Videatur a tergo

Ceterum ex parte domini comitis de Carric pro domina sorore sua, domina de Yle, fuit in pleno parlemento conquestum quod dicte sue sorori illate fuerant graves injurie et multa dampna ac gravamina injuste et extra formam juris per suos filios eorumque homines et adherentes, unde decretum est per parlementum et ordinatum quod dominus comes de Fyfe custos regni de se tenetur et debet auctoritate regis et virtute sui officii de recto et remedio juris et justicie secundum qua delicta exigent eidem domine providere. Et hoc fiat expedientius quo fieri poterit, ne pro defectu justicie amplius causam habeat querelandi.
