Reference
SC 8/15/742
Date
[1314-1315]
Description
Petitioners
Aymer Pauncefot (Pauncefoot), brother and heir of Grimbald Pauncefoot.
Name(s)
Pauncefot (Pauncefoot), Aymer
Addressees
King and council
Nature of request
Pauncefot shows that his brother when he was constable of the castle of St Briavels was ordered by a writ of the king to take 500 quarrels as far as Rhuddlan, and by another writ to provision 100 men of the garrison at Whitchurch the sums for which he still had not received allowance for in his life. Pauncefot sued a writ de allocate in the time of Edward II, by which the king ordered the treasurer and barons that they were to make due allowance, but they will not do so because the writs of command to Grimbald are lost. Pauncefot requests that the treasurer and barons be ordered, notwithstanding the loss of the writs, to make due allowance for the costs.
Nature of endorsement
He is to go to Chancery and if it is found that he had such writs of allocate as the petition alleges, then similar ones are to be made.
Places mentioned
St Briavels, [Gloucestershire]
Rothelan (Rhuddlan), [Flintshire, Wales]
Whitchurch, [Glamorgan, Wales]
People mentioned
Grimbald Pauncefot (Pauncefoot), Constable of the castle of St Briavels, brother of the petitioner
Edward II, King of England.
Note
The petition was answer by three lengthy writs to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer on 24 January 1315. It seems unlikely that Aymer had petitioned only shortly before this, so it is more likely that the petition dates to the previous year hence the date of 1314-15.
