Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition probably dates to 1299 as the charter was granted on 1 April 1299 (CChR 1257-1300, p.476). However, there are other similar petitions by the same petitioners, and it is not clear whether these are contemporary, and whether the charter was issued in response to this particular petition.
