Note (Additional information about the record)
- Date given on the evidence of Rot. Parl. vol. I, p.418a, no. 5. JRS Phillips (PROME, Appendix of Unedited Petitions, 1307-1337) says that these petitions probably all do belong to 18 Edward II, although there is no indication that they were presented either at the non-parliamentary assembly of October 1324 or the parliament of June 1325.This is reinforced by CCR 1323-7 p.159 (dated at Fulham, 23 February 1324), p.316 (dated at Guildford, 8 October 1324), p.500 (dated at Havering-atte-Bower, 8 August 1325) and p.658 (dated at Kenilworth, 28 December 1326), which show that there was a dispute between the archbishops on the subject at this time.
