Nature of endorsement
Coram rege et toto consilio.2) He should sue before the justices . . . [the remainder is illegible or missing].
s not improbable, and the response is in Latin which would suggest a date before 1322.
Note
The petition is dated speculatively to 1320 on the basis of the dating of other petitions in this file, though no date was ascribed to this petition on the guard. As the contents clearly refer to the Scottish wars such a date is not improbable, and the response is in Latin which would suggest a date before 1322.
