October 1576



29 Oct.	451. The King to Antonio De Guaras. Master Miguel de Yerobi of Renteria in Guipuzcoa has stated to us that in the year 1568 he was on his way from Spain to the Netherlands in a ship belonging to Nicolas de Zabalaga, and they were obliged by contrary winds to take refuge in the port of Plymouth, where, after having supplied themselves with necessaries, they were about to sail when they were ordered by a warrant from my ambassador then in that country not to leave without further orders from him, and whilst they were waiting the ship and cargo were embargoed by the Queen ; Yerobi himself owning, as he says, property in her to the amount of twelve hundred ducats. As in similar cases so much favour has been shown here to British subjects, it is only right that the Queen should reciprocate by doing the same for my vassals, and you will address her upon the subject and beg her to afford redress to this petitioner for the loss he has suffered, and you will also speak to the ministers about it if you consider necessary.—El Pardo, 29th October 1576.
