Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is not dated and does not seem to have supporting evidence. However, the petition does refer to the battle of Dundalk that occurred in 1318, and also to the land being forfeited by Mortimer and Lacy which puts it in 1322 or thereafter. In addition the petition is endorsed in French, and this make it likely to date to 1322 or later, so the date of c. 1322 has been adopted.
