Note
The petitioner says that she was first indicted on the morrow of St Lucy 33 Edward I (14 December 1304). The later indictments took place after St Dunstan (19 May) in the same year, and at St Bartholomew (24 August), presumably in the same year. She was released from imprisonment at the Nativity of the Virgin (8 September), and as she describes her indictment at the feast of St Batholomew as 'ore', she is presumably petitioning shortly after these events.
