Nature of endorsement
Order the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux that, if this is true and the king has not assigned the lands to others, and is not to the damage of the king, that the assignment be made in due manner to last until the debt be paid, and that the constable shall take due acquittances each year for the sums levied of the bailiwicks.Not withstanding etc., for the merchants etc..

People mentioned
[Edward I], King of England
Menaud de Goudz (Gout), servant of the petitioner
Seneschal of Gascony
Constable of Bordeaux.
Note
The requested order was issued on 24 June 1308. This document appears to have been a supplementary petition from the count in support of his servant Menaud, who was acting as attorney for the king's creditors. The petition in all likelihood dates to 1308 as the Chancery warrant which was linked to SC 8/233/11648 does in fact seem to have enclosed this petition as the stitching is identical, and both C 81/60/219 and SC 8/182/9088 have the same stamps on the dorse.
