Note
Bain, vol.III no.1470, dates this petition to 1346, but the name of the clerk Adam de Lymbergh on the dorse suggests that it is from the time of Edward II. A note inserted into this file, written by R. L. Atkinson on 3 May 1932, reads, 'Nos. 4270-4300 are copied in R.C. Transcripts I 156, and apparently from part of an original file of petitions to the parliament of Michaelmas 1320. Cf. Parl. Proc. (Chancery) 5/4'. C 49/5/4 is merely a label, 'The petitions of William de Herlaston from the King's parliament held at Westminster at the octave of Michaelmas in his fourteenth year, which were answered by the auditors of petitions, delivered into Chancery to be expedited': obviously this does not apply to this petition, as it was handled by Lymbergh rather than Herlaston. Nevertheless, this petition is tentatively dated to 1320, as many of those in the file that can be dated seem to come from that year.
