14 May 1370. Westminster. For Arnaut and Pey de Montlaryn.

Order to the judges of Aquitaine, that they enquire into the complaints of Arnaut and Pey de Montlaryn, and do justice according to the laws and customs of the areas concerned. The king had previously sent information to the abbot of Grande-Sauve La Sewa in the diocese of Bordeaux Bordaloys, the abbot of Saint-Maixent-l'École St Maxentius in the diocese of Poitiers Poytou, and to Pey de Caseton, lord of Gourdon Gordon and Guilhem de Seriz, knights and officials of Bordeaux, concerning certain grievances, wrongs and damages which Pey de Montlaryn, now deceased, and Arnaut de Montlaryn, brothers, burgesses of Bordeaux and next heirs of Arnaut de Camparian and Anne [de Camparian], his daughter, had brought against the people and officials of the prince of Aquitaine, concerning certain goods, possessions and inheritances which ought to belong to them by right, but which have been seized by the prince’s people and officers. The brothers appealed the matter to the king’s court, but meanwhile other appeals were brought against them, prejudicial to their case, as outlined in earlier letters patent. By virtue of these, Pey de Caseton and Guilhem de Seriz proceeded with the case, and took certain testimonies for each side. However, the people and officers of Bordeaux, seeking to delay the case, appealed to the king, for which reason Pey and Guilhem did not wish to proceed with the matter. While the case has been pending, Pey de Montlaryn has died, his son Pey being his next heir, and Pey the son and Arnaut have complained that various further attempts have been made against their case since the death of Pey the father, and have asked that all the matters relating to the case be summoned before the judges. The judges are therefore to examine the original issue, and the alleged attempts to delay judgment in this case. Order also to all the king’s subjects, and to the prince’s serjeants and officers, that they be intendant upon the judges in all issues relating to this matter. 1

1 July 1370. Westminster. Concerning the power granted to the duke of Lancaster in Aquitaine.

Grant to John, duke of Lancaster, that, for the comfort and support of Edward, prince of Aquitaine and Wales, and the inhabitants, he should admit and receive to the king's peace, obedience and grace those citizens of Aquitaine and other parts of the kingdom of France who had left the obedience of the king and prince, whether they had left through the persuasion of the king's enemies or of their own will, and who now wish to return to the prince's obedience, pardoning their crimes, even the most serious, and restoring their privileges. While it is sometimes right to punish such actions by the exercise of royal authority, it is sometimes right to temper such actions with leniency. The duke is to be able to enoble those who are not noble according to the knowledge of their abilities and merits, giving safe-conducts with the king's standards or pennons; he is to do and exercise all things with the agreement of the prince when he is present or absent, doing what the king would do if the king was personally present. 1

Letters of protection to Arnaut [de Montlaryn] and Pey [de Montlaryn], son of Pey de Montlaryn Montelarino, citizens of Bordeaux Burdegalen', who are pursuing their rights in the king's courts in England and Aquitaine. Fearing threats of damage to their persons and goods made by certain people, Arnaut and Pey have petitioned the king for his protection, and thus, wishing to preserve them from undue oppression, the king has taken them, their goods and rightful possessions into his safe keeping. He therefore orders the officers to defend Arnaut and Pey, their family and goods from violence and undue grievance, and to maintain them in their rightful possessions. If anything should come to their attention in prejudice of this protection, the officers should return things to their due condition, and in order that no one may excuse themselves by ignorance of this protection, they should ensure that it is announced publicly in places within their respective districts, forbidding anyone from inflicting any injury, molestation, damage or grievance, under pain of grievous penalties. Also, when requested, the officials are to place the king's pensells on the places and goods of Arnaut and Pey, as a sign of the king's protection. 1
