Note (Additional information about the record)
- The guard note seems to misdate this petition to c. 1324 on the basis of the licence granted to Ingham to grant the manors to the bishop (CPR 1321-4, p.395). As the petition makes clear, the petitioner was forced to do this, and then was out of the country in the king's service, so that the petition is likely to be some little time after this. Indeed, as the petition is so openly critical of the bishop of Exeter, it seems likely that the petition actually dates to 1327 or thereafter following the murder of the bishop in 1326.
