Reference
SC 8/150/7484
Date
[? c. 1305]
Description
Petitioners
W. Gau.
Name(s)
Gau, W.
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
W. Gau states that he bought a vineyard from his kinsman, P. Gau, but that Ayquem de Bourc took it into the King's hand, claiming that it had been deforced from him. He claims that the King is deceived, and asks that he might have his vineyard back.
Nature of endorsement
The Seneschal is to be ordered to take the vineyard into the King's hand and to inquire if it was usurped against the King, and if he finds that it was usurped he is to punish whoever did it, and if not, he is to have it given to him.
Places mentioned
[Gascony, France].
People mentioned
P. Gau, kinsman of petitioner
Ayquem de Bourc.
Note
Dated on the guard to '? c. 1305' with reference to SC 8/96/4777 seq. There seems to be little basis for this dating, other than the way the endorsement is written lengthwise rather than crosswise, but it seems reasonable on the basis of the hand.
