Raymond (Ramon) del Port.

Port, Raymond (Ramon)
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Raymond del Port states that Edmund, Earl of Kent gave him the lands that Arnold de Perevys and William de Tartas of la Borne, the king's enemies and rebels, had held in the bailiwick of Born and Facine. He requests letters confirming this gift, in compensation for the losses and damages he has suffered for the king's sake and is still ready to suffer.
Nature of endorsement
The king has ordained that certain great people will be sent quickly with full power to do the things which are appropriate and profitable for himself and his subjects; and the king will order them that, when they have informed themselves of his losses, they are to give him such recompense as is appropriate and as might reasonably suffice.
Places mentioned
Born, [Gascony, France]
Facine [unidentified], [Gascony, France].
People mentioned
Edmund [of Woodstock], Earl of Kent
Arnold (Arnaut) de Perevys
William (Guilhem) de Tartas of la Borne (Born).
Note
From the hand, the endorsement, and the mention of Edmund, Earl of Kent, the king's lieutenant in Gascony 1324-1326, this petition would seem to date from the start of the reign of Edward III, after the war of St Sardos.
