Note
Dated on the guard to '? c. 1324' with reference to SC 8/67/3336, SC 8/66/3300, and SC 8/136/6764, but SC 8/67/3336 and SC 8/66/3300 are not very helpful in dating the petition: although, from the similarities in the language, SC 8/67/3336 would seem to be contemporary. However, it is clearly from Edward II's reign, and, from the French endorsement, probably from the 1320s.
