1 Henry le Peytevin, of Bath 2 John Coc, and his heirs or assigns From 1 to 2 A certain stall at the stalls of Bath for 4 marks of silver and one tunic of bluet (blue cloth) which the same John paid me: which stall is at the west end of the churchyard, on the east side of the plot opposite to that house which belonged to Hidebrond, between the stall of Master Henry Parvus, and the stall of Walter Falc. The said John, and his heirs or assigns, shall therefore hold and have the same stall, with its liberties and free customs, and all its appurtenances, in fee and inheritance, for ever, fully and peacefully, freely and quietly, from all claim and disturbance by me and my heirs or any other persons. Rendering yearly for it to the lord the King at the Feast of St. Michael for land gabel (land tax), 6 pence, for all service, custom, plaint, exaction and demand. I, therefore, Henry Peytevin, and my heirs and assigns, will warrant and defend the aforesaid stall, with its appurtenances, to the aforesaid John Coc, and his heirs or assigns, for ever, against all men and women. And that this my grant, sale and confirmation may have the strength of perpetual security, I have corroborated the present charter with the impression of my seal. This sale, I, Henry, have made for my urgent need, because I was charged with money due to the King, and was heavily indebted to him for my ransom, in the year of grace 1249, by assent and consent of Joan, then my wife. Consideration: 4 marks of silver and one tunic of bluet (blue cloth) In witness of which sale the citizens of Bath have to this charter set the seal of their Commonality. Language: Latin
