Name(s)
Emerik (Aimeric), Burnet (Brunet)
Addressees
King and council.
Occupation
king's sergeant in the Duchy of Guyenne
Nature of request
Burnet Emerik states that held a ship from master Aubert, then Constable of Bordeaux, which the king had acquired in the war, which was freighted to come to England, and that when the ship reached Sandwich, it was ordained that he and it should return to Gascony in the company of John de Weston, Constable of Bordeaux; and when it reached Bordeaux, John de Weston sold it, without giving him any warrant for it. He asks that John de Weston might be ordered to give him a warrant, and that his account might be audited, and that he might be paid what is owed him, especially his wages from the day when he took the ship at the Seneschal's command until the day when the constable took the ship out of his hand.
Nature of endorsement
The Constable of Bordeaux is to be ordered to account with him, and to pay him what is found from the account to be due to him, as soon as he properly can.
Places mentioned

Sandwich, [Kent]
Gascony, [France]

People mentioned

Note
Aubert Mege was Constable of Bordeaux between March 1326 and May 1327, and John de Weston was Constable of Bordeaux between 1327 and January 1330. This petition is therefore datable to 1327-1330.
