Handwritten medieval manuscript.

Translation

John de Leycestre states that he has served the king as sergeant-at-arms [a type of soldier] in their wars in Scotland, and is still ready to serve him. He asks that he might be given some bailiwick or office in aid of his sustenance, as the king promised to reward him at the siege of Berwick.
