Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition probably dates to 1318 or thereafter, but no later than 1322 as the petitioner refers to his house being ruined by war, which presumably is a reference to the Bruce wars in Ireland that ended in 1318, and the petition is answered in Latin which suggests a date before 1322.
