Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition seems to fit into the period of administrative reform initiated by Edward I following his return from the continent in 1289 (Prestwich, Edward I, pp.339-42). The petition cannot be any later than November 1289 as the petition clearly refers to Chelesfeld still being sheriff. Chelesfeld had been sheriff since October 1286 (List of Sheriffs, p.67).
