Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition presents problems for dating. Rees dates the petition to 1308-20. However, the petition is answered in Anglo-Norman, and this does not become standard until after 1322. While it is not impossibly for the petition to date to before 1322 with such a response, a later date seems more reasonable.
