Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition seems to date to c. 1327. The actual date is based on the guard dating, but Berkeley was involved in a violent dispute with the mayor and several officials of Bristol concerning his right to hold a court in the suburbs of Bristol for which a commission of oyer and terminer was made in August 1330 where Fraunceys appears as one of the bailiffs (CPR 1327-30, p.571).
