Reference
SC 8/346/E1385
Date
[? c. 1317-? c. 1330]
Description
Petitioners
Gerald de Aux.
Name(s)
de Aux, Gerald
Addressees
King.
Nature of request
Aux requests that for his good and loyal service done to the king in his land of Saintonge from the time of the Sire de Chastillon, that he confirm and make him his sergeant general in Saintonge for his life by the king's good grace.
Nature of endorsement
Petition of Gerald de Auxio, Gascon.
Places mentioned
Saintonge, [France].
People mentioned
Sire de Chastillon.
Note
The petition is dated to c. 1317-c. 1330 because the petition is endorsed in a similar manner to a group of Gascon petitions in file SC 8/330 that probably formed an original file that dates to this range, and it is also in a hand that is consistent with this date (SC 8/330/E979-E994). Few of the petitions of the group have proved easily datable, only SC 8/330/E987 proving of any real use, referring to John de Weston as the former chamberlain of Scotland, and he ceased to hold that office in 1317. Several of the petitions seem to refer to war service, and it is unclear whether these are references to the war in the last years of Edward I or to that of St Sardos, hence the late date of c. 1330.
