Reference
SC 8/288/14362
Date
[1327-1330]
Description
Petitioners
Bonet de Sulir (Soler) of Bordeaux.
Name(s)
de Sulir (Soler), Bonet
Addressees
[Isabella of France], Queen of England.
Nature of request
Bonet de Sulir states that he has always served the king and his people, and still wishes to be of service, and that, during the war in Gascony he was ordered by Oliver de Ingham, then Seneschal of Gascony, to go with him, with eight mounted men-at-arms and forty foot sergeants to succour and provision the castle of Saintes. In doing this, he and his men were captured, and some killed, by the King of France's men. They lost their horses and armour, and Bonet was imprisoned in the Chastelet de Paris, and his esquires and sergeants in the castle of Lusignan in Poitou, where they remained for forty-eight weeks, to their great cost and harm. He requests compensation for himself and his men, for their imprisonment and loss of horses and armour.
Nature of endorsement
Because Oliver has attested that the claim of the said Bonet contains the truth, it seems to the council that the king ought to have such regard for his service and his losses that he might reasonably boast of.
