Full description and record details

Reference
SC 8/254/12693
Date
[? c. 1413]
Description
Petitioners
William Bonet (Bonnet) of Harfleur; William Guillas of Harfleur.
Name(s)
Bonet (Bonnet); Guillas, William; William
Addressees
King.
Places mentioned
Harfleur, [Normandy, France].
Nature of request
Bonet and Guillas request a grant of safe-conduct for a ship and merchandise to endure for a year according to the form of a schedule [formerly] attached to this petition.
Nature of endorsement
[On face:]This was granted by the king according to the form of letters patent.[On dorse, none].
Note
Dated on the guard to c. 1413, with reference that it is probably later than SC 8/250/12474, a complaint from the petitioner that his ship had been attacked by people from Dartmouth. However, it is presumably possible that this may be the safe conduct broken in that attack, and hence dates from earlier than 1413.
