Note (Additional information about the record)
- Fraser dates this to c. 1331-2. However it seems very likely that this must date to the parliament in September 1331 or less likely to the parliament of late January 1332 because a record of a grant of the lands during pleasure survives dated to 27 February 1332 which almost certainly is in response to the petition (CFR 1327-37, p.302). There is a reference to this petition in PROME Appendix of Unedited Petitions, 1307-1337, Rotuli Parliamentorum I, pp. 442-59 that is clearly wrong, and that seems to be based on a misreading of a handwritten note in a copy of Rotuli Parliamentorum.
