Note
Dated on the guard to '? c. 1324' with no further explanation. This would certainly seem to fit the hand and the French endorsement, but there does not seem to be much evidence to connect all the petitions transcribed in PRO 31/7/99 with this year.The wording of SC 8/95/4720, both petition and endorsement, is very similar.
