Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1333 by the heading in Rot. Parl., vol II, p.70, though this is from a post-medieval transcript, so the exact date is unclear. In addition the context of the petition suggests a somewhat earlier date, as Balderston and Shireburn had been appointed by Edward II in March 1324 to settle the forfeited estates following the battle of Boroughbridge, and had had the power to make leases for seven years in these lands (see CFR 1319-27, p.265). Clearly Normanville had one of these leases from them. If he had the lease in 1324, then this should not be after 1331.
