Note (Additional information about the record)
- John de Loudham was Sheriff of Norfolk between 2 February 1328 and 5 December 1330. It is hard to tell from the petition whether he is still Sheriff: he is described as 'viscounte de Norff' whereas the Bailiffs are described as 'adonqe baillifs de Norwiz'. This is not conclusive, but a date of c. 1330 would seem reasonable, especially as, just at the edge of the damaged part of this petition, there is the name 'Roger de Mor...', which may be Roger de Mortimer.
