Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition has been dated rather speculatively to c. 1284 based on an entry in the close rolls relating to action taken against Robert de Fulham for debts owed to the king that he had not properly acquitted (CCR 1279-88, p.276). However, this reference seems to have no direct relevance to the petition.
