Note (Additional information about the record)
- Since no substantive elements of the petition remain in the extant portion, it is extremely difficult to date this petition. The use of French in the endorsement suggests a date after 1322, and the hand of the petition itself suggests that it cannot be later than the mid-fourteenth century. A note on the guard associates it with the minority regime of Edward III, but the link is tenuous.
