Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1320 as the keeping of the castle and forest of Windsor to Camoys was only made on 22 February 1320, and it is likely that the petition would then be presented later in 1320, or in the following year or two (CFR 1319-27, p.18).
