2 Pomeroy's went to Field of Cloth of Gold, 1520, 1521 and 1527

Calais was a Staple Port, "a place to which, by the King's authority and privilege, wool, hides of beasts, wine, corn or grain, and other exotic or foreign merchandize are transferred, carried or conveyed to be sold." At Calais in this period, Merchants of the Staple were required to submit their goods to inspection. In England they were obliged to pay a levy to the Crown on goods for export to the continent of Europe. The system made it easy for local and regional governments to monitor the overseas trade and to levy taxes and derive income and revenue on it.
