Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to 1322 as another petition by the same petitioner on the same matter refers to an earlier request made at the parliament held at York upon which an inquisition was ordered, which is presumably a reference to this petition and response (SC 8/74/3658). In addition, both petitions concern lands forfeited by Bartholomew de Badlesmere, which again identifies this as a petition of 1322.
