C 61/70 32 Edward III (1358-59)

Introduction.

There are two rolls for the 32nd regnal year of Edward III, this current roll and the following roll (71). This roll contains business for the first six months of the regnal year from January to June. The fact that two rolls were generated reflects the impact of the personal presence of the Black Prince in the duchy until April 1357. The following roll consists mainly of confirmations of grants made by the prince. The current roll contains a wide variety of topics, including several interesting legal cases. According to one entry, a married wife could not be a guardian of a ward according to the custom of the duchy of Aquitaine. ¹ We also find a case about the sale of a tenement made by a woman allegedly ‘deaf and insane’ which is challenged by her children. ² We learn of the consequences of the sentence made against Gaubert de les Fosses of Monpazier (South-West Périgord) who had been accused of murder. His possessions had been seized to the detriment of his sister. ³ Some people of La Réole had been banished because of a murder of one of its citizens, but they were still at large in the duchy of Aquitaine despite the sentence. ⁴ There was a pardon to Fortaner de Gayrosse who had killed the notary of Mauléon. ⁵ Pey de Vergnes, keeper of the gold money minted at Bordeaux, had been attacked and wounded on the head on a public road whilst he was occupied in the king’s business. ⁶ Because of a private war in which the father of the lord of Gayrosse was killed, the possessions of the lord of Gayrosse in the Landes had been occupied by the lord of Albret for 20 years. ⁷ There is a mention of the appeal by the lord of Caupenne and members of his family about the succession to the lordship of Tiran, near Bordeaux. ⁸ The court case on the aubergades of Soule is mentioned, as in earlier rolls. The castellan of Mauléon Ramon de Miossens had requested the king to reimburse him for the cost of the appeal of the men of Soule in the case. ⁹ We also find an appeal to the king as king of France of a parishioner of Le Pian-Médoc who challenged his status of serf against the chapter and canons of Saint-Seurin of Bordeaux, and claimed to have been imprisoned and tortured by them. ¹⁰ There is a story about Arnaut-Guilhem, lord of Olhaïby (in the Soule province), a rebel against the king, who had been banished because he had stood with the lord of Gramont and the French, and had tried to attack the king’s castle of Mauléon. ¹¹ Galhart Durand, son of Ramon Durand, former seneschal of the Landes who died in the assault of a bastide (new town) of the Landes in 1332-3, complained that he had lost the baylie of Labourd. ¹² Financial extortions had been made on Gauter de Rouffignac by several members of the Laroque family (South-West Périgord). ¹³ Rouffignac was created one the king’s councillors in the duchy. ¹⁴ He was also appointed juge-mage in the seneschalcy of Périgord-Quercy and Limousin. ¹⁵

Edward III revoked letters of marque because these were considered to harm trade and likely retaliations against them could affect his own subjects. He revoked the marque on the merchants of Agenais, who were not coming anymore to Bordeaux because of fear of the effects of the letters. The Welshmen Rhys ap Gruffudd and Hywel ap Gruffudd who had been made prisoners of war by some men of Agenais during the truces had to be the beneficiaries of these letters of marque. ¹⁶ Finally, the king revoked all marques delivered by the seneschal of Gascony and this latter had to drop all their executions. ¹⁷

The men of La Réole succeeded with those of Bazas to have confirmation, challenged by the community of Bordeaux, of the right to bring their goods into Bordeaux without paying the 6 d. per pound levied on them by the community of Bordeaux. ¹⁸ The towns of Bergerac, Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, Saint-Émilion and Saint-Macaire obtained a similar privilege. ¹⁹ The towns of Bergerac, Lalinde, Sainte-Foy-la-Grande, Gensac, Castillon and Saint-Émilion continued to complain to the king about the additional tax of 4 s.st. levied at Libourne by the constable of Bordeaux on their wines loaded there. The original complaint dated back to 1354. ²⁰ Several important grants or confirmations were made to the community of Libourne. ²¹ The taxes levied on their wines and goods at Bordeaux were ordered to be returned to them. ²²

A tax was granted to the community of Saint-Émilion to repair their urban enclosure. ²³ There were delays in repairs and fortifications of the king’s castle of La Réole because the men of the lords of Albret and Caumont did not want to pay the toll of 20 d.bord. for each tun of wine or grain coming down the river Garonne before La Réole. ²⁴ The king revoked the toll granted to the lord of Lesparre for the enclosure of Lesparre. ²⁵ The king also banned the building of fortalices in Bourgeais. ²⁶

Several orders were sent to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux to implement the treaty made by the prince of Wales with Johan de Galard, lord of Limeuil. ²⁷ Because of a treaty made between Auger de Montguyon, lord of Montguyon, and the prince of Wales, Mathe, widow of a previous lord of Montguyon, was to receive 200 crowns each year on the customs levied on the wines at the castle of Bordeaux. ²⁸ The genealogy of the lord of Montguyon of this period is given. ²⁹

We learn that Guilhem Aubert, originating from the region of Fronsac, had been one of the bodyguards of Prince Edward at the battle of Poitiers (19 September 1356) and was rewarded for that. ³⁰ He also obtained for life the prévôté of Bazas. ³¹

Some entries inform us about the routiers of the English party and certain local nobles affected by them. Routiers of the English party took prisoner, and obtained ransoms from, the lord of Gourdon and a knight of Quercy during the truces. ³² We find a pardon granted to two routier leaders of the English party active in Périgord (Hélias d’Escodéca and Bernat de Mechmont). ³³ Some malefactors, in all likelihood of the English party, had pillaged the goods and destroyed the harvests of the abbey of Brantôme (in Périgord) despite the fact that this abbey was under the king’s protection. ³⁴ Guilhem-Sans III de Pommiers was granted the castle and castellany of Blanzac he had occupied from c.1342. If it happened that it was restored to the lord of La Rochefoucauld, who was then in the French party, Guilhem-Sans was to be fully satisfied of all the expenses he had incurred for the preservation, garrisoning and repair and fortification of the castle by the lord de La Rochefoucauld. ³⁵ Pommiers and his wife Johana de Fronsac suffered encroachments of the lord of Albret for their possessions in the Pays de Born. ³⁶ The king confirmed to Guillaume de Garlande the places he had captured in war. ³⁷ We find mentions of the family of the routier captain Naudon de Bagéran about the destruction and the rebuilding of their fortalice near Castets-en-Dorthe. ³⁸ Montasin de Bagéran, keeper of the castle of Castets-en-Dorthe, was not to deliver it to anyone apart from the constable of Bordeaux. ³⁹

Two grants of Richard the Lionheart, when he was only duke of Aquitaine and count of Poitou (before 1189), were confirmed to the abbey of Sainte-Croix of Bordeaux. One concerned the water of the stream called ‘l’Eau Bourde’ which was necessary to make work the abbey’s mills. ⁴⁰ The second was the grant of two villae and of the stream of Peyrelongue for the use of the abbey's mills. ⁴¹

An entry, which clarifies another copied on the previous roll, concerns the widow of Guilhem d’Aubiac, burgess of Bordeaux. The latter had written a will were he gave 300 crowns (or écus) to the king in order to save his soul because of his embezzlement when he was master of the king’s money at Dax. ⁴²

Part of royal woodland in Saintonge was granted in order to repair the house and buildings of the king’s clerk Robert Gasc. ⁴³ If peace was signed with the king of France, all Robert Gasc’s possessions and those of his father, which they had lost when they had rallied Edward III, were to be returned to them. ⁴⁴

We find also the case of English and Gascon merchants who were robbed at sea by people from La Rochelle in the king of France’s obedience. ⁴⁵ An English ship was chartered by the lords of Curton and Pommiers to bring their goods from England to Aquitaine. ⁴⁶

The king gave a subsidy of 100 s.st. to the Carmelites of Bordeaux to organize their chapter-general. ⁴⁷

6 February 1358 . Westminster . For the heirs of Mainard de Mortemart .

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux, that having heard the complaint of the heirs of Mainard de Mortemart, or of their friends or proctors, and having summoned before them Peire de Léparon, if it appears that the assertion of the heirs of Mainard de Mortemart is true, then they have to make swift full justice on the return to these heirs of this tenement with its vineyards and other appurtenances, according to the local fors and customs. Phelip and Elias Hélias , Maria and Sibilla Sibilha , sons and daughters and heirs of the late Mainardus, Mortamer Mainard de Mortemart and of his wife Fauressa Bona Fauresse , have complained to the king that, as the late Faure Hélias Fauresse ¹ father of Bona, has put on the marriage contract between his daughter and Mainard that only the children procreated from theirs bodies were the heirs of his lands and goods, his daughter Bona not having the right to sell or alienate them, Sparro, de Peire de Léparon, 2 esquire , has hatched to fraudulently obtain from Bona, who was and still is deaf and insane ( surda et furiosa ), a tenement called la Mayne Nuef le Maine Neuf with its vineyards and its other appurtenances, a tenement formerly owned by her father Hélias; Léparon promised to pay her a sum of money he has not yet paid to her, and he has took possession of this tenement and still unjustly occupies it to the great damage and obvious despoilment of Mainard de Mortemart's heirs who are orphans and minors, and have not enough to sustain themselves, so they request the king to provide a remedy on this matter.

1.: The father of Bona is called there 'Faure', while Bona is called 'Fauresse'. This latter family name existed in the Périgord of this period, particularly at Périgueux, so the name 'Faure' is probably a mistake from the scribe.

Huc Martin has supplicated the king that an annual revenue of 20 l.t. was granted to him and his wife Ricarda , as dowry of this latter, on the one house of Bordeaux where lived La Font Arnaut de Laffont ; and then Huc Martin and Ricarda peacefully received this revenue until [Edward of Woodstock], prince of Wales , then king's captain and lieutenant in the duchy of Aquitaine, seized this house into the king's hands because of the forfeiture of Arnaut de Laffont who joined the king's adversary of France, and gave it to Franciscus Frances Sarrazin who refused to pay this revenue to Huc Martin and his wife, so these latter requests the king to bring them remedy on this matter.

28 May 1357 . Burdeg' Bordeaux .

Grant by Edward [of Woodstock], eldest son of king of England and France, prince of Wales , duke of Cornwall and earl of Chester , to the Lyburnia mayor, sub-mayor, jurats and the inhabitants and all the community of the town of Libourne in return for their faithful service to the prince, and in answer to their petition that: first that they and their predecessors, to support their fortification, enclosure, necessities and other burdens have imposed taxes on measures of corn, wine, salt and other goods sold or loaded there, and they may now impose these charges with royal permission for the next thirty years from the day of the making of these letters, provided that the money is used for the fortification and enclosure of the town and other clear necessities and the levies are collected by two law-worthy men from the town chosen by the mayor and jurats who are to swear on the Gospels to collect them well and lawfully and expend them on nothing else;

Item the prince also wishes that law-worthy men chosen by the prince's father, the prince, or the seneschal of Gascony or the constable of Bordeaux, or their deputies, are to ascertain the title and nature of the holdings in land, houses and plots in the town are held in fee from their lord, the prince's progenitor and to the prince, by what title, and what payments and rents are due from them, so that each burgess and inhabitant of the town will be bound to pay the dues and rents to the lord each year, and the lord’s right will be observed;

And also the prince grants to the mayor and jurats that they are to have jurisdiction over weights and measures of corn, wine, salt, cloth, ulnage and everything else except for the weight of coinage; the weights and measures should be reasonably set as in other towns in the area and compared to the king’s exemplar in the town;

Also the prince grants at their request, that contracts and agreements between themselves and the burgesses of Saint-Émilion which provide that no vessel or ship whatever it is called is to unload at the port of Petra fixa Pierrefitte or at any other place within the jurisdiction of Saint-Émilion to carry or load wine or any other goods except at the port of Libourne , except for their own wines or wine from the vineyards of the burgesses or inhabitants of Saint-Émilion, just as is contained in letters of the king or a decree ( arresto ) between them and the inhabitants of Saint-Émilion, or of their predecessors, and the inhabitants of Saint-Émilion or their predecessors, under the royal seals, and those of the towns, as they assert, and the letter, contracts agreements will be observed.

The prince grants to the petitioners that no subject of his of whatever rank or status can erect or make a sea coast from the above limits or elsewhere except by royal grace or that of the prince which leads to the loss or prejudice of the petitioners or their goods. The prince is aware that the sea coast extends from Solaccum Soulac and Talemone Talmont to Libourne but not further in regard to any shipwrecks or the loss of wine or other goods and merchandise, though some of the prince's subjects wish and insist, allegedly, in an insult to the prince’s majesty and usurpation of the prince’s right and jurisdiction, to erect and make a sea coast in their jurisdictions, to the manifest prejudice of the supplicants. ¹

Also the prince grants to the petitioners that no royal baron nor any bayle or prévôt, nor officer or minister, nor the mayors or jurats of the towns may in future accept any false claims against the petitioners nor exercise jurisdiction over them or their goods except in cases of deeds known to have been done in their jurisdictions and the prince forbids it. All the above commands must be kept, saving the king’s majesty.

Grant by Edward [of Woodstock], eldest son of the king of England and France, prince of Wales, duke of Cornwall and earl of Chester, considering their past and present service and weighing their losses and expense suffered in the Gascon War, and that their town was founded on such land that within their jurisdiction for half a Gascon league and more, because of the poor land, corn and vines will not germinate and produce fruit with the fertility they need, which as a result the prince's forebears gave them the ancient liberty of trading salt, enriching and supporting their livelihoods as follows: namely that from the place called le Bec Dambes Bec d'Ambès to Libourne, and not from Libourne to Brageriacum Bergerac , salt could not be sold or unloaded except in Libourne, and at the two fairs at the feasts of Saint-Vincent at the town of Burgum Bourg . The prince makes known that he approves the petition of the mayor, jurats and inhabitants of Libourne, and allow them to use salt as above. No-one is to contravene this order. ²

By K.

1.: The reference to sea coast ( costa maris ) here seems to refer to lordly rights to wreck, which should have extended only as far as Libourne up the Gironde estuary, and which was being unlawfully designated further upstream by lesser lords and communities in prejudice of the prince and the people of Libourne.

And if anything has been unjustly taken to them, then they have to return it to them without delay, so that no complaint reaches the king again about it.

The king has learned that the Sanctus Emilianus mayor and burgesses of the town of Saint-Émilion made burgesses the men king's men living in the banlieue of Saint-Émilion and outside this jurisdiction and attracted them in the town's jurisdiction, usurping the other king's rights to the obvious great prejudice and despoilment of the king.

Thereafter, Johan de Galard succeeded to his father and did not fully paid this sum of 25 l. to the prévôt and his monastery, and he constantly broke this agreement in levying on the men of the monastery and their vassals and tenants taxes and tallages they did not have to pay, and he continues to demand to the prévôt, his men, vassals and tenants to repair the walls and moat of his Lymolio, de castle of Limeuil and to force these latter to cultivate his vineyards and lands, and does not stop committing other damages against the form of this agreement, so the prévôt of Trémolat supplicates the king to bring him a suitable remedy on this matter.

7 June 1358 . Westminster . For the mayor, jurats and community of the town of Saint-Émilion and the inhabitants of their banlieue .

Order to the seneschal of Gascony and the constable of Bordeaux to execute the first order of the king obtained at the prosecution of the mayor, jurats, community and inhabitants of Saint-Émilion, ¹ the letters of the prince of Wales and their confirmation by the king notwithstanding. ² Formerly, the Sanctus Emilianus mayor, jurats, community and inhabitants of Saint-Émilion and the inhabitants situated within the banlieue and prévôté of this town complained to the king that Ramon de Pellegrue , appointed by the king as prévôt of Saint-Émilion , has committed several damages, extortions and oppressions against the men of the town, banlieue and prévôté of Saint-Émilion, to their obvious impoverishment and destruction, and the king had ordered to the seneschal and the constable that having summoned before them Ramon de Pellegrue and heard the king's proctors, and if it happened by legitimate information that Pellegrue has behaved as complained and is guilty, they had to correct these excesses, then they had to remove Pellegrue and compelled him to compensate them, and they had to appoint a sufficient and suitable person at this office until the king ordered otherwise. ³ But the mayor, jurats, community and inhabitants of Saint-Émilion have informed the king that Edward [of Woodstock], prince of Wales , then king's captain and lieutenant in the duchy of Aquitaine, gave letters to Pellegrue pardoning him for all his felonies and forfeiture and protecting him from all penalties about them, letters which were confirmed by the king, ⁴ so they supplicate the king to provide them with a compensation about it.

Colomp Johan Colom, citizen of Bordeaux , has complained that the late Sicardus, Montguion Sicard de Montguyon and the late Guillaume [de Montguyon] , his son and heir, and their goods, were bound in 500 l.t. to be paid on certain terms to Miramanda, Mas, de Miramunda Dumas , his mother, ¹ as appears in the letters of Sicard and Guilhem made about it under the executory seal of Bordeaux, which sum of money is still not paid. And although Johan Colom has requested several times this sum of money to Ogerus, Montguion Auger de Montguyon , son of Sicard and heir of Sicard and Guillaume, this latter has refused to pay to Colom's damage, so Johan Colom has requested the king to bring a remedy on this matter. ²
