Reference: SC 8/21/1030
Description:
Petitioners: Barons of Dover.
Addressees: King.
Nature of request: The barons of Dover request that the king ordain in this present parliament that the ordinance made in Edward III's parliament at York, that all pilgrims leaving England must do so via Dover, might be firmly kept and upheld.
Nature of endorsement: The king wishes that pilgrims and all other people wishing to pass over the sea out of the realm, except for known merchants and soldiers and men at arms, should do so via the ports of Dover or Plymouth, and not elsewhere without the king's special permission: but that those who wish to go to Ireland may cross from Liverpool, Chester, Bristol, or elsewhere as they please.
Places mentioned: Dover, [Kent]; York; Plymouth, [Devon]; Liverpool, [Lancashire]; Chester, [Cheshire]; Bristol; Ireland.
People mentioned: Edward [III], King of England.
Note: Rot. Parl. vol. III p.275a (no. 5) dates this petition to the parliament of January 1390 (1389, as they are using the old calendar), but the dating of many of the petitions ascribed by them to particular years of Richard II is not very secure.
