Geoffrey Turbok of Lynn; Walter de Gosewyk, burgess of Berwick.
Name(s)
Turbok; de Gosewyk, Geoffrey; Walter
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Geoffrey Turbok of Lynn states that John Pederogh of Calais, formerly Admiral of the King of France acknowledged before the appointed auditors at Montreuil three weeks after Easter in the King's thirty-fourth year that he had seized a ship of Geoffrey's at sea with force and arms during the truce, and that the goods in it were seized for the profit of the King of France by the ministers deputed for this at Calais, and that he was given a day at the house of the Friars Preachers in Paris at the quinzaine of St Remy following; but that on that day the auditors appointed by the King of France were absent. He requests compensation for his losses according to law merchant.Walter de Gosewyk, burgess of Berwick, who was robbed on the same day and at the same place as Geoffrey, likewise requests a remedy.
Nature of endorsement
This petition and all similar petitions are to be kept until the council is fully present, towards the end of the parliament, and a sure remedy is to be ordained.This is to wait for the coming of John de Bauquelle, who says that the petitioners cannot be helped in this case.
Places mentioned
Calais, [France]
Moustroil (Montreuil), [Picardy, France]
Paris, [France].
People mentioned
John Pederogh of Calais, formerly Admiral of the King of France
[Philip IV], King of France
John de Bauquelle
Robert de Borghersh (Burghersh)
[Roger] Savage
Philip Martel
[Eleanor of Castile], Queen of England.
Note
This petition was clearly presented in parliament, from the endorsement, and from the mention of three weeks after Easter 34 Edward I (1306), and the quinzaine of the following feast of St Remy (Remigius, 1 October 1306 or 13 January 1307), this would seem to be the parliament of January 1307.
