Reference
SC 8/285/14201
Date
[? c. 1324-? c. 1350]
Description
Petitioners
William (Guilhem) de Caumont, Lord of Caumont, and Annesantz de Caumont, Lord of Tombeboeuf.
Name(s)
de Caumont, Lord of Caumont; de Caumont, Lord of Tombeboeuf, William (Guilhem); Annesantz
Addressees
King and council.
Places mentioned
Caumont, [Guyenne, France]
Agenais, [Guyenne, France]
Tonneby (Tombeboeuf), [Guyenne, France]
Nature of request
William, Lord of Caumont, and Annesantz, Lord of Tombeboeuf, state that certain sums are due to them for their wages and for horses they have lost since the start of the war until now. They ask that the Constable of Bordeaux might be ordered to pay them what they can show to be owed to them.
Nature of endorsement
The Constable of Bordeaux is to be ordered to account with them, and to pay them what he can find from the account to be due to them as soon as he properly can.
Note
Tentatively dated according to the hand and language. The war mentioned is probably the war of St-Sardos, (as would be suggested by the dates of other petitions with identical endorsements, like SC 8/285/14206 and SC 8/285/14337), but this petition may be from the early years of the hundred years' war. The instructions to pay the petitioners on m.4 of C 61/41 are dated 18 August 1329. Check C 61/36 m.16.
