Note (Additional information about the record)
- Acknowledgements in the ancient deeds for money collected by the abbot and handed over to Clifford are dated in January 1310, and appear once to have accompanied this petition. The tax was granted in October 1307 and due in March and June 1308, but was beset by delays. However, as Clifford is stated to have since died, the petition must date to some point after Clifford's death at Bannockburn in 1314.
