- Nature of request
- Bernard de Vignoles states that the Lord of Vignoles, his father, was killed by the king's enemies, and many others of his family died in his service, and that his houses at Vignoles are burnt down and his lands laid waste, and he and his men are afraid to live there, for fear of the lord of Navailles and the lord of Mauleon and their people; so that his mother and his wife are living in great poverty. He makes five requests:1) He asks the king to give him a place at farm where he can live: that is Labouheyre, Brassenx, Auribat, Bonnegarde or Sorde.2) He asks that he might have an assignment in one of these places for the £300 of Bigorre that the king, of his grace, has promised him.3) He asks that he might be paid the arrears of the wages owed to himself and his father, or, if he cannot be paid, that he might receive the money from the farm of the bailiwick granted him.4) He asks that the wardrobe might pay him the money he has spent in equipping himself for the war in Scotland, for which he has incurred great debts in London.5) He requests a letter of permission to rebuild his house of Vignoles, as strongly as he can, in any place in his inheritance he wishes, as soon as he has the power.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Malcolm Vale discusses this petition on p.109 and pp.117-118 of The Angevin Legacy and the Hundred Years War, 1250-1340 (Oxford 1990); on p.109 he dates it to 1305. Roles Gascons, vol. III no.4684 is dated 1 April 1305, no.4894 is dated 10 April 1305 and no.4934 is dated 4 April 1305: all would seem to be in response to this petition. Roles Gascons, vol. III no.4648 is dated 24 November 1304, and would seem to be the original grant of £300 mentioned here.
