Note (Additional information about the record)
- Dated on the guard to c. 1327, with reference to another related petition. A number of seemingly related petitions and other documents survive from Jonestone, while the reference to 25 years service to the king, his father and grandfather, coupled with the handwriting, would seem to suggest a date early in the reign of Edward III. Jonestone was active as keeper of the processes in the court of France for many years, and a number of petitions survive from him from the early years of Edward III's reign, requesting to be replaced, and he was replaced in 1335.
