- Northumberland Petitions pp.232-4 (no. 207) dates this petition to 1289-90, which is consistent with the appearance of legal proceedings resulting from it on the roll of the parliament of Easter 1290 (Rot. Parl. Vol. I pp.26b-29b; PROME, roll 01, introduction). PROME, roll 01, appendix, no. 23 calls this 'The petition which led to these proceedings and which was evidently written during the king's absence in Gascony'.
