Note (Additional information about the record)
- Although the petition makes mention of events that occurred in the 47th year of the reign of Henry III (1262-3), the petition also refers to a complaint brought by the petitioner before Saloman de Rochester and other justices in eyre. Rochester's eyre was held in 1286-7 as the surviving rolls show, so it is unlikely that the petition is much later, so a date of c. 1286 seems acceptable (JUST 1/832-3).
