Note (Additional information about the record)
- Although one might only expect that someone would complain of the Despensers after their fall, there is no hint in this petition that they are dead, and indeed the petition suggests that they are alive as it makes mention of no further letters of great men being granted. The petition is likely to date to the period of Despenser ascendancy between 1322-6.
