Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition must date to c. 1300 as the petition makes mention of several dates in the details it gives in the progress of the petitioner's suit from 23 through 28th years of Edward I, so cannot be earlier than 1299. The guard comments suggest that the petitioner was dead by 1304, so providing a terminus ante quem.
