Description
Petitioners
Arnold William (Arnaut Guilhem), Lord of Mauvezin.
Name(s)
Lord of Mauvezin, Arnold William (Arnaut Guilhem)
Addressees
[King and council]
Nature of request
Arnold William, Lord of Mauvezin states that, when the Earl of Lincoln left Gascony this last time, he delivered to him half of Juliac for his sustenance, and ordered the Seneschal of the Agenais to deliver to him the bastide of Boulogne, which the Seneschal would not do except for rent; and afterwards, when the Earl had left, the Seneschal and Constable distrained his lieutenants to pay them all the issues of these places. He asks that he might hold these places as the Earl ordained; and if the king and council wish that it should not be so, then he asks that the issues, together with 500 shillings of Morlaas which he owes for corn taken from the king's keepers at Saint-Sever, should be allowed against his wages. He also requests payment of 700 shillings of Morlaas, which John de Hastingg, Seneschal of Gascony, owes him from his time in the garrison of Saint-Sever, when Bordeaux surrendered to the king. And he asks that the corn he took there should be allowed against the debt the Seneschal owes him.
Nature of endorsement
The Constable of Bordeaux is to be ordered to allow it to him, according to what the king owes, this time.

Note
A note at the beginning of SC 8/291, 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. There are instructions to pay the petitioner the money due to him for his wages in Roles Gascons, vol. III no.4954 (15), dated 6 April 1305.
