Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1322 as it is clearly in the aftermath of the baronial revolt and because responses to the petition can be found in the close rolls dating to 20 May 1322 (CCR 1318-1323, p. 451). John, Lord de Somery, died either on 1 July or 1 August 1322, according to the Complete Peerage, and the barony then became extinct.
