Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition probably dates to 1327 when Vaux did have respite until Easter by an order directed to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer, and to the sheriff of Norfolk (CCR 1327-30, p.224). However, Vaux had been the recipient of respites as far back as 1325 on the same matter, so it is possible that this petition may date to a year or so around 1327 (CCR 1323-7, p.443).
