Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1314-c. 1322 as the petition clearly refers to a time when English fortunes in Scotland and in northern England were not good. It is likely that the petition dates to later in this period, perhaps 1318 onwards, though munitioning Prudhoe castle was already presenting problems in 1315 [CPR 1313-17, pp.398-400].
