Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1312 as it refers to Piers Gaveston, earl of Cornwall, and the reference makes it clear that it is after his death in 1312, but it seems likely that the petition is not long after his death especially with the dating of SC 8/318/E299 and E324. In addition, an entry in the close rolls referring to the petitioner in possession of the castle dates to 20 March 1312 (CCR 1307-13, p. 454).
