Note (Additional information about the record)
- Adam de Osgodeby was appointed as keeper on 4 June 1315 (CPR 1313-17, p.297), and the petition probably dates from soon after this appointment. The first petition appears to be a copy of an earlier complaint, upon which the second petition was based after the initial remedy seemingly failed. Since only the second petitioner is identified by name, it is unclear whether both are from the same individual, or refer to the same events.
