Details of SC 8/330/E992
Reference: SC 8/330/E992
Description:
Petitioners: Pierre Viger, valet.
Name(s): Viger, Pierre
Addressees: King.
Occupation: valet
Nature of request: Viger claims certain rights in Maremne which he has by right of charters of the comte de la Marche and Queen Isabel, and of the comet de Poitiers, the which have been withheld by the bailiffs there, and he requests that the charters be confirmed.
Nature of endorsement: [The response is only just visible under the portion of the guard attached to the petition].Petition of Pierre Viger, valet of Gascony.
People mentioned: William Salomon; [Hugh de Lusignan], comte de la Marche; Isabel [of Angouleme], Queen of England and wife of the comte de la Marche et Angouleme; Amfort (Alphonse) [Capet], comte de Poitiers.
Note: The petition is dated to c. 1317-c. 1330 because the petition appears to be part of a file of Gascon petitions that date to this approximate date (SC 8/330/E979-E994). Few of the petitions 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.
Date: [c. 1317-c. 1330]
