Note (Additional information about the record)
- An order to seize the goods of the late Roger de Blaksale was issued on 6 November 1324 (CFR 1319-27, p.303), although he seems to be alive at the time of the petition. Walden was appointed as keeper of Hadleigh castle, amongst others, on 26 April 1320, Blakesale on 22 July 1321 (although not succeeding Walden), and Walden on 8 March 1324 (although replaced by 20 August 1324). The petition presumably dates from this period.
