Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated by Rot. Parl. II, p.13 to 1328. The endorsement would seem to suggest that it slightly post-dates another petition on this matter at SC 8/10/499, although it can be no later than November 1328, when George de Meriet died (CIPM, vol. VII, no.150).
