Reference
SC 8/292/14596
Date
[1327-? c. 1331]
Description
Petitioners
Galhard (Gaillard) de Borce (Borc).
Name(s)
de Borce (Borc), Galhard (Gaillard)
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Galhard de Borce states that he is owed money for his wages and those of his companions in the service of the king's father in his last war in Gascony, and requests letters to the Constable of Bordeaux to pay him, for which he can show bills under the seal of John Travers.
Nature of endorsement
The Constable of Bordeaux is to be ordered to account with him, and to pay him what is found by account to be due to him, as soon as he properly can.
Places mentioned
Gascony, [France].
People mentioned
[Edward II], King of England
John Travers.
Note
From the hand and the reference to the king's father, this petition would seem to be datable to the early years of the reign of Edward III. John Travers was Constable of Bordeaux between April 1324 and Easter 1326, and between June 1331 and February 1335. He does not appear to be Constable at the time the petition was written, which would seem to suggest a most likely date of 1327-1331.
