  Event	1314	Perth, Scotland. Great Britain   [1]
  There was a similarly unsatisfactory judicial conclusion to another case of alleged Wendish piracy which benefited the Scots in 1314. Then, Adam le Clerk complained that Heinrich Recklinghausen, Hernald Clasts Hernald de Fevere, Peter de'Fevere, Wilhelm Timberman, Hernald Treep and others from Lübeck, Stralsund and Greifswald had attacked his ship, which was sailing from Nantes to English-held Perth. The ship was captured between Great Yarmouth and Blakeney and taken to Aberdeen, where its contents were sold. The case was of particular interest to the English crown because le Clerk had been, and was again to be, commissioned by the crown to supply the English forces in Scotland. An official inquiry into the matter reported in May 1318 that Edward II's letters of complaint to the three Wendish towns, delivered by Adam's attorney, had been 'treated with contempt and left unopened'. On 24 June the king, therefore, ordered the sheriffs of London, Yorkshire and Norfolk and Suffolk to seize goods belonging to merchants from the Wendish towns.
