Note (Additional information about the record)
- If the Langley family referred to here are the landed family in Warwickshire and Oxfordshire of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, then this petition must date after the death of John de Langley in 1326, when his son, Master Thomas Langley, took charge of the estate. CCR 1327-30, p. 7, provides a terminus a quo, but it probably dates to the early years of Edward's reign. See dating information for the related petition SC 8/56/2789.
