Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to? c. 1301 as the petition appears to refer to events after Edward I created Edward of Caernarfon as prince of Wales and earl of Chester which occurred on 7 February 1301. It is possible that the petition dates more closely to a another group of petitions relating to this matter that appear to date to c. 1316, and that the grant referred to in the petition is to that of Edward II to the future Edward III, but the hand and the dating of surrounding petitions suggests the earlier date (SC 8/62/3093-8). Rees opts for the later date suggesting 1314-15, and the guard note suggests an earlier date of? c. 1293 (Petitions Relating to Wales, pp.508-9). Robert de Mohaut received livery of his estates in 1297 and died in December 1329 which does not help narrow the date.
