Note (Additional information about the record)
- William de Louth, Bishop of Ely, died on 25 March 1298. The Archbishop of Canterbury then, and so probably the predecessor of the current Archbishop mentioned in this petition, was Robert Winchelsey. He died on 11 May 1313, and after the appointment of Thomas Cobham was quashed in on 1 October 1313, was succeeded by Walter Reynolds, who received the temporalities on 3 January 1314. This means that this petition seems likely to date from around 1314, especially if it is taken to read that it was the court of the previous Archbishop that the petition was recently transferred from.
