Note (Additional information about the record)
- Although much of the rest of this file seems to date 1320, this petition appears to be very slightly later, dating to 1321 or shortly thereafter. The events of the archbishop's loss of the wardship are noted in an order to Mortimer of 22 May 1319, but the first two lines of the petition suggest that Mortimer was no longer justice of Ireland, and he was replaced in February 1321 (CCR 1318-23, p.70; CPR 1317-21, p.558). The petition has therefore been assigned the date of c. 1321.
