Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition may date closely to 1315 by the title contained in Rot. Parl., vol I, p.289 which notes this as being 'Responses made in the presence of the king and his great council in the parliament of the king after the Octave of St Hillary, in the 8th year'. However as the petition recorded on Rot. Parl., vol I, p.304a-b is not the same petition, this petition would appear to be either a slightly earlier or later attempt to gain remedy.
