Order to the seneschal of Gascony, or his lieutenant, to obtain full information concerning Vile, de Guilhem-Arnauton de Bielle , son of Vile, de Oliver de Bielle , residing in the region of Bayonne despite his exile and banishment, and if they find that this is the case then they are to do full justice according to the fors and customs there, so that others will fear to perpetrate such crimes.

Afterwards Bielle took refuge in the church of the Carmelites in Bayonne . ¹ He was prosecuted by the mayor of Bayonne and other royal officers and was requested to surrender to the king's peace, and although he appealed against his felony before the mayor and the king's officers, it was decided, according to the fors and customs there, to exile and banish him, as appears by the rolls of the community of Bayonne. Now Bielle is living in the region without punishment in contempt of the king's peace and to the terror of the king's people.
