THE King, to Olave, King of Man, greeting. We ask you not to extend your hand to the Abbey of Furness, which is our free eleemosinary, and that you shall not suffer to be committed upon the Abbot or the monks of the said Abbey, nor upon their men, any injury, annoyance, or hurt. That henceforth so acting, it may not be necessary to use more severe means in this matter. Witness the King at Westminster, the 6th day of March.

ROTULI LITTERARUM CLAUSARUM.

2 HEN. III

REX Olavus Regi de Man salutem. Rogamus vos quatenus ad Abbatiam de Furnesio que libera elemosina nostra est manus non extendatis, nee Abbati vel monachis ejusdem Abbatie vel hominibus suis ullam faciatis aut inferri permittatis injuriam molestiam aut gravamen. Tantum inde facientes ne oporteat nos manum ad hoe apponere graviorem. Teste Rege apud Westmonasterium, sexto die Marcii.
