Reference
SC 8/293/14622
Date
[c. 1320]
Description
Petitioners
Arnaudin (Arnold, Arnaut) de Brocas, bailli of Villereal in Agenais.
Name(s)
de Brocas, Arnaudin (Arnold, Arnaut)
Addressees
King.
Occupation
bailli of Villereal in Agenais
Nature of request
Arnaudin (Arnold, Arnaut) de Brocas, bailli of Villereal in Agenais, states that he has held Villereal at farm for £300 of petty tournois, at the request of Anthony Pessayne, and that Anthony ought to warrant him against damage, and that he then held it for the same sum during the time of William de Montagu, although it is only worth £200 of petty tournois, as a letter under the common seal of Villereal attests; but William de Montagu promised him that he would not be the loser through taking it at such a high price. He asks that he might be restored the £200 that he has lost by reason of his service, and that this bailiwick might be warranted to him for £200 of petty tournois annually, at pleasure.
Nature of endorsement
It seems to the council that it is unjust.
Places mentioned
Villereal, [Guyenne, France]
Agenais, [Guyenne, France].
People mentioned
Anthony (Antonio) Pessayne (di Pessagno)
William (Guillaume) de Montagu (Montaigut).
Note
Antonio di Pessagno was Seneschal of Gascony in 1317-1318, and Guillaume de Montaigut was Seneschal in 1319-1320. This would seem to date this petition to shortly after 1320.
