Note (Additional information about the record)
- CPR 1327-30 p.526 is dated at Woodstock, 18 May 1330.CPR 1327-30 p.537 is dated at Woodstock, 16 July 1330, so the petition might date to around this time.However CPR 1334-8 p.571, a licence for the petitioner to receive an honourable charge in the service of the church of Rome, dated at Hertford, 12 January 1338, mentions him as lord of Fespuche (Fosso Podio). Did he regain this castle, or is the petition later than 1338?A note on the guard dates this petition to '? C. 1330', with reference to SC 8/43/2146 and CPR 1334-8 p.571.As CCR 1330-3 p.335 (Westminster, 3 October 1331) makes clear, there are two Arnold de Durefords, father and son, so this petitioner may not be the same as that of SC 8/43/2145 and SC 8/43/2146. CCR 1339-41 p.546 (Andover, 4 October 1340), reveals that the elder is dead by that time.
