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). However, it must date to some point after Mowbray's imprisonment in February 1322, and probably soon after the Battle of Boroughbridge in March 1322.
