Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition must date from after 1317, the date of the burning of the suburbs of Dublin to prevent cover being given to the Scots. A note at the start of this file, dated 5 May 1932, states that 'Nos. 4351-4364 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'. This petition is therefore tentatively dated to 1320.
