Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1322 as it is clearly in the aftermath of the failed baronial revolt as it refers to John de Mowbray as an enemy of the king, and he was one of the leading rebels. In addition the petition refers to events on 25 November 1321.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).
