- The petitioner's uncle was imprisoned in 7 Edward II (8 July 1313 - 7 July 1314) and released by Edmund Mauley, who was Steward between February 1313 and April (?) 1314. Elizabeth, Countess of Hereford, died on 5 May 1316: as the petition seems to imply that she is alive, it would seem to have been presented between 1314 and 1316.
