Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1331, with reference to William de Herle and his companions, justices in Nottinghamshire. SC 8/17/822, which appears to represent a later stage in the proceedings, says that the conspiracy at Newark to disinherit Andrew took place on the Monday following the translation of St Thomas, in the fourth year of the present king's reign [July (whether Thomas the Apostle or Thomas a Becket) 1330], and mentions that the conspirators were later indicted before justices of oyer et terminer in Nottinghamshire who were appointed in 1331. This petition would then seem to date from 1330-1331.
