Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is probably close in date to a similar petition by the same petitioner that dates to June 1324 (CCW 1244-1326, p.556). Additionally the petition is attempting to gain redress for actions made by Roger de Mortimer when he was justice of Wales which must date this petition to the period 1322-1326 as such a complaint would be unthinkable before or after this date when the Mortimers were in power.
