Note (Additional information about the record)
- Edmund is known to have sought payment of the outstanding arrears of Henry III's grant in 1275 (Complete Peerage, VII, p.383 & note e). The reference to the king's coronation clearly dates the petition to some point after Edward I's return to England in 1274, while the reference to Edmund's stewardship of the Ferrers estates would also be consistent with this date.
