Note (Additional information about the record)
- The writ for the inquisition (CIM 1307-49 no. 738) is dated 10 January 17 Edward II [1324], and the crime is said to have taken place on the Wednesday in Passion week 16 Edward II [1323]. The petition can therefore be dated to 1323-1324, more probably to 1323, as CIM 1307-49 no.738 says that Maud immediately journeyed to court to seek the King's peace.
