Note
The petition's dating in the guard note is not entirely illegible, but appears to be a year in the 1320s and based on a reference in the Miscellaneous inquisitions which is also incomplete. There are no relevant references in CIM 1307-49 upon which to base this dating, only three references to the petitioner acting in a different capacity (CIM 1307-49, nos.922, 1069, 1129). The earliest of these dates to 1326, and the latest to 1330, so that a dating range of 1326-1330 has been selected.
