Note
The petition is dated to 1322 because it refers to Maurice de Berkely, the father being in the king's hand, and this is clearly after the failed baronial revolt of that year.One of a collection of petitions published on pages 387ff of Rot. Parl., vol I., which all seem to date from around 1322. This dating is confirmed by PROME, Appendix of Unedited Petitions, 1307-1337, Rotuli Parliamentorum I, pp. 387-415, which dates these petitions to 15 or 16 Edward II (1321-1323).
