Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? c. 1330-1331 on the basis of the guard note. Though the hand fits this dating, it is not clear how such a narrow dating is arrived at, as another petition by the same petitioner is considerably later (Rot. Parl., vol. II, p.215b (no.42)), though the petition is likely to be after 1327 as it refers to the quarrel of Thomas of Lancaster. It is not clear whether the dating of this petition, with the group of petitions from 153/7641-9, is justified.
