Note (Additional information about the record)
- A note at the beginning of file 82 states that all of the petitions in this file appear to belong to the year 1320. There is no evidence to confirm or deny this. Rees was more reticent and opted for a date of Temp. Edw. II (Petitions Relating to Wales, pp.117-18). The response is in French, and this normally occurs after 1322, but examples can be found before this, so it is quite possible for this to be 1320.
