Note (Additional information about the record)
- Edward II was at Upholland in October 1323 (various documents are dated there in CPR 1321-4 pp.343-7). Humphrey de Walden and John de Lancastre are also attested to at about this date (in separate documents in CPR 1321-4 p.256, for example, dated 25 November and 2 December 1322). The 'last Michaelmas' is then probably Michaelmas 1323, and the petition then dates to some time before Michaelmas 1324.
