Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1322 as a writ of aid was issued to Robert de Ardern who had been appointed to arrest Vere, and for Vere's lands in Northamptonshire to be taken into the king's hand on 16 March 1322 (CPR 1321-4, p.82). However, the petition is likely to date to late 1322 or more probably 1323 or 1324 when Vere would have had good reason to complain of the failure to deliver him from prison.
