Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1275-c. 1300 as the petition seems clearly to be in the reign of Edward I judging from the reference to Henry III, and the hand suggests this reign as well. The structures of the petition does not fit the usual formula found later in Edward I's reign, but the hand seems to belong later in the reign.
