Translated letter:

Mandate to E. queen of England, and R. earl of Cornwall, to remove Anketil Malore from the service of M. the king's daughter, queen of Scotland, as the king wills that he no longer remain in her service; and to appoint another in his room.

When he left to deal with a rebellion in Gascony, Henry left the government of England in the hands of Eleanor, with the counsel of his brother, Richard of Cornwall.

Scholarly notes:

(1)After the first two volumes of the Patent Rolls published in Latin, the editors shifted to English translations, explaining that the "language tends gradually to become more formal and verbose."
