Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated in the dating clause to 12 March, but the year is lost. However a patent roll entry does survive for 24 March 1327 which makes the same grant. Although the difference in date is difficult to explain, it seems unlikely that there would be two such grants, and this petition should date to 1327 (CPR 1327-30, p.61).
