Fitz Waryn was one of those who indicted Wedone in an inquisition into the death of Beauchamp, and Wedone by the maintenance of Despenser was pardoned, and he and others came and beat Fitz Waryn and burnt his house. He has been unable to prosecute his suit because of Despenser and Baldock's maintenance.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is unusual as it seems to be a complaint against Despenser and Baldock before their fall. It seems likely that this is later in the period of 1322-1326 as the events seem to have been committed over some time. A date of c. 1326 has been opted for.
