Note (Additional information about the record)
- The guard note suggest 1323. The petition is likely to be sometime after 1323, for Henry le Scrope, the justice north of the Trent, was ordered to take back into his hand the forest that had been disafforested against Henry III's charter of the Forest. This would have included the Galtres lands, so that the petition is likely to be late 1323 or more likely 1324.
