Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition clearly dates to after the fall of the Despensers as it refers to the fall of the earl. It is likely that it dates to 1327 in the first year of the reign of the new king. The petition cannot be later than 1328 because Gardinis was dead by October in that year (CCR 1327-30, p.419).
