Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition can be dated to 1319-1322 on the basis of the reference to parliaments made in the response to the petition. The Lincoln parliament referred to in the response was held in Hillary 1316, and the York parliament could be one of a number held at York between Michaelmas 1318 and November 1322. Sayles thought that the date had to be between 1319 and 1322, and as the petition is answered in Latin, the date of 1322 seems a relatively safe terminus (SCCKB, vol. III, p.cxvi).
