Note (Additional information about the record)
- CCR 1330-3 p.475 is dated 13 July 1332, and mentions that the orders given by the king in response to SC 8/70/3495 were ignored, and that he has had to repeat these orders. This petition may therefore date to 1332, as a memorandum of the previous petition and its response. It is unlikely to be the petition that gives rise to the later CCR 1333-7 p.49 (dated 5 June 1333), as this mentions payments made to Hugh le Despenser, and letters of acquittance for him, which are not mentioned in this petition.
