Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition has been dated to? 1324-? 1335 on the basis of the separate datings of the petition found on the guard, and by Rees. Rees opted for a dating of? 1324 presumably as this was the date of Edward II's confirmation of the charter (Petitions Relating to Wales, p.254). The guard dating is not explained. The hand of the petition appears correct for the date range, and the petition is answered in French so that it is likely to be after 1322, otherwise neither date is particularly well supported.
