Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1309 as the petitioner was granted a pardon for his failure to appear before the justices of oyer and terminer to answer concerning this death (CPR 1307-13, p. 156). The petition appears to be requesting a pardon for the death, and not for the non-appearance, so although it seems unlikely that the petition and pardon are very in different in date, the pardon does not appear to be in response to the petition itself.
