Description
Petitioners
Consuls of Castillonnes.
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
The consuls request that the two halves of the town be joined under the seneschalcy of Perigord, and that there be one bailiff to govern them. Before the peace the king held one half of the town under his seneschalcy of the Agenais, and the king of France a half under his seneschalcy of the Perigord, and each had a bailiff. By the peace the king of France has granted his half to the king of England for a rent.
Nature of endorsement
The seneschal of the Agenais should have the keeping, but he is to be ordered, that while he maintains the ancient customs of both parts, it should be governed by one bailiff.
