Note (Additional information about the record)
- According to M. Vale, The Angevin Legacy and the Hundred Years War (Oxford, 1990), p.116, the petitioner was given permission to rebuild his castle in 1331, so this petition would seem to date from 1331 or shortly before. C 47/26/19 dates from the early years of Edward III, and is a detailed account of the petitioner's losses, which does not, however, mention the destruction of this castle. CPR 1327-30 p.491 is dated 28 February 1330, and may be relevant. The instructions to the Seneschal to inquire into whether the petitioner should be given Libourne and Puymirol in part payment of his debts on m.1 of C 61/45 are dated 10 January 7 Edward II (1334). Check no.7147 of C 81/207.
