C 61/42 4 Edward III (1330-31)

Introduction.

As was often the case in the rolls of this period, several entries deal with sums of money owed to individual Gascons or communities dating back to the reigns of Edward I or Edward II. For instance the lord of Rions Guilhem-Séguin VII continued to press for the 2000 l.ch. promised to his father by Edward I in order to rebuild the town walls of Rions, the previous walls having been razed to the ground by the French in 1295. 1 The executor of a deceased prior of Saint-Esprit of Bayonne requested the latter’s wages which were still outstanding from the reign of Edward I. 2

Following the war of Saint-Sardos (1324-5), a peace treaty was finally signed (8 May 1330) with the then king of France (Philip VI). This is copied in full onto this roll. 3 The lord of Caumont, along with seven other nobles, requested that their sentence of banishment by the parlement of Paris be revoked, since the treaty of peace with the king of France, following the war of Saint-Sardos had not mentioned this. 4

The king gave full power to John Darcy le Cosyn and Guilhem-Sans II de Pommiers to receive men into the king’s obedience even though they had left it during the war of Saint-Sardos. 5 They were also ordered to inspect all the king’s castles and fortalices in the duchy of Aquitaine and provide men and victuals as necessary, very much reflecting the aftermath of war and ther perceived need to maintain defence. 6 John Darcy and John Haustede were commissioned to negotiate with the nobles and inhabitants of Agenais to secure their return to the king’s obedience. 7

Fortaner d'Esgoarrebaque had lost a lot of money by paying the ransoms of some of his men who had been made prisoner at Talmont-sur-Gironde by the French during the war of Saint-Sardos. 8 He also had to help to return the count of Foix into the king’s obedience. 9

Adam de Lymbergh, former constable of Bordeaux, was troubled because the treasurers of Périgord-Quercy-Limousin and Agenais had failed to render their accounts to him: their provinces had been conquered by the French during the war of Saint-Sardos and they had rendered their accounts to the French. 10

Master Guilhem de Gourdon, of Bourg (in Bordelais), was appointed king’s remembrancer in the duchy of Aquitaine, as well as in the courts of the king of France at Paris (the parlement of Paris) and in the French seneschalcies neighbouring the duchy of Aquitaine. Such an appointment underlines the importance of local appeals to the king of France’s court which caused much disruption to the king of England’s authority as duke of Aquitaine, especially once Edward III had accepted that he owed homage to the French king for the duchy. 11 Gourdon went to England in order to inform the king on such matters. 12 He was also a royal councillor in the duchy and was given a special protection by the king. 13

Several matters treated in the previous rolls continue to feature. A special commission had been appointed by the king to audit the account of Aubert Mège when he was constable of Bordeaux, since he was too old to come to England, although he had subsequently been ordered to go to England in person. 14 Following this case, the king issued an ordinance specifying that all constables of Bordeaux had to have their account audited at the exchequer of England at Westminster, and that the controllers of Bordeaux had also to come to England with their counter rolls. 15 A member of the king’s council at Bordeaux had to be sent by the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux to Bayonne to make a peaceful agreement between the community of Bayonne and the men of Labenne, Capbreton, and le Bouret, about fishing rights, linked to a conflict mentioned in the previous roll. 16 The king put under his protection and safeguard the Ségur brothers in order to protect them against Pey II de Grailly, vicomte of Benauges, who claimed to be their overlord. 17 The king also allowed them to bear arms to defend themselves against the vicomte. 18 Guilhem de Heugas had been pardoned, following a payment of a fine, for the murder of the lords of Amou and Athieu, despite the fact he had been imprisoned for this offence in the prison of Dax. He had broken out of that prison and been exiled. Bernat de Béarn called l’Aspès complained to the king that the lands and goods owned by Heugas he had been allocated had been ordered to be returned to Heugas. 19 It had been decided that they had to be returned in the king’s hands and delivered once again to Bernat de Béarn. 20 This was a grant made to Béarn by Edward II and confirmed by Edward III. 21 There remained complaints about the murder of Arnaut de Noaillac, of Penne-d’Agenais, whose perpetrators had been pardoned through a royal act copied in the previous roll. 22

A harsh conflict had arisen between Pey II de Grailly, vicomte of Benauges and Castillon, and his son and heir Johan II de Grailly, since the former claimed to be the executor of his late wife and mother of Johan II (Assalhida of Bordeaux), and his son had expelled his father's troops from his mother’s possessions in Bordeaux in order to put his men there instead, despite royal protection. 23

We find in the roll first mention of the claim of the chapter of Saint-André of Bordeaux to one third of the money struck at Bordeaux. This claim continued to be mentioned in the Gascon Rolls until 1354. 24 The king ordered that wages should not be paid in the duchy in local money beyond the value of this money in sterling. 25

We also find on this roll several letters allowing the building of fortalices. We can note particularly authorisation to build the ‘maison forte’ of Malengin which still survives today, although in ruins, 26 as well as authorisation to build the ‘maison forte’ of Monbadon, another fortalice still existing today. 27 The two medieval ‘maisons fortes’ still surviving in the commune of Saint-Germain-du-Puch (dép. Gironde) have the same origin. 28

Arnaut de Lescapon, was granted for a seven year period, the office concerning the king’s money struck at Bordeaux thanks to prestigious patronage (the king of Bohemia, the counts of Hainaut and Jülich). 29

It is noteworthy that the Gascon Pey de Martillac was given the keepership of the castle and castellany of Saint-Macaire at the request of its inhabitants. 30

Two entries deal with the murder of a citizen of Bordeaux. Its perpetrators were possibly still in the duchy of Aquitaine despite their banishment. 31 The accused claimed to be clerks and consequently they asserted they were under ecclesiastical judicial authority, not lay authority (including that of the king). 32

Other entries concern goods transported on ships. A merchant of Gascony complained that a master of a ship had retained his goods to his own profit. 33 As Reyner de Berfrey, burgess of Bristol, died intestate at Bordeaux, his goods which were in a ship of Bristol had been seized into the king’s hand as was customary in Gascony, but Alicia, her widow, showed his will, which led to an order that the goods of her late husband should be returned to her. 34

Gascon Roll for 4 Edward III

Concerning the auditing of the accounts of Master Aubert Mège, late constable of Bordeaux.

1

30 January 1330 . Eltham .

Assignment of John de Haustede, seneschal of Gascony , Master Galiciano, de Pey de Galician, constable of Bordeaux , Master Moleria, de Arnaut de Lamolère and Master Aukerio, de Johan de Augey , or the three or two of them, one being the seneschal or constable, to audit at Burdeg' Bordeaux the accounts of Master Medici Aubert Mège, king's clerk , from the time that he was constable of Bordeaux, both for the issues of the duchy and of the victuals and other goods of the king's father then in Mège’s charge, and to do everything to terminate the accounts. They are ordered to summon the controller or his deputy concerning the accounts from that time and do all that is necessary, and they are to report what they have done in this matter under their seals; the king has ordered the controller and Mège to obey and be intendant on them. Lately the king ordered the seneschal, and Master John de Weston, then constable of Bordeaux , to assign men to hear and determine the accounts of Mège, from the time when he was constable, by a commission of Edward [II], late king of England , then governor and administrator of the king's possessions and goods in the duchy , 1 under the seal then used in the duchy, and the king, for certain reasons then revoked the commission. Mège now states that he is too old and exhausted to come to England to render his accounts and requests that the king appoint people in the duchy instead, Oliver de Ingham, late seneschal in the duchy , vouches for the truth of Mège's message, and the king wishes to show him special grace.

1.
The reference to Edward II as governor and administrator of the king's possessions and goods in the duchy, refers to the time when Edward III as Edward of Windsor did homage to the king of France for the duchy of Aquitaine in 1326, but his father retained actual control of the duchy by the novel device of remaining his son's governor and administrator.
2

Same as above

And it is ordered to Master Gwitardi Johan Guitard, controller of Bordeaux , or his lieutenant, that he be present personally at the rendering of the account [of Aubert Mège] with the seneschal of Gascony , constable of Bordeaux , Moleria, de Arnaut de Lamolère and Aukerio, de Johan de Augey , with his counter roll to attest the payments and receipts made by him, and to do what he considers necessary for the king, and the king wishes that he obey and be intendant in all things pertaining to this

15 February 1330 . Turris London' Tower of London . For Bonet de Soler.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony that if he notices that the banishment described in this entry has been lawfully made and judged as asserted, then he has to approve this banishment by king's letters under the king's seal used in the duchy and enforce them on the king's subjects of the duchy. Soler, du Bonet de Soler petitioned the king before him and his council that Chikat Bernat Chiquet, former Burdeg' citizen of the city of Bordeaux , has been killed in a treacherous and premeditated trap against the king's peace on a public street of the said city by Mayensang' Pey de Mayensan called Pey-Ramon de Myes , Geres Pey de Gères of Caumont , 1 Guilhem du Brion , Pey [de Lacaze] and la Case Ramon de Lacaze of Cutures Coutures . These latter were called in justice for this crime before the mayor and jurats of the said city as proclaimed by trumpets in the four corners of the said city as it is customary, these malefactors being notoriously guilty of this murder, and in their absence were banished by the said mayor and jurats. If it happens that the exiles are found in the power of the king , the seneschal has to catch them without delay and make a swift justice of them according to the local law, fors and customs in order that the punishment of the said malefactors brings fear to the others who commit misdeeds.

20 February 1330 . Wyndes' Windsor . For Bernat de Béarn.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux, or their lieutenants, that having called the members of the king's council in the duchy, [the king's] proctors and others whom they consider ought to be called, they check the content of the petition of Lespes Bernat de Béarn, called l'Aspès he showed before the king and his council that Faugars Guilhem de Heugas killed at Bone Garde Bonnegarde the noble lords of Damor' Amou and of Datio Athieu , 1 these lords being under the protection and safeguard of Edward II, late king of England , father of the current king. Heugas has been condemned for this murder by the lord of Crodon' Craon , then seneschal of Gascony 2 and incarcerated in the prison of Aquis' Dax . Then Heugas broke out from this prison, secretly escaped from there, has been banished at this occasion from all the said duchy, and the lands and tenements which were possessions of the said Heugas and which came into Edward II's hand by the forfeiture of the said Heugas were allocated, it is said, by this latter to Bernat de Béarn partly in satisfaction of 100 l.st. per year granted by the king to him for life. Heugas suggested to the king the truth, that he has been falsely accused of these treacheries and murder committed in the prévôté of Aquens' Dax , so were treacherously obtained from the king some letters ordaining the seneschal of Gascony to make him justice according of the fors and customs of Dax, the seneschal decided to let him alone for the said murder with the payment of 300 s.morl. and to return to him his lands and goods according to the fors and customs of Dax, to the great expense and prejudice of the king and the great damage of Bernat de Béarn as is shown in the petition sent to the seneschal and the constable under the king's seal. The seneschal and the constable have to act on this matter for the advantage of the king and of his lieges, keeping his right according to the local fors and customs, and if treachery and murder in the regions of the duchy or in the baylie of Bonnegarde has been made as outlined, to revoke or make them to be revoked, the decision of the seneschal of Gascony being obtained through a distortion of the truth at the suggestion of the said Heugas. 3

10 March 1330 . Wynton' Winchester .

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux or their lieutenants that having called the king's proctors and other members of the king's council in the duchy whom they consider ought to be called, that they check the content of the petition of Lespes Bernat de Béarn, called l'Aspès he showed before the king and his council that Fougas Guilhem de Heugas killed at Bone Garde Bonnegarde the noble lords of Damor' Amou and of Datio Athieu , 1 these lords being under the protection and safeguard of E[dward II] , former king of England, father of the current king. Heugas has been condemned for this murder by the Crodon' lord of Craon , 2 and incarcerated in the prison of Aquis Dax . Then Heugas broke out from this prison, secretly escaped from there, has been banished at this occasion of all the said duchy and the lands and tenements which were possessions of the said Heugas and which came in Edward II's hand by the forfeiture of the said Heugas were allocated, it is said, by this latter to Bernat de Béarn in part satisfaction of 100 l.st. per year granted by the king to him for life. Heugas suggested to the king the truth, that he has been falsely accused of these treacheries and murder committed in the Aquens prévôté of Dax , so were treacherously obtained from the king some letters ordaining the seneschal of Gascony to make him justice according of the fors and customs of Dax, the seneschal decided to let him acquit for the said murder with the payment of 300 s.morl. and to return to him his lands and goods according to the fors and customs of Dax, to the great expense and prejudice of the king and the great damage of Bernat de Béarn as it is shown in the petition sent to the seneschal and the constable under the king's seal. The seneschal and the constable, if they find that this murder happened within the territory of Bonnegarde and Heugas has been previously proved to be guilty, then they have to revoke without delay the decision of the seneschal of Gascony on this matter and on the restitution of Heugas's lands to him and return them to the previous status. If perchance the lands of Heugas were seized into the hand of Edward II and were delivered to Heugas, then they have to return them into the king's hand, and deliver them to Bernat de Béarn in the form he held them previously according to the allocation of Edward II. On what they will do on this matter, they have to certify the king by their letters patent.

6 March 1330 . Wynton' Winchester . Of the punishment [inflicted] to those who killed Arnaut de Noaillac .

Order to the seneschal of Gascony or his lieutenant to have full information on the murder of Arnaut [de Noaillac] , brother of Noelake Estèbe de Noaillac, Penne in Agen' burgess of Penne-d'Agenais , who petitioned the king on the fact his brother Arnaut was wickedly killed in the said town of Penne by some malefactors and no punishment for this felony and murder happened to them. The king ordered the seneschal of Gascony to inform himself swiftly on the said felony and murder as well as on the names of the malefactors who perpetrated it and to castigate and punish those culpable according to their faults and the local fors and customs, on what he did nothing until now as is understood the king which is very surprising. The seneschal has to learn the names of the said malefactors who perpetrated the said murder and punish and castigate all the malefactors he will find guilty according to the local fors and customs.

6 March 1330 . Wynton' Winchester . Concerning protection and safeguard.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony or his lieutenant, the constables, castellans, officials, all the king's bayles and liege men in the duchy, that they should maintain, protect and defend the abbot and the convent of the monastery of Sanctus Vincencius Saint-Vincent of Burgo super Mare, de Bourg 1 their men, lands, things, rents and all their just possessions, as the king granted them his safeguard,and to defend them against unlawful violence according to the law and the local fors and customs.

14 March 1330 . Wynton' Winchester . For Berne, Aspeys Bernat de Béarn called l'Aspès .

Confirmation and approval of these letters patent of Edward II :

21 July 1326 . Westminster .

Grant to Berne, de, Aspeys Bernat de Béarn called l'Aspès in deduction of the 100 l.st. per annum from the issues of the duchy owed to him [by the king] of the value of the lands seized on Hougas Guilhem de Heugas . Bernat de Béarn petitioned the king to be part paid from these lands because Heugas was formerly convicted of felony in the duchy of Aquitaine, but the execution of the sentence was pending, and Heugas was incarcerated in the king's prison from which he broke out and escaped, for which reason he has subsequently been banished and his land seized into the king's hand.

18

20 March 1330 . Wynton' Winchester . For Pey [II] of Grailly, executor of the will of Asalhida de Bordeaux.

Order to the seneschal of Gascony or his lieutenants to investigate on the [following] matter to learn the truth. The king learned that Pey [II] de Grailly, Benaugesar' vicomte of Benauges and Castellionis Castillon , executor of the will of Burdeg' Asalhida de Bordeaux , his former wife, and was peacefully established in possession of her goods according to her last will and testament, and for their conservation the same vicomte has been put into the king's safeguard, and in sign of this safeguard were fixed and put on these goods the king's pennon, and a grant to have some serjeants to keep these goods was obtained by the vicomte at his request. This safeguard publicly forbade to attempt any unlawful violence on these goods. But Grelino, de Johan de Grailly , 1 Solerio, de Bonet de Soler , Calculi Pey Caillau and some other of their accomplices destroyed without respect this safeguard and expelled the armed body of men of the same vicomte, they took these goods by this attack, and removed with contempt the said king's pennon and from that time they acted in contempt of the king and his authority and thereby delayed the enforcement of the said will and the king's peace. Although punishment for this excess has been made public in the duchy, the seneschal has not yet implemented it, so these malefactors with presumption frequently attacked Pey de Grailly, perpetrating similar damage. The seneschal has to castigate in such way those who happen to be guilty according to their offences and the local fors and customs in a way that will bring fear to others who attempt to breach the king's peace on this matter. So the seneschal has to restore Pey de Grailly into his safeguard and the said possession as it is used for others in similar cases, to maintain and defend him according to the local fors and customs.

This title and this entry have been struck-through. It is written in the margin: 'Void and restored and Bradstone has other king's letters of 100 m. to receive for life from the custom of London as it appears in the Patent Roll of the 28th year [year of Edward III], in March [1354]'.Note latter inserted in the margin.

However, they have to return this ‘maison-forte’ or fortalice to the king and his heirs at their demand whether in war or peace at the order of the king and his heirs or his seneschals in the duchy.

By K.

1.
The modern family name is Dupuch but it was written in the Middle Ages as 'du Puch'.
2.
There is a still extant 14th century 'maison-forte' or castle of the Grand Puch and a 16th century 'maison-forte', but probably preceded by an older 'maison-forte', named the Petit Puch . See Drouyn, L. La Guienne militaire , vol.II, p. 420-3, plate no.146 (for the Grand Puch) and p. 423-6 (for the Petit Puch). These two 'maisons-fortes' are probably the result of the grant of two distinct authorizations to build a 'maison-forte' in Saint-Germain-du-Puch, the first given to Hélias Dupuch (see entry entry 118 ) and the second to Ramon Dupuch. For a similar grant done by Edward III to Galhart Dupuch, see entry in C 61/60

However, they have to return this ‘maison-forte’ or fortalice to the king and his heirs at their demand whether in war or peace at the order of the king and his heirs or his seneschals in the duchy.

By K.

First, the men of the king of France assert that, at the last peace or agreement signed during the reign of the current king of England, it has been agreed that all things and lands taken by force by the men of the current king of England will be returned to the king of France and set to rights, similarly for the things and lands taken by the men of the king of France from the men of the king of England.
  2. But the men of the king of France say that the men of the king of England did not do the said restitution, so the men of the king of France request to have full restitution, and if the men of the king of England say to them that some restitution has to be done, the king of France will do it.
  3. Item, the men of the king of France say that because of the same treaty of peace or agreement, the king of England has to pay to the king of France the sum of 50.000 m.st. for some reasons explained in this treaty.

  5.

  8. Item, the men of the king of France assert that the castles of the twelve nobles who were banished from the kingdom of France following the last agreement have not be destroyed in the agreed manner, so they request them to be destroyed without fraud, and that no other fortresses have to be built on the site of these castles, and those which were built have to be destroyed.

First, he requests the king of France to return to him the place of Sales Salles[-Mongiscard] with its appurtenances occupied by the Fois count of Foix , and the place of Sarrafront Sarron occupied by the Darmignac count of Armagnac according to the last treaty of peace, and also it has been promised and sworn by the marshal of France , Sir Galart Peire de Galard and Sir Solegnac Béraut de Solignac, Thoulouse seneschal of Toulouse , knights, commissaries appointed by the king of France to accomplish this peace, they will be returned with the issues levied on them since the said peace.

  4. Item, commissaries have to be despatched by the two parts on the fulfilment of the peace recently agreed and on the repairing and reformation of the things done against the content of the peace. The king of France has to restablish things to the king of England, and his men and subjects whatever has been done against the form of the said peace, as the representatives of the king of England will show to the those who will be appointed commissaries.

On these demands and requests written above presented by the men of the king of France to the king of England, duke of Guyenne, their respective councillors, diplomats, messengers and proctors had a great deliberation and agreement in the following manner:

  1. First, on the first request made by the men of the king's lord, the king of France, on the lands seized, the fulfillment of the restitution will be done now without delay according to the content of the agreement previously made on the occupied lands on the king of France by the men of the king of England and duke, and the same will be done of the lands occupied by the king of France and his men on the king of England and duke.
  2. Item, on the second and third request mentioning the money owed to the king of France, agreement that if it is found in the old treaties of peace or other obligations that the king of France owes to the king of England some of money, this sum will be deducted from the sum requested by the king of France of the king of England and duke, and what will remain on both sides will be resolved as soon as possible.
  3. Item, on the fourth article on the Dageneis men of Agenais complaining of several novelties, etc, it is agreed they have to be held and kept in their liberties and franchises according the form of the peace, all novelties being removed.
  4.

17 September 1330 . Notingh' Nottingham . For Fortaner d'Esgoarrebaque.

Order to the senechal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux to have information, whatever the means used, as Garbache Fortaner d'Esgoarrebaque petitioned the king that several of his men, nobles as others, were killed by the men of the king of France in the last war of Gascony that broke out, 1 and others were made prisonners by the same French in the same war and Fortaner paid several sums of money to free these captured men, so he requested the king, in compensation of the damage he endured to grant him the bastide and place 2 of Seint Gyen Saint-Gein and Frondebeau Rondeboeuf to have for life worth a farm of 36 l.st. , it is asserted, together with the office of the driving and counting 3 of the cows [who pasture on the moors] of the Landarum seneschalcy of the Landes 4 to have for life.

The second part of TNA, C 81/175/3942 is the petition of Fortaner d'Esgoarrebaque at the origin of this petition. There Esgoarrebaque explained that he lost one day at Talmont[-sur-Gironde] three nobles, twelve foot serjeants and eleven horses killed next to him by the men of the king of France; and one of his knights as well as four nobles were taken and imprisoned for two years. And because of their ransoms, Esgoarrebaque paid a great sum of money without any help from the king's men. So he requested in compensation of his damage to have for life the office of the driving and counting of the cows he held in farm for 24 l.st. per annum from the constable of Bordeaux, and the bastide of Seint Gyen Saint-Gein and Frondebeau Rondeboeuf which are farmed for 36 l.st. per annum. On the dorse, the king agreed he has the office of driving and counting of the cows for life, keeping the 24 l.st. for himself. But he ordered the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux to learn the value of the bastide and then certify him. The chancery warrant for this petition is TNA,C 81/175/3941 (Nottingham, 16 September 1330).

20 September 1330 . Notingh' Nottingham . Concerning some letters sent for the king in Gascony.

[in French]

Letters of notification to John Darcy and John de Haustede , seneschal of the duchy of Guienne Guyenne , giving news of the king's business on which the bishop of Chester 1 and the bishop of Norwich 2 have been at the court of France. 3 These messengers returned before the king and informed the king that the king of France and his council did not want to accept the answers the king through his messengers to the request the king of France made, even if these answers were just and reasonable, and he did not reply to the requests of the king of England, but this king said himself to the =king of England's messengers that from now on he did not want to have treaty with him. So the king of England wants Darcy, Haustede and his subjects of the duchy openly know the negotiation the king proposed to the king of France to obtain a peace in order to avoid all form of discord, the king sent to them the requests made by the king of France and the answers made to these requests by the king's messengers in order that they openly know and are able to show to the king's subjects of the duchy the offensive and unreasonable behaviour shown by the king of France as a man who does not care or does not have the will to do him justice, but apparently wants the king of England's dispossession. Consequently, the king informs them that he made the decision, after advice and deliberation of his most reliable council, to seek the help of king's friends he might have, to defend, with God's help, the his rights, inheritance and his said subjects against the wickedness and the force of the king of France if he wants to wage war on him. And because the king still suspects that the king of France is thinking of sending an army towards the duchy of Aquitaine before the next winter season or to come there in person to put the duchy in his hands, the king informs them that in the case that the king of France sends some of his ministers to carry out in the duchy some of the articles between him and the king according to the content of the agreements, without any force that increases the perils in the king's lands, the seneschal of the duchy and the other king's ministers of the duchy kindly endure with pleasant talk without much resistance to get through these wicked times in order to prevent at another time the said executions when the king will have more time, and by such concealment the king and his subjects can avoid having abrupt damage with the destruction of their vineyards and their other goods and chattels. But if the king of France comes with an army or sends an army by which it is clear he comes to destroy and ride over the country and conquer the king's possessions, then he orders them and his liege men of the country to do their best to organize the resistance of the king's towns, castles and fortresses of the country under their authority until the king can send as soon as possible, with God's help, a rescue, promising to the king's subjects, about the damage and losses they could receive because of the maintenance of the king's heritage and their loyalty towards the king, the latter will compensate them of their losses and damage more generously than any of the king's ancestors in the past, as the bearer of these letters could say further in more detail. Concerning money to them, the king knows well that things cannot be maintained or be pursued, the king informs them that he will assemble a general council at Notyngham Nottingham with the prelates, counts and barons of his kingdom within a fortnight of next Michaelmas, and he will decide there in such manner with advice of his council that Darcy and Haustede and all the king's good men will be well conforted by a great sum of money and they will have enough means so they will be able to enlist men-at-arms and pay wages for the maintenance of the king's estate and to crush the French with God's help. So the king orders them to perform the said things in the best way they can with the advice of the members of the king's council in the duchy they trust the most, as Sir Till' Arnaut de Tilh, king's clerk and private adviser of the king , 4 will fully inform them.

And also the king has also given power to them by other letters to deal with the Ageneys men of Agenais and others who are under the authority of the king of France, 1 to retain, take back them to the king and to grant them pardon and remission on all the things by which they offended the king in the past, and especially to deal with the Fois count of Foix , the Comenge count of Comminges and with Roger-Bernat [de Foix], brother of the count of Foix 2 with the help of Garvak' Fortaner d'Esgoarrebaque who is living in the count of Foix's country 3 and has promised to the king to try his best to attract the count of Foix 4 and Roger[-Bernat], his brother, and several others in helping the king's business, so the king requests them to do their best to perform in the best way the things mentioned, above with the advice of the members of the king's council in the duchy they trust the most.
