Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition probably dates to the period 1325 to 1327 as there was a long vacancy between the death of John Salmon and the elevation of William Ayermine, the short pontificate of Robert Baldock between August and September 1325 not really counting. A date of c. 1325 does not seem unreasonable.
