Note (Additional information about the record)
- The guard entry refers to this petition being potentially dated to 1347-8 because it is in a section of Rot. Parl., vol. II headed as being from a Hale manuscript of 21-22 Edward III (p.205). Although the guard entry rejects this date correctly for 1331, it fails to notice that the Arundel petition is actually not part of the Hale petitions but rather copied from a petition surviving in the Tower of London, so did not belong to the Hale dating range. The petition does appear to date to 1331, or be a copy of a petition of 1331, as parts two and three of the petition are subsequently granted, with enrolments of the grants surviving in the patent rolls (CPR 1330-4, pp.191 & 194).
