Note
CPR 1327-30 p.380 is dated at Wallingford, 4 April 1329, so the petition must date from between then and 1334. As the gift was at the request of Queen Isabella, it seems possible that Robert was deprived of his offices following her downfall in 1330. A note on the guard, however, makes the tentative suggestion of 1333.
