Note (Additional information about the record)
- The events referred to in the petition took place in the autumn of the king's eighth year, and the handwriting would suggest the reign of Edward II (i.e. 1314). The parties involved in a later legal case, noted in the London Letter Books, appear to have referred back to this case as precedent, noting that it was heard in Hilary term 9 Edward II (1316) (Calendar of London Letter Books, E, p.91). As the petitioner makes no mention of any hearing, the petition presumably dates to some point between the events of autumn 1314 and the 1316 case.
