Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is likely to date to 1331 when an inquisition was held concerning the burgesses of Lanpadarne's complaints about having to go to the court of Carmarthen. It is possible that though the petitioners named in the petition are rather vaguely described, that they were in fact these burgesses (CIM 1307-49, 1243).
