Nature of request
Bos de Caupenne states that he has been in the king's service during the war in Gascony and during the truce, and that the king owes him a certain sum of money for his wages.

He has petitioned on this at York, and was told to inform the council of how many letters he has lost and of what sums of money were contained in them. He has letters of testimony from Barrau de Sescars and Peter Arnold de Wyk, which the king will find enrolled in his rolls. He asks the king to order his clerks to search their rolls.
