Note (Additional information about the record)
- Although this is dated to 1335 by the heading in Rot. Parl., vol II, p.90 noting these to be petitions in parliament for 9 Edward III, the date of the inquisition apparently made in response to this petition dates to 1327, so that this petition almost certainly dates to 1327 (CIM 1307-49,pp.984-5 (no.984)).
