Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition must date to 1323 or shortly thereafter as the petition refers to the forfeitures of the rebels in 15 Edward II which has to be 1322, and then an order on the 12 February that must be 1323 or even 1324. In addition the petitioners describe themselves as 'late the keepers of forfeited land' so that 1323-1324 is probably the earliest this petition can be.
