28 January. Westminster. For Reynold de Bixley.
Order to the seneschal of Gascony, or his lieutenant, diligently to obtain information, with the king's council there, on the complaint of Reynold de Bixley Byskelee, kt, mayor of Bordeaux Burdeg', and if he finds by that, that it is true, then he is to compel the under-mayor, jurats and community of Bordeaux, by all ways and means, to admit Bixley to that office, according to the form of the letters of Henry [of Grosmont], earl of Lancaster, Derby and Leicester, steward of England, lieutenant and captain general in the duchy of Aquitaine and all the Languedoc Lingua Occitana, and the king's order, sent to them, and as they were accustomed to do. The earl of Lancaster, wishing to provide for Bixley, who was mayor, and who had incurred great costs in the king's service in the company of the earl in the war in Gascony, for the preservation of the king's rights, and with the assent and advice of Laurence de Hastings Hastynges, late earl of Pembroke, Walter de Mauney Manny, Ralph de Stafford, then seneschal of Gascony, and Bernat, lord of Albret Lebreto, and all the king's council there, granted to Bixley the office of mayor of Bordeaux, with everything that pertains to it, by his letters patent. Bixley was to hold the office for life, and gifts of the same made by the earl to the contrary notwithstanding; taking what others in that office have been accustomed to take, just as is more fully contained in the earl's letters. The king has confirmed the grant, as is more fully contained in his letters patent, and he ordered the under-mayor, jurats and community to obey and be intendant on him. Bixley has now complained that the under-mayor, jurats and community do not wish to admit him in contempt of the king and his order, to Bixley's great damage, and impoverishment.
For Henry, earl of Lancaster.
