Note (Additional information about the record)
- This is difficult to date. A Robert Fitz Walter was a minor and in the custody of the king in March 1329, and as late as 1333 in various entries in the patent and close rolls. Whether this is the petitioner, and the petition dates to after he came of age, or it is the son of the petitioner is not clear. If the latter, this petition cannot date to any later than 1329, and no earlier than 1327.
