Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1307 as the petition seems likely to date to the early years of Edward II. Rees suggests that this petition was presented shortly after the fall of Edward II, but it seems more likely that it was presented much earlier in Edward II's reign and that the late king is Edward I and not Edward II as Langton was Edward I's treasurer and only remained very briefly in office under Edward II (Petitions Relating to Wales, p.458).
