2 .   TNA - CCR 1327-30, p.214
Summary: Memorandum that in the archbishop's palace in York, where Queen Isabella was lodged, before Archbishop Melton, Bishop Hotham, chancellor, Bishop Burghersh, treasurer, and Scrope, Langeton and Sexdecim Vallibus asked whether Melton would cause his place called 'the old bailey' to be defended against the Scots, as they defend the city, but Melton said that the bailey is within the city, and part of it, and thus it was the city's responsibility. He only arranged its defence on one occasion, during time of great peril, on the condition that it was no precedent, as shown in a document. The officials agreed with the document, but said that place was not part of the city, and the fortifications were the archbishop's to defend. Melton agreed to garrison it on this occasion, while the queen and her children were present, on condition that the city assist should the Scots attack, and that this is not taken as precedent. This was agreed.
