Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to 1307 as an inquisition was held into the matter on 24 June 1307, and as the petition refers to an inquisition held into this matter, it seems likely that the petition dates to the second half of that year especially as the petition refers to Eleanor of Castile as the king's mother (CIM 1219-1307, no.2027).
