Grant during pleasure to Guilhem-Amaniu[II] de CastillonCastelyon, king's valet,² for his good service to Edward [II], the king's father, and for his future service, of the sum of 20l.st. or its value in other money, to be taken annually by the king's gift from the constable of Bordeaux from the issues of the prévôté of Entre-deux-Mers Inter duo Maria.³

By p.s.

1.: A marginal note states that the entry was 'Vacated because it was restored on 18 June 1329 and Guilhem[-Amaniu de Castillon] had the baylie of Blagnadais Blaniades in compensation for the 20l.'. This entry and the following one are crossed out.
2.: Guilhem-Amaniu II de Castillon was co-lord of [St-Jean-de-]Blaignac, and was the second son of Guilhem-Amaniu I de Castillon and Martha de Montaut, heiress of the lordship of Mussidan. Their first son, Ramon I de Montaut, lord of Mussidan, gave up his title to Castillon. See Duclot, J., 'Note sur la famille de Montaut, seigneurs de Blaignac aux XIIIe et XIVe siècles, Mémoires des Pays de Branne en Entre-deux-Mers 6 (Bordeaux, 1999), p.41-2.
3.: This entry and the following one have been crossed out. In TNA, SC 8/242/12072, Guilhem-Amaniu II asserted that the 20l.st. granted to him in the prévôté of Entre-deux-Mers had been granted by Edward II and confirmed by Edward III. This latter gave him letters to have compensation for his losses during the war of Gascony [1294-1303] from the seneschal of Gascony. He had petitioned Edward III when this latter was at Norwich to grant to him and his heirs in liege homage the prévôté of Blagnadais with its appurtenances which was worth 12l. a year, in exchange for which Castillon would give up the annuity and compensations for his losses. The petition was answered by the king's council, in the presence of the king, that 'It was owed and it should be granted to him. Castillon should come to the Parliament of Salisbury[October 1328] to receive letters of the said grant'. But the council did nothing, so that Castillon requested in the petition to have the decision of the king's council executed.

16

Same as above. ¹

And it is ordered to the constable of Bordeaux or his lieutenant to pay 20l.st., or their value in other money, to Guilhem-Amaniu [II de Castillon] from the issues of the prévôté of [Entre-deux-Mers], for which the constable will receive due allowance in his account.

By the same writ.

1.: This entry and the preceding one are crossed out.

17

Same as above.

Order to the constable of Bordeaux that having more fully informed himself, if he is able to find that Huc de Gavaudun Gavaudoun lost his horse in the service of E[dward II], the king's father, then he should cause Gavaudun to be paid the true value of the horse from the issues of the duchy, not withstanding that neither the constable nor the marshal had valued the horse. Gavaudun has shown the king that the king's father ordered the constable to satisfy Gavaudun for the true value of a horse lost in the late king's service during the disturbances in the duchy, from the issues of the duchy, but the constable had deferred the payment of the same because the constable had not valued the horse himself. The constable is to have due allowance of the same in his account.¹

By p.s.

1.: In 1326, Huc de Gavaudun was attorney of Bérart d'Albret in England (CCR 1323-7, p.555) and in the petition in TNA, SC 8/201/10023 (Reply in C 61/45, m.2, 3 August 1331), Bérart d'Albret (see next entry) intervened in favour of Huc de Gavaudun in order that the latter obtained the seneschalcy of the Landes. The fact that the entry for Huc de Gavaudun precedes the one of Bérart d'Albret probably indicates that their requests were possibly made as petitions on the same sheet.

13 February. Westminster.

Letters of protection and safe-conduct until 31 May next, for Bérart d'Albret de la Brette ¹, his men and servants and their goods, in going to and returning from Gascony, since the king has ordered him to go to the duchy, in his service, with various of his men and his equipment. It is ordered that no trouble, damage, impediment or other harm be permitted to be done to Albret, his men and servants and their goods.

By K.

1.: The scribe has termed Bérart, Bernat in error. Bérart (+ 1346) was the last son of Amaniu VII, lord of Albret, (+ 1326). In 1324, he seized, contrary to the wishes of his father's will, the lordships of Vayres and Marcamps , the inheritance of his mother Rosa de Bourg, and the lordship of Gironde, the inheritance of his wife Guirauda de Gironde, and he took the side of Edward II during the War of Saint-Sardos (1324-5), while his father took the side of the king of France. See Marquette, J.-B., 'Les Albret, III, Le rôle politique (1240-1360)', Les Cahiers du Bazadais, 41 (1978), p.459-60 and 463-6.

19: 11 February. Westminster.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux that having called the members of the king's council of those parts who ought to be called, and having diligently obtained information from those members, if they are able to find that the baylie of paderie ( pederium) of Médoc Maddok' is within the bounds of Bordeaux Burdeg', and should be under the jurisdiction of the office of sergeant with all executions of the king's seal and counter-seal of contracts in Bordeaux, which the king's father granted to Pey Descors Descorce for his good service, which grant the king accepts, and the same was withdrawn from Descors or his deputy to his prejudice, then it should be restored to Descors or his deputy without delay, and Descors or his deputy should not be troubled in the same. The king's father granted the office to Descors by his letters patent of 12 January 1316 during pleasure, having it with the issues, emoluments and all other things that pertain to the office. The late king subsequently granted that Descors should hold the office for life, and exercise the office by a deputy. The late king was then given to understand that in parts of Médoc Maddok', the office of paderie of Médoc which is in the bounds of Bordeaux ought to be under the jurisdiction of Descors or his deputy by virtue of the grant of 12 January, and the late king ordered the seneschal and constable to call the king's council of those parts and obtain information on the matter, and restore the paderie to Descors or his deputy if it is found that it has been withdrawn. Descors has complained that this was not done and requested remedy.

Order to the constable of Bordeaux that having viewed the letters of the king's father and grandfather, and scrutinised the memoranda, if he is able to find that the 114l. 12s. 2d. st., or any part of the same has not been paid to Eblo de Lignan , father of Eblo, for his wages and those of his men from the time that they were in the king's grandfather's service during the truce between that king and the king of France, then he is to pay what is in arrears in sterling or in another currency to the same value to Eblo [de Lignan], son of Eblo de Lignan, or his attorney or proctor from the issues of the duchy, receiving from Lignan or his attorney or proctor the letters of the king's father and grandfather, and also Lignan's letters of acquittance for the same, and the constable will receive due allowance in his account.

Letters patent granting to the communities, inhabitants and merchants of Gascony all the issues of the customs of wool, hides and wool pelts in Southampton Suthampton', to have and hold the same until they have been fully satisfied for the debts owed to them from the time of the king's grandfather. The king further grants to the communities, inhabitants and merchants of Gascony, or their proctors or attorneys, or one of them should hold one half of the cocket of the seal of one of the collectors of the customs of Southampton in their hands until they are fully satisfied, and that one of their proctors should reside there at the costs and expenses of the king, at the rate of 6d. a day, until the debt is fully paid. Edward [I], the king's grandfather, on 28 April 1303,¹ for various debts which he owed to the communities and towns of Gascony, namely of Bourg Burgh, Blaye Bleyves, Saint-Sever Seint Sever, Sainte-Quitterie Seint Quiteryo, Bonnegarde Bone Garde, Labatut la Batud, Peyrehorade Peresforate, Pouillon Pulyon, Oeyre Huyre, Labouheyre Herbafavere, and the merchants of the same, and also the merchants of Bordeaux Burdeux who had lent the king money for his great business in the time of the Gascon war with the king of France, granted to the communities, inhabitants and merchants or their proctors or attorneys, by his letters patent that they should have payment from the issues of bishoprics, abbies and priories of the realm of England which pertain to the king and his heirs in times of vacancy, until they will have been fully satisified. And because the merchants received nothing from such vacancies during that king's life, Edward [II], the king's father, by his letters patent of 5 June 1308,² granted that the communities, inhabitants and merchants, or their proctors or attorneys should receive and have from 1 April then following, each year from the customs of Southampton 1,000m. until they had been fully satisfied for the debt; and afterwards, because Edward [II] had granted the same customs to Amerigo de Frescobaldi Fryscobaud' and his companions, merchants of the company of Frescobaldi Fryscobaud, holding the same until they had been satisfied for certain debts that the king owed them, he commanded that the issues of this custom be delivered to the merchants of the Frescobaldi. And afterwards, with the assent of the the merchants of the company, the king granted to the communities, inhabitants and merchants of Gascony, or their proctors or attorneys, that they should take half of the issues of the customs of the town of Southampton each year on 1 April until they had been fully satisified, and they received a total sum of 45l. 19s. from these. The king also granted to the communities, inhabitants and merchants of Gascony, or their proctors or attorneys, or one of them should hold one half of the cocket seal of one of the collectors of the customs of Southampton in their hands until they were fully satisfied, and that one proctor of them should reside there at the costs of the king at the rate of 6d. a day, until the debt was fully paid. And afterwards, Edward [II] assigned the customs of Southampton to his wife, the king's mother, Isabella [of France], queen of England, in part payment of a debt that was due, notwithstanding assignments already made on it, and in recompense assigned to the communities, inhabitants, and merchants of Gascony, the issues of the custom of wool, skins and wool pelts in Ipswich Gyppewyce to be taken by the hand of the sollectors of customs there until the communities and others should be fully satisfied of the arrears of their debts, or until the king satisified them or made another assignment, as is more fully clear by the late king's letters patent of 1 June 1318.³ And now Ramon-Arnaut de Montauzer Mount Anser, attorney of the communities, inhabitants and merchants of Gascony, by a petition presented before the king's council in this parliament, has requested, that since the customs of Ipswich are worth very little each year, and they have been delayed for a long time in the payment of the debt, that the king will assign them the customs of wool, skins and wool pelts of the town of Southampton until they have levied their debts; and because the king's council has adviced that out of justice and charity this request ought to be granted, and because the king's mother has attested the truth of the contents of the petition, the king wishes to grant it.⁴

Grant to Pey de Bazas Besaz proctor to certain men who were owed sums of money for their service in the army of E[dward I], the king's grandfather in Gascony, that he should take the 735l.st. owed to those men from the first money from the issues of the customs of wool, leather and wool pelts in the port of Kingston upon Hull Kyngeston' super Hull' from the king's collectors of customs there. E[dward I] owed the sum to the men for the arrears of their wages from the time that they served in his army in the duchy, as appears by various letters patent of that king.² E[dward II], the king's father, at Bazas' request for satisfaction of the arrears, ordered, by his writ, the then treasurer and chamberlain of the Dublin exchequer to pay Bazas in the name of the men from the issues of the customs of leather, wool and wool pelts in the ports of Dublin Dublon' and Drogheda Droghda in Ireland Hibn'. Bazas has now returned the writ for that payment, and requested that the king will order payment from the customs of wool, leather and wool pelts from Boston Sanctum Botulphum or Kingston upon Hull, and the king wishes to grant it in discharge of the souls of his grandfather and father.³

1.: A note in the margin states 'Vacated because it is in the Patent Rolls'.
2.: CPR 1301-7, p. 214 refers to Bazas as deputed on behalf of citizens of Bayonne to the custody of half of the coket seal in Newcastle upon Tyne possibly in this context.
3.: The entry is crossed out. For the entry on the patent roll for which this entry was crossed out, see CPR 1327-30, p. 14. Bazas' petition, TNA C 81/137/167, gives more details about this matter: when Bazas was receiver of the customs of Newcastle upon Tyne, Edward I ordered him to lend money to nobles in his service in Scotland up to the sum of 735l.st. , but these men did not have money to repay him, so they gave bonds to Bazas so that he could recover the money in the last year of Edward II's reign. Bazas received, during a parliament, the customs on the wool, leather and hides of Dublin and Drogheda, but he received no money because of the war of Edward Bruce in Ireland from 1315-8. Supported by Arnaut de Falguières, cardinal of Sabina (1310-7) and Cardinal Guilhem-Pey Godin (1312-36), Bazas' uncles (indicating that the petition must dates to the time of the Irish war, and no later than 1317), this latter requested to be paid from the customs of the wool of Boston and Newcastle upon Tyne or all of the customs of Cork. There was a previous petition of Bazas, TNA SC 8/33/1630, where he complained that he had not received the customs of wool, leather and wool pelts of Dublin and Drogheda granted to him at the parliament at Westminster because of the Scottish war. He requested to be paid from the new customs of Ireland and the customs on wool, leather and wool pelts of Waterford, and to have a sum paid in London by the treasurer of the wardrobe of the previous king for his expenses and damages.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux, or their lieutenants, that they are to assign the place of Livran Liverano with its appurtenances to the sons and heirs of Sants-Gassie Ferrand Ferrandi, now deceased, until they recover their castles, lands and rents, which their father lost. On the behalf of the sons and heirs, it has been requested that whereas Ferrand, because of his service to E[dward II], the king's father, and to Edmund [of Woodstock], earl of Kent, the late king's lieutenant in the duchy, Ferrand lost his castles, lands and all his rents, for which the earl, by his letters patent, assigned Ferrand the place of Livran which had been the comtesse of and vicomtesse of Lomagne Leomanu' ¹ in recompense for the losses, and that the king will wish to assign the same place to the sons and heirs until they recover their losses.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux that having obtained the advice of those of the king's council there whom they consider ought to be summoned, they should work hard to continue the negociation and discussions with the nobles of Aragon Arragon', so that they are not broken off, and before they are broken off, the seneschal and constable are to pay an appropriate sum of money so that if there happens to be a war, they are able to obtain the aid and friendship. The king has been given to understand that certain negociations and discussions were held between the king's men of the duchy and certain nobles of Aragon, which the king does not wish to be broken off until there is a certainty of peace with the king of France.

43: 27 February. Westminster.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux, that having obtained the advice of those of the king's council there whom they consider ought to be summoned, they are to give such orders that the king's men will be reasonably contented, but in such a manner that the ancient wages are in no way increased without the king's special order; and concerning horses from henceforth lost in the king's service they are to do as was accustomed to be done. The king has been given to understand that the wages of the king's men in the duchy, are so diminished by the deterioration in the value of the money there, so that many are on the point of withdrawing from the king's service unless this situation is improved.

44: 24 February Westminster

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux, or their lieutenants, to commit to Ramon Séguin Seguyn' all that land in Bordelais Burdegal' which belonged to Andreu de Budos Busos ¹ and Bernat de Budos Busos, and which was granted to Séguin by Edmund [of Woodstock], earl of Kent, when he was E[dward II], the king's father's lieutenant in the duchy, holding the same during pleasure. Séguin has shown, by his petition exhibited before the king and his council, that he was granted the land of Andreu and Bernat de Budos, formerly enemies of the king's father, which had forfeited into the king's hand, in compensation for the lands and tenements, goods and chattels which he had in the town of La Réole Regula, and which were occupied by the men of the king of France. Subsequently this land was resumed into the king's hands by Oliver de Ingham, then seneschal of Gascony, when Séguin was in France in the earl of Kent's company, and the lands are still in the king's hands. Séguin requests a remedy, and the king, because of the losses sustained by Séguin, and also because of the laudable service that he has done to the king's father and for the king, wishes to express his favour and grace.²

By petition of C.

1.: It is probable that this is Andreu I de Budos, lord of Budos from 1323 to 1361. He had no known brother named Bernat, but had two named Bertran. See Elzière, J.-B., Histoire des Budos, seigneurs de Budos en Guyenne et de Portes-Bertrand en Languedoc (Portes, 1978), p.39-42 and 31, 33-35.
2.: For a related entry, see entry 51. For the petition that resulted in this order, see TNA, SC 8/74/3652. By this Séguin specifies that he followed the earl of Kent in France with Queen Isabella of France, and that the land was resumed as a consequence.

Grant to Pey-Bernat de Pinsolle Pynsole, serjeant-at-arms, that he should receive payment of the sum of 73l. 6s. 8d. st. due to him for wages and other expenses, from the issues of the prévôté of Bayonne Baion' by the hands of the prévôt there. Pinsolle, master of the ship called la Seint Edward of Minster-in-Thanet Monasterio was owed 157l. 13s. 3d. st., both for his wages, and those of his mariners who were in the service of E[dward II], the king's father in the islands of Guernsey Gernerey and Jersey Geresey and elsewhere on the coast, as well as for various necessities bought for the repair of the ship, as more fully appears in a certain bill under the seal of Robert de Woodhouse Wodehous, clerk, formerly keeper of the wardrobe of the late king, which is in the possession of the treasurer and the barons of the exchequer, of which 73l. 6s. 8d. st. remains unpaid, and of which Pinsolle has requested payment, which request the king wishes to grant.

By p.s.

49: Same as above.

And in the same way it is ordered to the prévôt of Bayonne Baion' to pay 73l. 6s. 8d. st. without delay to Pey[-Bernat de Pinsolle] from the issues of the prévôté [of Bayonne], the prévôt receiving from Pinsolle the king's letters patent which he has, and Pinsolle's letters of acquittance by which the king will make due allowance for the sum in the prévôt's account.

50: Same as above.

And it is ordered to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux, or their lieutenants, that the 73l. 6s. 8d. st. should be paid to Pey[-Bernat de Pinsolle] from the issues of the prévôté of Bayonne Baion' by the hands of the prévôt without impediment.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony, that having viewed the letters patent of the earl of Kent in favour of Ramon de Séguin Seguyn', and having more fully informed himself of the premises with those of the king's council of those parts, if he finds that the lands with their appurtenances that were formerly Andreu de Budos Busons and Bernat de Budos Busons in the Bordelais Burdeleys which were assigned to Séguin were resumed into the king's hand, then all the lands with their appurtenances, together with Séguin's goods and chattels, and the issues and emoluments of those lands from the time of their resumption, and which were not answered for to the king or his father, should be restored, holding the same according to the power and effect of the earl's letters patent. Séguin was assigned the land of Andreu and Bernat de Budos, who adhered to the French invaders by Edmund [of Woodstock], earl of Kent, the king's uncle, when he was E[dward II], the king's father's lieutenant in the duchy, in recompense of his lands with appurtenances which he had lost because he had served the king's father in the last war. But this land was resumed into the king's hand by Oliver de Ingham, then seneschal of Gascony for the king's father, together with Séguin's goods and chattels, because Séguin was in France with the earl of Kent in the company of Queen Isabella [of France]. Séguin has requested that the king will wish to indemnify him for the same, and the king wishes to show him favour.¹

The constable will receive due allowance in his account.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony that having heard the complaint of the vicomte of Benauges Benaugiarum and his wife, and having summoned those of the king's council of those parts who ought to be summoned, and the king's proctor (defensore nostro), he should do what by right and according to the fors and customs of those parts ought to be done. On the behalf of the vicomte and his wife a great complaint has been shown to the king, concerning a whale that beached on the coast in their territory and was delivered to them by their men as was customary in that territory;¹ but Oliver de Ingham, then seneschal of Gascony, by his own authority, took the whale to the manifest prejudice and disinheritance of the vicomte and his wife, for which a remedy is requested, and the king wishes to do what is just.

1.: It is very likely that this was at captalat de Buch, the area around the bassin d'Arcachon, since this was the family's only possession on the coast.

Amaniu [VII, lord of Albret], Bernat-Etz's father, had faithfully served E[dward I], late king of England, grandfather of the king, and had been well rewarded by him.

E[dward I] ordered his constable of Bordeaux to pay the sum, or its value in other money, to Brun, or his attorney or proctor bearing the letters of E[dward I] from the issues of the duchy,² and which the king. Brun has requested payment of the sum, and the king wishes that the order of his grandfather be executed.³

E[dward II], the king's father, by his letters,¹ ordered that the then constable of Bordeaux should pay the 142l. 9s. 4d. ch. which were the arrears of the 50l.ch. annuity that E[dward I], the king's grandfather, by his letters patent,² granted to Carrenx to be taken at his exchequer in England for his sustenance, until Carrenx's lands and tenements, which had been taken into the hands of the king of France because of the war between the king's grandfather and the king of France, were restored, just as appears by the account with Carrenx made by John de Sandale, then clerk of the king's father, by that king's order, which letters Carrenx restored into E[dward II]'s chancery to be cancelled; but because the issues of the duchy were in the hands of others by grant of the king's father, the constable did nothing. On the behalf of Carrenx, it has been requested that the king will wish to pay the debt, and the king wishes to grant the request.³

Order to the seneschal of Gascony that having deliberated with those of the king's council of those parts, and more fully informed himself on the matter of the exaction of a custom on wine paid at Royan, if he is able to find that what has been presented on the behalf of the mayor and jurats of the city of Bordeaux contains the truth, he is to do what he considers to be just and reasonable, and not permit merchants to be troubled by the renewed exaction of that custom [at Royan]. It has been shown to the king on the behalf of the mayor and jurats of the city of Bordeaux (Burdeg', ch.l. dép., 33) that it was customary to pay a custom at the town of Royan (Roiano, arr.

Item, for all manner of costs and expenses, damages, and all usurpations that the king of France or his subjects have sustained or incurred because of the above disturbances, the envoys and proctors of the king of England, although not guilty of these crimes, but for their great desire to have the king of France's (his lord and uncle) grace and good will, and to affirm good relations between the two realms and their subjects, by the authority of the king of England vested in them, they oblige the king of England in 50,000m.st. to the king of France to be taken at his will, so that in case that he pleases the king of England to submit the things contained in this article, to the gracious will of the king of France, the obligation is to be void; saving to the subjects of both kings that they are able to return to their inheritances which have been occupied because of the above commotions and in the state that they were previously ; and also that neither the king of England nor his subjects claim anything from the king of France nor his subjects for the damages and harm resulting from the same commotions.

And the councillors and proctors of the king of France, by the authority and power of the king, give and release to the king of England and duke all the right that the king of France has by right of forfeiture in all the goods of the persons named above, both movable and immovable within the lordship of the duke, reserving to the king of France, the right of sovereignty.

And the councillors, proctors and envoys, and Guillaume [de Laudun], archbishop of Vienne and John de Grandisson (Grant Son), archdeacon of Nottingham in the church of York, envoys and ambassadors sent by the pope, have agreed the things above, and in case the king of England does not agree and ratify the treaty, and does not notify the king of France by Tuesday 21 April next, then all the covenants, quittances and remissions are to be null and void, or else in full force.

And also all the councillors, proctors and envoys of the kings, in their name, and for them agree that if the king of England confirms the treaty, then the king of France will confirm the same, and they will both issue good and suitable letters of the confirmations.

And after the making of the confirmations, it is agreed between the two kings that their realms and the duchy of Guienne, and their subjects, should reside in peace, and this is to be published and notified throughout the realms and duchy by the authority of the kings.

6 September. Nottingham (Notingham, Notts).

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux that having heard the complaint of Johan d'Ossignon (Dosynoun), merchant of Bazas (Bezats, arr. Langon, 33), or his attorney, and having called before them Master Guilhem Reynaud (Reynald),¹ and they are to do speedy justice on the restitution of d'Ossignon's goods and chattels, just as by right, and according to the fors and customs of those parts ought to be done. It has been alleged to the king by d'Ossignon, greatly complaining, that Reynaud took and carried off various goods and chattels of d'Ossignon to the value of 100l.st. at the town of Langon (Langoune, ch.l. arr., 33) against the will of d'Ossignon's and the person who had custody of them, while d'Ossignon was in the company of Thomas [of Brotherton], earl of Norfolk, marshal of England, and uncle of the king, and still detains them to the great prejudice and impoverishment of d'Ossignon, upon which he requests the provision of a remedy, and to which the king wishes justice to be done to him.²

1.: Son of Guilhem Reynaud, former citizen of Bordeaux.
2.: In TNA, SC 8/281/14000, the petition at the origin of this entry, Johan d'Ossignon specifies he remained in the service of the earl of Norfolk in England during the wars of Edward I and Edward II as was proven by the letters of this earl. His servants bought some wine and building timber worth 100l.st. or more and they kept it in the town of Langon. But John Travers, constable of Bordeaux [1324-6] came there and took these goods.

105: The great seal was changed at this time, just as appears in a memorandum endorsed in the close rolls.

10 October Nottingham

Order to the constable of Bordeaux that having viewed the various letters relating to the payment of 200l.t. to Ramon Séguin, and if he is able to find that it was not paid to Séguin, then he should make payment of it to him or his attorney from the issues of the duchy without delay; receiving from Séguin, or his attorney, both the original letters of Oliver de Ingham and his letters testimonial, and also Séguin's letters of acquittance. The constable will receive due allowance for the same in his account. Oliver de Ingham, late seneschal of Gascony granted to Séguin 200l.t. in compensation for the damages that he had sustained, but because Edmund [of Woodstock], earl of Kent, uncle of the king, granted to Séguin the land of [St-Médard d'] Eyrans (Ayran, arr. Bordeaux, 33) ¹ for lands and tenements that he lost in La Réole (Regula, arr. Langon, 33), this grant of 200l.t. has been withdrawn as appears by letters patent, which are contrary to the letters of Ingham, which letters are exhibited before the king in his chancery, of which sum Séguin asserts that he has not been paid. The king, at the request of the earl of Kent, wishes that satisfaction be made to Séguin according to the form of the letters.
