- The petition is likely to date to early in the reign of Edward II, but after 1310-11 when the earl of Lincoln died without male heirs. The events referred to in the petition seem to date from the period in the late 1290s, the earl of Lincoln being made Lieutenant of Gascony in December 1295, and in May 1299 was appointed one of the commissioners to negotiate a truce with the French, and this was concluded in May 1303
