Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? 1335 in accordance with the suggested dating given in the guard note. However, the foundations for this are not entirely clear as they seem to be based on references in inquisition and close roll references whose relationship to the petition if any is unclear so that the date needs to be considered with some care (CCR 1333-7, p.565; CIM 1307-49, no.1452).
