Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition probably dates to before 1331 for the writ in the close rolls is as a result of a petition by the archbishop to have the debt owed for his time in Gascony against that which he owed the king for his time as treasurer of the Exchequer of Dublin, and therefore presumably represents a further stage in the process of the archbishop's claim (CCR 1330-3, pp.113-4).
