Note
The petition is dated to c. 1310-c. 1322 as the petition is clearly of Edward II's reign and can be no later than 1322 when the earl was executed. It seems likely from the dating of many of the other petitions in this file that this petition dates to c. 1318 and is part of an original file that began at the end of file 318.
