he can hire, are to do the best they can till the king’s arrival. He is also to send the great engine of Linlithgow to the sea, with stones and other pertinents so that the king’s men can find them quickly at the sea ready to be loaded at whatever time the king sends them.
