Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is difficult to date, but the hand, and the use of a French endorsement in the response provided on the dorse of SC 8/108/5372B, suggests that it is unlikely to be before the 1320s, and is assigned notionally to the second quarter of the fourteenth century.
