Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to 'c. 1327 seq.' with reference to SC 8/45/2229, from the petitioner's father, 'but temp. Ed. III'. Since it refers to Edward I as the grandfather of the present king, it is clearly from the reign of Edward III, and it seems likely that such a petition, attempting to revive an old claim, would be delivered in the first years of a new reign.
