Note
The petition is very similar in form to SC 8/50/2486. That petition has to date to 1318 or thereafter because it refers to debts from 1-11 Edw. II. This petition refers to sums owed from the time of Edward I. However the petition is so similar, and response to both almost identical so that it is quite possible that the two petitions are contemporary or near contemporaries.
