Note (Additional information about the record)
- The original writ was issued on 4 June in the king's tenth year, and the reference to John de Grey (Justiciar of North Wales, February 1315 to November 1316) and the address to his successor Mortimer (Justiciar of North Wales until October 1317, when he became Justiciar of the whole of Wales), dates it to 4 June 1317. However, it is clearly the transcript attached to the petition at SC 8/337/15928, and hence was presumably written some time after that date.
