An article from the English Historical Review presenting Chancery writs of 18 May 1322 that summoned the greater wool merchants of each English county to appear before Edward II and his council at York. Davies discusses the background of the wool staple question (ordinance of 1313, assemblies of 1318-1320, later ordinance of 1326) and analyzes the sheriffs' returns, which show where wool merchants were found across England. The Latin returns, with lists of merchants' names by county, are printed in full. The scan ends with the start of an unrelated note on books brought from Spain in 1596.
