- Nature of request
- Arnold William de Bearn, lord of Lescun, asks the king to take council concerning his banishment, and to have consideration for the great damages he has sustained, continues to sustain, and will sustain while it pleases the king; and to order the present Constable of Bordeaux, or the person who will be Constable for the time being, to pay him what he can show is due to him for his wages, without delay, especially those which [were] ordained [during] his banishment, as he has not had a penny of them, but has lived in the realm of Aragon in great hardship.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The order to pay the petitioner on m. 4 of C 62/101 is dated 10 January 18 Edward II (1325): but it seems more likely that the wages referred to in the petition are for military service, especially endorsements are very similar to those of several other petitions in this file which seem to date to the beginning of the reign of Edward III. There are instructions to pay the wages of the petitioner and his brother on m.8 of C 61/40, dated 10 March 1328, and further instructions to pay the petitioner on m. 4 of C 61/41, dated 18 August 1329. The latter is perhaps more likely to be in response to the petition.
