Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to the reign of Edward II, and possibly to c. 1322, on the grounds that the petitioner might be the Master Roger de Heyton, king's surgeon, who is granted custody of a town in Merioneth on 1 March 1328 (CPR 1327-30 p.244), and who is sent to the Abbot of St Albans to receive maintenance on 23 June 1329 (CCR 1327-30 p. 555) - but, as the note points out, there is no evidence that this is the same man. He might equally well be the Roger de Hayton juxta Lodelowe who is pardoned for the death of Stephen de la Mare and any consequent outlawry on 8 January 1323 (CPR 1321-4 p.234). From the hand and the French endorsement, the petition certainly seems likely to date from late Edward II, or possibly early Edward III (if the petitioner is not the king's surgeon).
