Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition has to date to before 1322 as Roger Mortimer of Chirk was justice of Wales in a more-or-less continuous period from 1308-22. In addition a quay seems to have been built by 1322 as a close roll reference refers to repairs to the quay then (CCR 1318-23, p.415). A note included in the file relating to this petition also suggests this date as the Record Commission Transcript of the petition is included with other petitions of this period.
