Reference
SC 8/286/14271

Description
Petitioners
Arnold (Arnaut) de Seint Martin (St Martin), merchant of Bayonne.
Name(s)
de Seint Martin (St Martin), Arnold (Arnaut)
Addressees
King.
Occupation
merchant of Bayonne
Nature of request
Arnold de Seint Martin petitions on behalf of himself and of other merchants of Bayonne who have made a suit against William de Saut for the king, that an ordinance was made at Canterbury on 15 July in the king's twenty-first year [1293], between the king and his good people of Bayonne on the one hand, and the King of Spain and his good people on the other, so that the King of Spain would restore to the people of Bayonne their boats and goods wrongly taken by the people of Spain. They therefore sent people to St-Jean-de-Luz and to Fuenterrabia to receive these goods, but no-one came from the King of Spain, leaving them with losses amounting to 3457 marks, 6s. 8d. They sued to the king and had a writ of arrest against the goods of the Spanish, and seized goods worth £166, and have often sued since to have sufficient arrest of Spanish goods, but, because of the war with France, they have been delayed. They ask that they might have a writ to arrest Spanish goods in England until they have made good their losses, as the king has often promised them at Roxburgh and elsewhere.
Nature of endorsement
Show the grant of marque that you have for the town of Bayonne, and the king will have good counsel.

Note
Tentatively dated with reference to SC 8/289/14421, which it greatly resembles, and which dates from 1307. It might be the petition presented to the London parliament (of 1306?) mentioned there. It must in any case date from after the war of 1294-1298.
