SC 8/282/14051
Date
[? 1327-? 1332]
Description
Petitioners
Bernard (Bernat) de Causaco, clerk.
Name(s)
de Causaco, Bernard (Bernat)
Addressees
King.
Places mentioned
Gascony, [France]
Bordeaux, [Guyenne, France]
Blanquefort, [Guyenne, France]
Monflanquin, [Guyenne, France]
Marmande, [Guyenne, France]
Duchy [of Aquitaine, France].
Nature of request
Bernard de Causaco requests the scrivenership of Blanquefort, of the bailiwick of Monflanquin, or of Marmande, in recompense for his service in the court of the castle of Bordeaux.
Nature of endorsement
The king does not know who holds these scrivernerships at present, or how they came there, because of which the king is not advised that he should be removed before he is apprised of his behaviour and how he holds them; and concerning this he will send a suitable seneschal to the Duchy who will ordain for bailiwicks and offices as he sees is best for the advantage of the king and his people.
Note
From the hand and language, this petition would seem to date from the beginning of the reign of Edward III, and from the mention of the sending of a new seneschal, to either around February 1327 (before the appointment of John de Haustede) or to around June 1332 (before the appointment of Oliver de Ingham).
