Summary

Two letters concerning the territories of the late Amaury de Sevrac. First letter, dated 26 August 1446, is from King Charles VII of France to his councillors and treasurers.

Second letter, dated 18 January 1446 [sic; i.e. 1447], is from the royal treasurers to the seneschal of Rovergue, instructing him to carry out the king's wishes.
