Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition is very similar to SC 8/164/8163, which is dated 1331, and would seem to be from around the same time. It must in any case date from before the death of John XXII in December 1334. The transcript of the bull with which it is enclosed (SC 7/64/42) is dated 17 September [1317]. CCR 1330-3 p.466 is dated 26 May 1332. CCR 1333-7 p.265 is dated 1 October 1334 and p.309 is dated 10 April 1334. It is uncertain whether any of these is the result of this particular petition.
