Note (Additional information about the record)
- From the style of the writing this petition would seem to date to the early fourteenth century. The petition probably dates to the October parliament of 1318, as this petition may be the one noted in E 175/1/22 m.3d. As Berwick was captured in April 1318 by the Scots, a date of 1318 for this petition does not seem unreasonable.
