Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition dates to c. 1316 when the original grant of the annuity and robes was made to the petitioner (CPR 1313-17, p.621). It is possible that a subsequent grant in 1319 may represent a response to the petition, though its wording seems at odds with the request made in the petition (CPR 1317-21, p.337).
