Note (Additional information about the record)
- 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).CCR 1318-23::p.325 is dated at Langley, 14 August 1320, mentions the executors of Piers atte See, so he must have been dead by then. CCR 1318-23 p.396 is a letter to the bailiffs of Ravenser Odd on the same matter, dated at Westminster, 26 August 1321. It mentions the complaint of Piers atte See, amongst others, but not that he is dead. The petition seems likely therefore to date to 1322.
