Document 3/700/0 (CDS, ii, no. 1874)

Description
The community of Galloway supplicate the king and council that as they are grieved and annoyed by a strange and ‘ycortenuse’ law called ‘surdit de sergaunt’, disused since King Alexander’s time and for a year before his death, which the barons and great lords of the country are now enforcing, he would give them peace therefrom, seeing that the bulk of the Galwegians are the king’s lieges and none other’s wherefore no great lord should impose such a burden on them.
