Reference
SC 8/217/10840
Date
[c. 1404]
Description
Petitioners
Richard Garner, merchant of Piedmont.
Name(s)
Garner, Richard
Addressees
King and Council.
Occupation
merchant of Piedmont
Nature of request
[The right end of this petition is damaged and incomplete.]Richard Garner, merchant of Piedmont staying in London, requests orders to the king's sergeant-at-arms in Bayonne to investigate an attack upon his ship by Navailles and his ship in October [1403] and the theft of his merchandise. He also requests orders to the officials of Bayonne to assist him.
Nature of endorsement
[on face] This bill was granted by the king and given to the chancellor [...].
Places mentioned
Pemound (Piedmont), [Italy]
London
Lusshbon (Lisbon), [Portugal]
Bayonne, [Gascony, France]
Guyenne, [France].
People mentioned
Mark Markadillo, attorney of the petitioner
Laurence de Saceben, ship's master
Renanton de Navailles, ship's master
Bedot de St John, merchant
William Peter de Cassaux, sergeant-at-arms in Guyenne
mayor, echevins, jurats and council of Bayonne.
Note
The attack is said to have taken place in October 1403, and the details appear in a commission of April 1406 (addressed to a different sergeant to that requested, and dating the attack to January 1404). This would suggest that this petition dates to some point between those dates. However, the handwriting and damage strongly resemble other petitions in this file datable to 1404, particularly SC 8/217/10841, another petition from this petitioner regarding a different attack.
