Consuls of Montreal.

King.
Nature of request
The consuls of Montreal state that on the Saturday before the feast of St Valentine in the year 1317 [12 February 1318] the people of the Count of Armagnac and Fezensac and of the Vicomte of Brulhois and Fezensaguet and of his brother/colleague (confrater) attacked them with forbidden arms, killing certain people, whom they name, and robbing them of goods and livestock, which they carried off to Castelnau-d'Auzan. They have thus broken several laws, which they list, but no punishment has as yet taken place, although the king's officials of the Duchy of Aquitaine have often been asked. They request a suitable remedy, which will punish the malefactors, and provide them with damages and compensation.
