Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1312 as the petitioner was granted the £20 annuity on 23 January 1312 (CPR 1307-13, p.414). However, this was shortly followed by an order to the abbot of Kirkstall to cease paying the petitioner, so that it is possible that the petition does date to 1312 itself, though it is not clear why the abbot was so ordered, or whether the petition is of a later date (CCR 1307-13, p.403).
