Note (Additional information about the record)
- Henry de Guildford and his colleagues held an eyre in the Channel Islands in 1304 (Crook, Records of the General Eyre, p.192), and it seems likely that the petition dates from shortly afterwards. It seems likely that the lands, as with others in the Channel Islands, were taken into the king's hands due to conflict with France.
