Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1300-1324 as it is stated in the petition that John of Halton was bishop of Carlisle at that time and he held that office from 1292-1324, though the hand would indicate an early fourteenth century petition. It is quite possible that the petition actually dates to c. 1318 like many of the other petitions in this file, and forms part of an original file which is found in the last few petitions of file 318 and this file.
