Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition is dated on the guard to 1312-1322, as it dates from after the suppression of the Templars, but before the forfeiture of John de Mowbray. It might date from after his forfeiture - the fact that the complain is being made would be in favour of this, although the fact that the wood is not mentioned as being in the King's hand must be against it.
