Note (Additional information about the record)
- Although this petition is clearly closely related to SC 8/30/1500, and was probably presented at the same time, Petitions Relating to Wales, pp.40-1, seems less certain about the dating, dating it only to c. 1327-1328 - presumably with reference to CCR 1327-30 pp.294-295, dated at Northampton, 17 May 1328. However, it seems likely that the two petitions are probably contemporary.
