Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition may date to 1327 as another claim from the petitioner for a larger sum of money owed to him was satisfied on 3 July (CCR 1327-30, pp.139-40). In addition the first petition refers to the lordship of Hugh le Despenser the younger, a matter that was not likely to appear in petitions before the Despensers' fall.
