Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1298 as the two writs recited in the petition are dates to 14 September 1297, and 14 September 1298 in their dating clauses. It is likely that both are for 1298, and the first dating to 26 Edward I is a scribal error for 27 Edward I as the king was not at Carlisle in September 1297, but he was in 1298.
