Note (Additional information about the record)
- There seems to be no direct evidence for the dating of this petition. However Brembre was recorded as a clerk of the wardrobe in the 1290s and a king's clerk in 1298, and was presented to the church of Northbury in 1305. The petition may be after this, but the guard comments do suggest that this could be as late as 1319 (CPR 1292-1301, p.389; CPR 1301-7, p.371).
