Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition has to date to after February 1318 when the manor was granted to the earl of Mar. The guard suggests that the petition may date to 1320 like other petitions in the file, though there is no evidence to confirm this. The adoption of a date of c. 1318 takes in the possibility of this later date.
