Note (Additional information about the record)
- The guard notes suggest that this petition should be dated to c. 1322 and that it followed Edward II's replacement of Roger Mortimer of Chirk as justice of Wales in January 1322 (CFR 1319-27, pp.86-7). There seems no reason to date this as late as 1330-1 as Rees has done (Petitions Relating to Wales, p.48).
