Thank you again! From a later document, I know that these items were in two chests in a tower room, where some armor was also stored.  I wonder if armures could mean the armory room.  I also wondered if it could be armoire.

Yes, I think that's a better interpretation.

Sorry, yes that is the document. And it is Robert Gyen, Burgess, of Bristol.

Also, you might want to change the thread title from Latin to French, as there is no Latin here, and we have some very good French speakers who may have ignored this thread until now.

I've no experience yet with French from that time, but I also never had to read that kind of handwriting. So I would have to 'learn' these letters first.
