Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated tentatively to 1320 by the heading in Rot. Parl., vol I, p.365 for the parliament held on Monday in the octave of St Michael, 14 Edward II. However, the petition found in Rot. Parl., vol I, p.372b (no. 14) is not the same petition as found here, as there are minor differences in the Latin summary, and the endorsement is completely different, it is possible that the two are not mere duplicates differently answered, but different petitions on the same matter presented at different times.
