Note (Additional information about the record)
- CPR 1307-13 p.480 is dated 18 July 1312. This does not mention a previous grant, but neither does CPR 1313-17 p.287, dated 10 May 1315, and apparently in response to SC 8/55/2748. Petitions Relating to Wales, pp.75-6 admits the possibility that this is another petition from 1315, but suggests that 1312 is more likely.
