Note (Additional information about the record)
- Petition mentions events occurring during the reign of the late king, Edward I. Therefore the petition must date to between the accession of Edward II in 1307 and the death of Roger de Macclesfield on 19 February 1309. The inquisition post mortem suggests a long-running dispute between Macclesfield and Sulton, the royal bailiff, over these estates, but Roger seems to have recovered the lands, since they were again seized by Sulton on Roger's death in 1309. Therefore the petition presumably dates from the early months of the reign, probably 1307 or 1308.
