Reference
SC 8/238/11884
Date
[1327-1332]
Description
Petitioners
Auger, Lord of Bats.
Name(s)
Lord of Bats, Auger
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Auger, Lord of Bats, states that Oliver de Hingham, formerly Seneschal of Gascony, promised him and five others, for their service to the King, that they would be made bannerets, and have all the franchises and honours granted to other bannerets of Gascony. This honour has been granted to the other five, but not to him. He therefore asks to be made a banneret, which will be to the King's advantage as he will then be bound to serve him with ten men at arms, rather than himself alone. He asks the King to order the Seneschal of Gascony to inform himself of this matter, and to give him this grace if it is found not to be to the King's prejudice.
Nature of endorsement
The Seneschal and Constable of Gascony are to be ordered to inform the King without delay if it is to the King's prejudice or harm if he grants the supplication.
Places mentioned
Bats, [Gascony, France]
Gascony, [France]
Nottingham, [Nottinghamshire].
People mentioned
Oliver de Hingham (Ingham), Seneschal of Gascony.
Note
Dated on the guard to 8 Edward III (25 January 1334-24 January 1335), but, as Oliver de Ingham was Seneschal of Gascony between March 1326 and February 1327, and between June 1332 and July 1343, and this petition says that 'jadis monsire Olyver de Hingham estoit Seneschal en Gascoigne', it would seem to date from 1327-1332. It can probably be more closely dated to 1330-1332 - the council at Nottingham mentioned here was probably the one held in October 1330.
