Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition clearly dates to the reign of Edward I, since it refers to Edmund, the king's brother (d.1296). An inquisition into this matter was ordered on 27 March 1279, but refers to William de Audley rather than Henry; presumably John de Audley had died and William was the 'heir' mentioned in the endorsement. John appears to have been alive in 4 Ed I (Yeatman, 'Feudal History of Derbyshire'), and hence this would suggest that the petition dates to the period 1276-1279.
