Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is clearly very early, and Fraser suggests a date of 1264-1276 that was the period of Neville's tenure (Northumberland Petitions, pp.109-110 (no.84)). The petitioners requests that they can hold for the services that they did under the king's father, but it is not clear whether this is a petition of Henry III harking back to the time of King John, thus dating the petition more closely to 1264-1272, or a petition of the reign of Edward I dating the petition to 1272-1276.
