Note (Additional information about the record)
- The document is dated to 1317 on the basis of the dating given by Constance Fraser (Northern Petitions, p.62). The note attached to SC 8/317/E276 and Fraser's discussion of the two documents points to the discrepancy in the internal evidence as to the dating of the petitions, but it seems likely that they are contemporary and refer to the same events.
