Note (Additional information about the record)
- SC 8/52/2563, ordering an inquisition to be held on this matter is dated 8 February 5 Edward III (1331), and the inquisition itself, SC 8/52/2564, is dated 8 May in the same year. It is clear from SC 8/52/2565 that this petition was presented to a parliament held at Westminster, which would appear to be that of November 1330.This petition is said in SC 8/52/2569 to have been presented at the parliament on the morrow of St Catherine in the third year of the king's reign: but there was no parliament held in November 1329, although that of 1330 was held on the morrow of St Catherine (26 November). From this, and from the other evidence above it is clear that the petitioners or scribe must have got the year wrong.
