Note (Additional information about the record)
- John de Drokenesford was Bishop of Bath and Wells between 1309 and 1329. A note on the guard dates this petition to around 1320, with reference to CPR 1317-21 p.89, which contains references to John de Trethagu, Stephen de Hakcombe, and John Randolf from October 1317. And a note at the start of this file, dated 3 May 1932, states that 'The petitions in this file are copied in R. C. Transcripts I. 156, and appear to form 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': 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.
