Note (Additional information about the record)
- The writs for the inquisitions post mortem for John Destouteville (CIPM, vol. VI no. 417) are dated 22 November 16 Edward II (1322). The petition seems to suggest that John's death took place during the reign of the current king, and would therefore seem to date from between then and the end of the reign. CCR 1323-7 p.86 is dated 1 April 1324, and mentions that the wardship of the lands during the minority has been granted to Thomas Wake. CFR 1327-37 p.85 is dated 5 March 1328, and is perhaps in response to a later petition on the same lines as this one (perhaps SC 8/71/3538). CFR 1327-37 p.88 is dated 29 April 1328, and p.252 is dated 30 May 1331. CCR 1327-30 p.127 is dated 18 May 1327.
