Reference
SC 8/291/14545
Date
[? 1305]
Description
Petitioners
William (Guilhem) de Soe.
Name(s)
de Soe, William (Guilhem)
Addressees
King and council.
Nature of request
William de Soe states that during the war he was in the garrison of Estibeaux, and that he had a sergeant called Vidal Chik of Lamarque, whom he sent to Mimizan to find more people for the garrison. While he was there, he wounded another sergeant, called Peter de Necees, who was of the King of France's party, in a fight. Peter afterwards died, of his wounds as it was claimed, and Vidal was banished. William asks that he might have that banishment, as Vidal is always ready to answer anyone who wishes to challenge him in any way by reason of this death.
Nature of endorsement
The Seneschal is to be ordered that if this banishment was made during the war, and the man who was killed was of the King of France's party, this banishment is to be annulled.
Places mentioned
Estibeaux, [Gascony, France]
Mimizan, [Gascony, France].
People mentioned
Vidal (Bidau) Chik (Chic) of Lamarque, sergeant of William de Soe
Peter (Pey) de Necees, sergeant of the King of France's party
[Philip IV], King of France.
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 is therefore given a tentative date of 1305.
