Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Arnold (Arnaut) de Spelete (Espelette).
- Name(s)
- de Spelete (Espelette), Arnold (Arnaut)
- Addressees
- King and council.
- Places mentioned
- Gascony, [France]
- Bordeaux, [Guyenne, France]
- Agenais, [France].
- Nature of request
- Arnold de Spelete states that he has lost his land, worth £20 sterling annually, in the king's service in the war in Gascony, and asks to be assigned and allowed this sum on the customs of Bordeaux, until he has recovered his land, which is in the Agenais and which the French now hold.
- Nature of endorsement
- The king has understood that some compensation has been made in such a case, and will shortly send a suitable seneschal to those parts, and he will inform himself of the losses and damages given and received, and the damages inflicted, and the condition of the people, and will act in such a manner that everyone will reasonably consider himself satisfied.
-
Note (Additional information about the record)
- Several other petitions with similar endorsements date from the early years of the reign of Edward III, and this would be consistent with the mention of the war here. From the mention of the sending of a new seneschal, this petition would seem to date to either around February 1327 (before the appointment of John de Haustede) or to around June 1332 (before the appointment of Oliver de Ingham). The dating of SC 8/282/14093, SC 8/284/14151 and SC 8/284/14152, which have identical endorsements, suggests that the latter date is more likely.
