Note (Additional information about the record)
- CPR 1301-1307, p.429, dated at Wolvesey 21 April 1306, is permission to elect a new abbot given to the monks of St Peter's, after the death of John de Gamages. That he is the abbot mentioned here can be seen from an entry on the same page, dated at Wolvesey, 28 April 1306, where Robert de Bardelby is presented to the church of St Ishmaels, while St Peter's is in the king's hand. (CPR 1301-1307, p.430 (dated Wolvesey, 3 May 1306) is the king's assent to the election of John Thoky as abbot, and CPR 1301-1307, p.432 (dated at Farnham, 16 May 1306) is the instruction to the escheator to restore the abbey's temporalities to him.) Thus this petition must be dated 1306 at the latest, and, as Henry of Lancaster was born c. 1281, cannot be much before 1298.
