- Nature of request
- Bevercote requests that the king order that he be paid for the arrears of his fee for when he was chancellor in Scotland by assignment or in another manner so that he is able to settle his debts for sums that he borrowed in expectation of payment.
- Nature of endorsement

Note (Additional information about the record)
- Bevercotes does not seem to have been chancellor after 1316, so the petition must date to then or thereafter. In addition a writ dating to 22 February 1316 was issued to the treasurer and chamberlain to pay a smaller sum than Bevercotes had requested as his arrears (C 62/92 m.2).
