Document 5/3/0 (CDS, v, no. 465)
- Description
- Letter from Henry de Percy, king’s lieutenant in the counties of Dumfries, Wigtown and Ayr, to James de Dalilegh. Orders him to pay Sir John Botetourt £13 which he spent on the carriage of engines and other necessities for the taking of the castle of Dunaverty. Because Ayr castle is burned and demolished by the king’s enemies, so that no one can stay in it nor keep it unless it is repaired, he orders him to send hastily masons and other suitable workmen to repair it, with a clerk who can oversee the costs with the sheriff, the writer will make allowances to Dalilegh for the costs. The prince has sent certain men to the writer at Kintyre. Because he has nothing for them to do in these parts, he wishes Dalilegh to pay their wages and those of their leaders, Sir William de Ponton and Master Thomas the engineer for 2 or 3 days for their expenses in going from Ayr to Carlisle.
