- Dated on the guard to c. 1327, with reference to SC 8/200/9989, another petition from this petitioner relating to his inheritance from Edmund Deincourt. The inquisitions post mortem following Edmund Deincourt's death were held in January 1327, when William was already over 26 years old, and thus presumably both petitions were submitted in the next few months or years.
