Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1307 on the basis of the presence of a Latin translation of this petition on the parliament roll for the parliament held at Carlisle in Hillary 1307 (Rot. Parl. Vol. I, p.195a; PROME, Vetus Codex 1307, appendix, no.37). This matches well with the conjectured date for the petition based on the inquisition post mortem of Hubert de Multon where his bastard son is given as 14 in July 1300, he being only able to claim his alleged inheritance c. 1307 (CIPM, vol. III, no.594).
