When this was reported to the Mayor of Bordeaux, he took her into his hand, but has not returned her to her husband. The couple ask for letters to the Seneschal of Gascony and the Mayor of Bordeaux to allow Benefacta to return to her husband, and to return her to possession of her paternal home and her possessions there, and keep her safe in possession of them; and to provide such a punishment for Peter and his accomplices that it may be an example in future.
