Note (Additional information about the record)
- Datable to the episcopate of Peter Quinel, bishop of Exeter (1280-91), referred to in the petition. The comments on the guard suggest a narrower date of c. 1283 referring to Dugdale's Monasticon and to the king's presence in Wales, and this remains a strong possibility.
