Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? c. 1320 on the basis of a reference to the petitioner in the Gascon rolls and noted in the guard notes (C 61/33, m.7d). However, this reference has no relevance to this petition, so its use for dating this petitioner is very suspect, and the subject matter would tend to suggest a date either after the war of St Sardos or in the early part of the Hundred Years War.
