Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1322 as the seizure of the ward in the castle of Crickhowell occurred in the aftermath of the failed baronial revolt.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).
