The present king commanded the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer to make allowance to Welleby's father but before he received it he died and the sum is now on demand upon him.

Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1307 as it is clearly relatively early in Edward II's reign, the petition referring to a command by Edward II to the treasurer and barons of the Exchequer to make allowance to the petitioner's father, but the father dieing before this could be done, and it seems unlikely that the petitioner would have waited long to submit the petition.
