Henry
King of England to Geoffrey de Mandeville and to all the Barons French
and English of Devon and Cornwall greeting. May you know that I have
granted to Saint Mary of Tavistock and to the monks that they may have a
market at Tavistock every week on Friday. And I grant to the merchants
that they may sell and buy whatever they wish and that no-one to them on
this account wrong shall do. With witness William Warelwast and Alfred
of Lincoln and Harding son of Alnod and Walter son of Ansger at
Stamford.
