King.

Occupation

Constable of Bordeaux

Nature of request

Richard de Haveryng states that when he was Constable of Bordeaux in the time of the king's grandfather, he made various payments in part payment of several debts owed by the king, for wages and compensation for lost horses in the time of the war in Gascony, for gifts for good service during the same war, and for loans made for provisions, by view and testimony of the king's Comptroller, and by acquittances attesting these payments. The Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer will not allow him these sums in his account for the Duchy of Guyenne, as he cannot show the warrants to make these payments, which remain with those who have not fully been paid. He asks that the Treasurer and Barons be ordered to allow him these sums in his account according to the testimony of the Comptroller and the acquittances, charging those who reasonably ought to be charged.

Nature of endorsement

It seems to the council that it is to be done if it pleases the Chancellor.
