Note (Additional information about the record)
- Madoc states that this land had been held by him himself for a total of 13 years (under both the present king and the king's father), until he was disseised by Robert de Eccleshall, sheriff of Merioneth. Eccleshall was sheriff in 1296-1300, 1302-6 and 1309-14, and thus the only period when he was sheriff during the first thirteen years of a reign was in the period 1309-14 (Petitions Relating to Wales, pp.96-7). Since Eccleshall is not described as the 'former sheriff', the petition presumably dates from within that period.
