Note (Additional information about the record)
- From the hand, language, and content, this petition would seem to date from the aftermath of the war of St Sardos. The grant to the petitioner of an annuity and a lump sum on m. 9 of C 61/42 is dated 1 May 1330, and would seem likely to be in response to this petition.
