When William, Count of Ros, being detained in our prison below the Tower, sent to London for his son Hugh, to come to him there, and to speak with him with our permission, we received the aforesaid Hugh as our servant safe and secure in coming to his father the aforesaid Hugh as far as the Tower aforesaid, and staying there. And therefore we command you that in coming and staying, as has been foretold, you do not inflict or allow to be inflicted upon the same Hugh, any injury, trouble, damage, hindrance, or burden. In which, etc., until the feast of St. Michael next will last.
