Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition refers to parliaments at Northampton and at Westminster in the reign of Edward III, the petition cannot be earlier than February 1329, and if it was presented at Parliament, then the petition must either date to the July parliament at Windsor, or to the Winchester parliament of March 1330 at the earliest. Much of the process is recorded in 1328 in the patent rolls, so that the matter must have dragged on for a further year from then (CCR 1327-30, pp.250, 297).
