Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to? c. 1334, with reference to CChR 1327-41, p.305, a grant of 2 March 1334 to the merchants of Coventry that they be free from certain payments throughout the realm. However, the petition refers to a grant to the people of Coventry, not just the merchants, and although the handwriting would seem to date from the same general period, there is little to suggest the two are linked.
