Note (Additional information about the record)
- The document refers both to King Henry 'your father' and to Richard de Middleton 'your chancellor'. Middleton, archdeacon of Northumberland, was the last chancellor of Henry III, but was replaced almost immediately by Edward. This probably dates the petition to the early months of Edward I's reign.
