Note
The grant is dated with the petition to which it was appended to 1291-1307 as the grant itself dates to 1291 and the petition cannot predate it, and the petition is clearly of Edward I's reign (SC 8/120/5969). It is likely that the petition is earlier in this range than later. The grant itself is dated in its dating clause to 12 July 1291.
