Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to 1299-1300 because it seems likely that the petition dates to the period of vacancy in the see of York after the death of Archbishop Henry Newark in August 1299, and the delivery of the temporalities of the see to his successor, Thomas Corbridge. In addition, entries in the patent rolls suggest that the problem of pollard and crockard coins was very current in that period (CPR 1292-1301, pp. 435, 510-1).
