Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to late 1326 or early 1327 as the petition is addressed to Queen Isabella and Duke Edward, though it is still seemingly in the reign of Edward II as the petition refers to the eleventh year of the current king. It is clearly part of the confused period when the reign of Edward II had not officially come to an end, but when power effectively lay with the queen.
