Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition can be dated to c. 1317 as the wardship of Berwick's heir was granted to Beche on 14 March 1317, and it is unlikely that the prior would have waited long to petition once it became clear that Beche was resisting payment of the rent (CPR 1313-17, p.627).
