Having heard the king's claim and arguments, they replied that they would fulfil his mandate in the following form and under the following conditions, with this added, that the king should cause amends to be made to them for certain injuries, oppressions and undue exactions committed upon them by the said Ellis and his ancestors contrary to their ancient accustomed liberties.

The form and conditions were as follows:—The king grants, at their instance, that if the son of the said Ellis de Brigerac, or [the brother] of the said Ellis, or any other, come to the king and demand the inheritance of the said Ellis as his heir, the king will do them justice by judgement of his court.

The custom which is called [omitted] shall not be taken there any more.

All customs and oppressions or exactions, unduly opposed by the lords of the said castle, shall by oath of five honest and indifferent knights and burgesses, be removed.

The king grants, at their instance, that all persons of the castle and honour of Genzak who have been against the king in arms in this war, shall have the king's peace and come to his service if they please; but those who will not shall henceforth be excluded from their rights and from the commonalty of the said castle and honour.

They shall have one notary public after the manner of the city of Bordeaux.

Further the king grants to them of his grace quittance of all prise of their own wines which they take to England, so long as the honour of Genzak is in his hands, except the ancient prise of two tuns, one before and one abaft the mast, and for each of these the price shall be paid. But the customs of money on every tun imposed in divers ports shall be paid by the merchants in the customary way.

All these things shall be observed so long as the honour of Genzac is in the king's hands. And if by judgement or the king's will, the king restore that honour to the right heirs, the king will first take security from such heirs that it be defined in his court which of the said articles and conditions ought to be kept and which abolished. To observe these thing's Peter Chaceporc, the treasurer, and Robert Waleraund, the steward, have sworn on the king's soul.

The knights and burgesses answered that they would fulfil the king's mandate under the following form and conditions, to wit, that the king should cause to be removed all undue exactions imposed by the lords of the castle and cause to be observed such customs as the knights and ten burgesses of the said castle should declare upon oath to be the right ancient customs; and that if the king should by judgement or by his will surrender the castle with the honour to the right heirs, he should first take security from them that definition be made in the king's court which of the following

/

articles, conditions, statutes or customs should be observed or abandoned. The said knights and burgesses elected for this made a deposition to the following effect, which William Reymundi de Genzak, sometime lord of the place, made customary or imposed upon the borough of Genzak at the constitution or construction of the borough, to wit:—

Whosoever of Genciak or the honour offers right before the lord ought to be received by him.

The lord has there justice of bloodshed and murder.

Whenever the lord goes beyond sea, the men of the place owe him for service 500s., and the same when he marries his daughter, and the same when he makes his son a knight.

For every pig killed and sold there Id. for bancagium, for every cow or ox, 2d.

For a salmon sold there Id.

At Whitsuntide every butcher owes the lord a fourth part of a ram, and every shoemaker (sabatarius) 12d. for sabatagium.

At the three fairs there, to wit, at St. Bartholomew, St. Stephen and St. Faith every year they owe the 20th and 30th (rendam et treytam) in the customary manner from those things which they bring for sale there.

Whenever the lord wishes to buy bread, wine or flesh or oats, he may receive it from the sellers provided that he pays the price within a month of the day of purchase. And the same touching the shoeing of horses.

For every conca of corn sold there on Thursday the lord has his hands hands full (plenus palmas) for mesurage, whether the corn be sold by measure or by estimation.

On all corn or wine sold or bought pedage is due, if it is drawn from the earth, unless the seller has the wine or corn from his own vineyards or tillage (agricultura).

In the said borough the lord kept the debetum vini, to wit, that every year for one month beginning at Easter, until Whitsunday, unless the lord wills no one shall sell wine in the borough of Genciac except the lord, and the lord can put a quartern (cartonem) at 1d. more than it shall be sold at at first, but at such time nevertheless the knights dwelling in the castle can sell their own wine to those willing to go to the tavern except to those of the town, likewise the foraney (foranex) that is those who are not of the castle or the borough, may sell their wine outside at the tavern in the time debeti vini provided that those of the borough do not buy in order to bring into the borough.

Anyone may be a tailor of cloth in the market who will.

If anyone injuriously kill or imprison anyone of Genzak or of the honour, he may not enter Genciac by the mandate of the lord or another until he have first made peace with him who has suffered injury, or, in his absence, with his friends.

/

If anyone of Genciac will protect (guidare) anyone, he can do so unless it be expressly prohibited or unless he whom he wishes to protect has taken or killed a man of the said place, and it is at the peril of the protector if the protected in passing through a place do any injury or damage.

If any stranger bring fish for sale at Genciac and anyone of Genciac meet him between la Rokam and la Solega, he may not buy fish from him except for his own eating.

If anyone of Genciac or of the honour wish to transfer his domicile, the lord ought not to prevent him, and he ought to have a space of 40 days wherein to transfer himself and his goods, and the lord ought to give him and his goods security in his whole district; and the lord ought not to take or expel anyone so long as he can establish his right (firmare jus).

From every judgement wherein the lord aggrieves a subject (obditum) at Genciac, the aggrieved can complain or appeal at the court of Bazas if the lord's judgement does not please him.

The lord ought to swear that he will keep the terms which they call los dexs and their good customs, and the good men of the place will swear afterwards to the lord that they will be good to him, straight (plani) and loyal (Iegales) as to a good lord.

The knights and burgesses ought to have the vendage on closes (rendagium pledurarum) and houses held of them in the borough or the district (ambaratis).

The knights may have in the port of Flaujagas, and in the port of Bogio and Gueytas, boats (fluves) to carry those wishing to cross the Dordogne, provided they pay the pedage where they ought.

The king, for the confirmation of all the aforesaid, has granted these letters to the said knights and burgesses for the said castle and honour, sealed with his seal and that of Edward his first-born son.
