Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to 1348 as the privy seal warrant with which it was formerly enclosed dates to 22 February 1348 [22 Edw. III] (C 81/328/19299). William de Warenne's successor as prior was appointed in 1348, and the petition appears to be in the aftermath of Warenne's election and subsequent attempts to obtain dispensation for his illegitimacy (The Heads of Religious Houses, II, pp.224-5). The petition also seems to be after the death of the last Warenne earl in 1348, as the petitioner's interest in Castle Acre Priory only came as heir to Warenne.
