Note (Additional information about the record)
- If the petition's reference to Gerard of Burton as being the then present prior's predecessor means his immediate predecessor, this petition must date to 1315-1321 when Peter of Weaverthorpe was prior.The date given on the evidence of Rot. Parl. JRS Phillips (PROME, Appendix of Unedited Petitions, 1307-1337 Rotuli Parliamentorum I, pp. 416-429, no. 26) dates this petition to 'Probably c.1315'. See also SC 8/8/368. A note on the petition dates it to 1315, which seems very early, presumably based on CFR 1307-19 p.225, dated 14 January 1315, though it is difficult to see how this affects the dating of this petition.
