Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c.1300, with reference to the death of Edmund, Earl of Cornwall (September 1300). The lands of the earldom were later granted to Queen Margaret, and it seems likely that the petition dates from between these two events. As also noted on the guard, it may be connected with a dispute between the abbot and the bailiffs over rights to a tithe of colts at Princes Risborough, settled in favour of the abbot in 1305, after the property had been granted to the queen (CCR 1302-7, pp.279-80; CIM 1219-1307, p.534 (no.1970)).
