[King.]

People mentioned
Edward, King of England.
Note
The mention of King Edward, father of the present king clearly dates the petition to some point during the reign of Edward II or Edward III, while the handwriting would suggest a date in the first half of the fourteenth century. Too little remains legible for further precision to be possible.
