Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is speculatively dated to? 1310-? 1330 on the basis of the hand. A Henry the Almoner, probably Henry de Bluntesdon, held the prebendary of Kentish Town in the late-thirteenth or early-fourteenth century, but this may be too early as Bluntesdon's successor in the prebendary was replaced in 1315, and the petition appears to date from slightly later.
