Note (Additional information about the record)
- The tax referred to in the petition may refer to a number of the subsidies collected for Edward III's wars after 1332; a date range of 1332-1360 is suggested here, given that the hand is unlikely to be later than 1360; given that the petition is addressed to the council it is likely to be from one of the periods within this date range when Edward III was absent from the realm.
