Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated on the guard to c. 1307 on the basis of the reference within the petition to a petition presented at Northampton at the last parliament, the parliament being held there in October 1327. However, this seems to be erroneous. If this is a parliamentary petition it is likely to be one of those presented to the York parliament of July 1328, three months after the Northampton parliament. This is likely because of the second response which is one found on several petitions of c. 1328 whereby the petition is directed to Richard Bury, a close adviser of Edward III and later bishop of Durham.
