Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition has an apparently contemporary additional note below the petition which dates the petition to the parliament held at Westminster in the quinzene of the Purification, 17 Edward II, thus dating the petition to February 1324. As it is very unusual to have such a note entered on a petition, it is not clear whether this was added to a later copy of the petition submitted with a later petition, where such a note would have value to those considering the later request, or whether this is just an unusual addendum to a petition from that parliament.
