Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1322 because it is clearly in the aftermath of the failed baronial revolt as the petition makes reference to an adherent of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, one of the leading rebels.One of a collection of petitions published on pages 387ff of Rot. Parl., vol I., which all seem to date from around 1322.
