Note (Additional information about the record)
- The dating of this petition presents some problems. The secret seal warrant with which the petition was apparently enclosed dates to 18 April 1337 [11 Edw. III], but there is an enrolled pardon on the patent rolls that appears to pardon the petitioner for what is requested in the petition, but which dates to 20 April 1334 (C 81/1330/40; CPR 1334-8, p.41). The date of? 1337 has been adopted based on the dating of the secret seal warrant.
