Date
[c. 1311]
Description
Petitioners
Heirs of Arnaud Guilhem of Marcusse.
Addressees
King and Council.
Nature of request
The small children and heirs of Guilhem state that their late father had been in prison as a hostage for the king, for which he had been granted compensation of £200 by letters to the Constable of Bordeaux. This had not been paid, and the heirs therefore now ask the king to honour the grant.
Nature of endorsement
Make satisfaction to them and others in the same condition.
Places mentioned
Markees (Marcusse), [Guyenne, France]
Bordeaux, [Guyenne, France].
People mentioned
Arnaud Guilliam (Guilhem) of Marcusse
Constable of Bordeaux.
Note
Dated on the guard to c. 1311. The grant mentioned in the petition was made on 4 April 1305 (Roles Gascons, vol. III, no.4934), and the petition clearly dates from the next reign. However, no direct justification for 1311 can be found.
Held by
The National Archives, Kew
