Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition has no supporting evidence, and has been dated by the guard notes to c. 1320 as much of the contents of this file are of around that date. As the petition is endorsed in French it is quite likely to be after 1322, so a date of c. 1322 has been adopted but this must be treated with caution.
