Date
[1327-? c. 1335]
Description
Petitioners
Galhard (Gaillard) de Tastes, knight.
Name(s)
de Tastes, Galhard (Gaillard)
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Galhard de Tastes states that because he was in the service of the king's father in the last war in Gascony, the King of France's people have occupied his lands, goods and inheritances, both in Lamothe-Landerron and elsewhere in the Duchy of Guyenne. He requests compensation, so that other may have more desire to serve the king from the example.
Nature of endorsement
The Seneschal and Constable are to be ordered to inform themselves, and to inform the king of this.
Places mentioned
Gascony, [France]
Landarron (Lamothe-Landerron), [Guyenne, France]
Duchy of Guyenne, [France].
People mentioned
[Edward II], King of England
King of France.
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.
