Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is speculatively dated to 1290-1300 based on the hand. The guard note dates this petition to? 1295 based on the dating of the preceding petition, and though it is quite possible that these and many others of this file date to around this time, there is no clear evidence to support the assignment of this narrow date.
