Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition clearly dates to after the fall of Edward II as it refers to events in later 1326 when Edward II was trying to rally support for his collapsing regime, and to events after the fall as the petitioner has clearly been entrusted with the custody of land of one of Edward II's loyalists with reference to Queen Isabella.
