Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition would seem on the basis of an entry in the fine rolls to date to 1325 when the escheator was ordered to deliver the lands in Eastbourne to Selidde (CFR 1319-27, pp.365-6). However, this does not seem to fit with the petition that requests the return of land in the king's hand by Badlesmere's forfeiture. A complaint against Badlesmere would more likely be made in 1322, and it is possible that the return of the land was as a result of subsequent action by Selidde. A date of c. 1322 would take in both dates.
