Note (Additional information about the record)
- Edited in Rot. Parl. vol.I, p.278a-b (no. 18) as belonging to the years 1308-1309. PROME, Appendix of Unedited Petitions, 1307-1337, Rotuli Parliamentorum I, pp. 273-280, no. 28 confirms this date as probable. The place name is now missing, but Rot. Parl. Vol.I, p.278 (Hales' transcript) gives the name as 'Godichestre', which is probably Good Easter where St Martin's held a prebend.
