Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1308-c. 1327 as the petition is clearly of Edward II's reign by internal references, and after 1308 when John de Craucombe, one of the prebendaries mentioned in the petition, died, internal evidence revealing that he had died and been succeeded by other canons. The guard note suggests c. 1315, but on what basis is unclear.
