Note (Additional information about the record)
- Petitions Relating to Wales p.127, dates this petition to 1327-9, after Mortimer's return from exile. The grant of the wardship to him of the heirs of Nicholas Audley is dated February 1327, Fine Roll 1327-1337 p. 20. The writ for CIPM, vol. VI p.56 is dated 6 December 10 Edward II (1316), and the petition must date from after this. 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'.
