Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to 1331 or shortly after. There is more than one petition on this matter and this petition refers to a request presented at a parliament in the 5th year of Edward III (1331). There was only one parliament held in 1331, and this was held in September at Westminster. If the close roll reference was in response to this first request, then this petition may be a little later.
