Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition has been somewhat speculatively dated to? 1327-? 1340 as seems likely that the references to the actions of the king's grandfather refer back to the time of Edward I, and this petition dates to early Edward III before Edward III assumed the title of king of France.
