Note (Additional information about the record)
- The details appear to correspond to the clerical tenth granted to Edward III by the York convocation on 13 October 1327. This tax was granted on the explicit condition that property destroyed by the Scots was re-assessed to take into account the decline in value. Writs ordering the appointment of such assessors were issued to the Archbishop of York on 14 November and 22 December 1327, in precisely the terms requested in the petition. Dated on the guard to?1315 or?1323, but this seems incorrect.
