Note (Additional information about the record)
- SC 8/33/1630 and SC 8/33/1632, apparently from the same petitioner, are requests for payment for a much larger debt dating from the time of the late king. A writ to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer of Ireland to pay Besaz from the customs of Dublin and Drogheda, dated 8 June 1315, can be found on p.184 of CCR 1313-18, and another petition on the same subject was answered in the parliament of October 1318 (Docs. Illus. English History, p.45). A date in the reign of Edward II, and possibly between 1307 and 1320, would agree with the hand and language of this petition. Check no.166 of C 81/137, which is however from 1 Edward III.
