Note (Additional information about the record)
- An order to the escheator to hold an inquest into this matter was issued on 22 November 1298. Although that order appears to refer to a petition from Henry, it seems unlikely that this is that petition, as it contains far fewer details than the order (which explains that the problem was caused by the lands being in the king's hands during the minority of Henry's grandson, details presumably taken from the original request). The endorsement here also appears to grant the request, rather than the inquisition which the escheator was ordered to carry out, suggesting that this petition forms a slightly stage in this process.
