Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1316 as it seems likely that Staveleye left for England at this time as the Scots threatened attacks on Dublin in early 1316 and 1317. It is possible that the petition may date to as late as late 1318 when Edward Bruce was finally defeated at Fochart near Dundalk.
