Description (What the record is about)
-
- Petitioners
- Robert de la Grave, clerk.
- Name(s)
- Grave, Robert
- Addressees
- King.
- Nature of request
- [The petition is badly faded and much of the right-hand side of the petition is illegible]. Grave makes a request concerning the office of scrivener of Sad[...] and refers to letters patent under the great seal to the constable of Bordeaux, and [? the office] being taken into the king's hand by Lymburgh.
- Nature of endorsement
- Because he has been removed by the ordinances made at Amiens, if he is restored it will be by the grace of the king.
- Places mentioned
- Bordeaux, [Guyenne, France].
- People mentioned
- Adam de Lymburgh (Limburg), late constable of Bordeaux.
-
Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1324-c. 1330 as the petition refers to Adam de Lymbergh as the former constable of Bordeaux, and his term ended in October of that year. It is unclear whether the ordinances of Amiens referred to in the response refer in some way to business done at Amiens in 1329 when Edward III did homage to Philip VI for Aquitaine, or to some earlier agreement, perhaps even that made by St Louis. If it the former, then the date of the petition is pushed forward to c. 1330.
