Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? c. 1316 on the basis of an inspeximus and confirmation of royal charters granted to St Paul's on 6 February 1316. However, the date must be considered with a great deal of care, as the petition requests the confirmation of charters by the people, bishops and canons, and no mention is made to royal charters, so that it seems that the confirmation in the charter rolls is not in response to the petition. That being said, the hand is not inconsistent with a petition of around that date.
