Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1326. References on the guard of SC 8/32/1579 associate this with mandates for the places where the staple was to be held and under what conditions (CPR 1324-7 p.269; CPR 1327-30 pp.98-99). These are dated 1 May 1326 and 1 May 1327 respectively. This petition could therefore be either from the end of the reign of Edward II or the beginning of that of Edward III.
