Note
The date of this petition appears to be 1316. The guard comment on this petition goes into some detail about the chronology of this and the related petitions and documents, and dates this slightly later than Rees who opts for c. 1314-15 (Petitions Relating to Wales, p.91). However as this petition clearly refers to the writ, a copy of which is found as SC 8/62/3094, which is dated to 26 December 1315, Rees must be mistaken, and the date entered on the guard is almost certainly correct.
