Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to 1307-1320 as the petition is clearly of Edward II's reign from internal evidence referring to a grant by Edward I to the petitioner's father and Elizabeth his wife, and can be no later than c. 1320 when Bohun moved towards opposition to Edward II's regime. It is likely to be a petition close to the latter end of this range of dates.
