Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Arnaud de Luke and William Arnaud de Portan, merchants of Gascony.
- Name(s)
- de Luke; de Portan, Arnaud; William Arnaud
- Addressees
- King and Council.
- Occupation
- merchants of Gascony
- Nature of request
- The petitioners state that they loaded a ship with wine in Bordeaux, bound for Hull, but the ship was attacked in the Humber off Ravenser by men of Newcastle, and the ship and goods were stolen. They brought an assize of oyer and terminer before Doncastre and Hopton, by which Brettevill, Musgrave and others were outlawed, but the king has since granted them pardon of this outlawry. The petitioners thus have no means of recovering their ship and cargo, and request remedy.
- Nature of endorsement
- [on face] A transcript of the charter of outlawry is attached to this bill.[on dorse, partially illegible] The king's charter does not take away their suit for the trespass or prevent them from obtaining justice on this if they sue. And because John de Doncastre has recorded that the process was had before the court, all those named were guilty of trespass, and the merchants are to have writs to bring the records before the king, who will do right.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- A response to a petition from these merchants regarding this attack is enrolled on the record of the York parliament of Michaelmas 1318. This is clearly the same attack, and although the text given there differs slightly from that given on the dorse of this petition, it is evidently this petition.
