Nature of endorsement
[None]
Places mentioned
St Emilion, [Guyenne, France]
Bordeaux diocese, [France]
London.

Note
Dated to the last quarter of the thirteenth century, with reference to the associated petition at SC 8/220/10981, the handwriting and the reference to Henry le Waleis as mayor of London. This petition appears to have been written by the same person as the petition at SC 8/220/10981, and the two were presumably presented together.
