Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1310-c. 1324 as this petition was clearly presented in response to the growing depredations due to the Scottish war. The petitioner is seemingly a Northumbrian, and the northern counties bore the brunt of the Scottish raids. It seems likely from the dating of many of the other petitions in this file that this petition dates to c. 1318 and may be part of an original file that began at the end of file 318.
