Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition refers to the late king and to Edmund of Woodstock, earl of Kent so is clearly early in the reign of Edward III. The reference to the earl of Kent suggests that the earl may not be dead, so it is possible that this petition dates to just before 1330.
