Nature of request
Bernard de Rioun states that the king has given him the office of scrivener throughout the Seneschalcy of Gascony, for term of life, but that he has recently appointed Raymond Faukoner as scrivener of the auditoire of Bordeaux, an office which is part of that granted to him.

And if this does not please the king and council, that he might have a special letter granting him this particular scrivenership.
Nature of endorsement
The king does not intend that anything that pertains to the office that the king has given him by his letter should be removed.To be entered.

People mentioned
Raymond (Ramon) Faukoner (Fauconer, Falconer), scrivener of the auditoire of Bordeaux.
Note
A note at the beginning of this file, signed R. L. Atkinson and dated 9 March 1932, states, 'Nos 14511-50 and 14551-80 in the next file appear to form an original file, or at any rate a conjunction of some duration. Such as can be dated appear to belong to the year 1305, or thereabouts, so the remainder may provisionally be regarded as belonging to this date'. This petition has therefore given a provisional date of 1305.
