Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to? c. 1283; but the hand is not thirteenth-century, and it is unlikely that the petition dates from before the Taxation of Pope Nicholas in 1291. On the basis of the hand, it seems more likely that the internal reference is to the eleventh year of Edward III, and a date of c. 1340 is therefore proposed here.
