Description:
Petitioners: John de la Rue Maiour, brother of Bernard John of Rue Maiour, citizen of Bayonne.
Name(s): Rue Maiour, John
Addressees: King and council.
Nature of request: The petitioner requests that the king will have council as to how the merchants of Bayonne are able to be paid for the loss of the ship and cargo that was taken by the Genoese off of Dover, or that have the king's mark so that they can recover their losses. They have applied to the king at Dunfermline and have taken the king's letters to Genoa concerning this, and have produced letters of Bayonne.1)
Nature of endorsement: The king is not advised to grant letters of marque, but let them have letters of supplication as before if they wish to have them.2) Petitions of Gascony.
Places mentioned: Bayonne, [Gascony, France]; Dover, [Kent]; Flanders; Genoa, [Italy]; Calais, [France]; Dunfermline, [Fife, Scotland]; Stirling, [Stirlingshire, Scotland].
People mentioned: John de Celen; Bidau Brane.
Note: The petition is dated to 1305-1306 as this petition seems to be part of an original file of Gascon petitions - SC 8/338/E1217-SC 8/338/E1260 - for which SC 8/338/E1228 seems to have been the cover petition. The dating of this group of documents is arrived at by the possibility of more closely dating several of the petitions in this group, and these are noted when necessary. In addition, almost all of the petitions bear the old PRO references to Diplomatic Documents 1542 and 1548.
Date: [1305-1306]
