Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition seems likely to date to the period immediately after 1327. The petition refers to the forfeiture of Despenser that occurred in 1327 and seems to be after the year's waste of the manors that is also referred to in the petition. Although one of the manors was granted to John de Ros, the steward of the Household in March 1327, it seems unlikely that this petition comes from the pontificate of Bishop Bury after 1333 (CPR 1327-30, p.105).
