Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1327, with reference to CFR 1319-27, p. 382, a 1326 grant for life by Edward II to Felton of the castle of Lyonshall, in the king's hand as an escheat by the forfeiture of William Tuchet late the king's enemy and rebel, to hold to the value of £40 annually. It also states that if the king provides Felton with £40 of land elsewhere, the king may resume the castle into his hand. The petition must therefore date to early in the reign of Edward III.
