Reference
SC 8/291/14532
Date
[? 1305]
Description
Petitioners
Peter (Pey) Veguier (Viguier) of la Rousselle, citizen of Bordeaux.
Name(s)
Veguier (Viguier), Peter (Pey)
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
Peter Veguier of la Rousselle, citizen of Bordeaux, states that, when he came to the king and stayed at his court, John de Hasting, Seneschal of Gascony, disseised him of the questable men [men subject to the tax of 'quete'] he had at Hastingnan, and delivered them to Elias de Coupena, without summoning him. He asks that he might be returned to the possession and seisin that he had when he left the country to come to England, as he is fully prepared to stand to right on the matter.
Nature of endorsement
The Seneschal is to be ordered that, when he has called those who are to be called, he is to have him put in possession of his questable men, as he was on the day when he left to come to England, if the customs of the country allow it.
Places mentioned
La Rousselle, [Bordeaux, Guyenne, France]
Bordeaux, [Guyenne, France]
Hastingnan, [Guyenne, France].
People mentioned
John de Hasting (Hastings), Seneschal of Gascony
Elias (Ellis) de Coupena (Caupenne).
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. This would agree with the mention of John de Hastings, Seneschal of Gascony August 1302-August 1304.
