Can someone explain what this is about, please.
If the letter was from the King of France..... why should it go back to Scotland? What am I missing??

The letter, is known as The Safe Conduct, it was being carried by Wallace when he was seized in August 1305 in Robroyston near Glasgow. The letter was written by the King of France, it was meant to grant Wallace safe conduct to visit the Pope. The letter has been archived in London since Wallace was tried and executed

Basically means;

Philip by the grace of God, King of the French, to my beloved and trusting agents appointed to the court of Rome, greetings and Love. We command you to request the Supreme Pontiff to hold our beloved William Wallace of Scotland, Knight recommended to his favour in those matters of business that he has to dispatch with him
