The register of John Le Romeyn, lord archbishop of York, 1286-1296 (Volume 2) online

elect, to J. (de Halton), bishop of Carhsle, informing him
that the king, on promise of a subsidy, had confirmed the
Great Charter and the Forest Charter, and that, owing to
the kingdom of England being exposed to great dangers,
especially in the northern parts, and that the king stood in
great need of money, the laity had granted a ninth. The
king wished the provinces of York and Canterbury to grant
a subsidy in common, but, to avoid trouble, it had been
decided that there should be a convocation of either province,
so the bishop was ordered to summon a meeting of the clergy
of his diocese, to choose two proctors who should go to
York on Friday, the eve of St. Andrew (Nov. 29), to treat
about this subject. {Records of the Northern Convocation
(Surt. Soc, cxiii), p. 18).

written to the vicar general of A(nthony Bek), bishop of
Durham, or his official.
