- The petition is dated to c. 1316-c. 1318 as Waldeshef was no longer butler by August 1316 when allowances were being made on his account, and in 1318 the petitioner appears regularly in the patent rolls in connection with sums due to him [CCR 1313-18, p.362; CPR 1317-21, pp.117, 162, 198]. There is a strong possibility that the petition dates to 1318.
