Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1299-1307 as the petition refers to an eyre held at Cambridge in the present king's reign, and the last eyre there was held in 1299, and before that in 1286 (Records of the General Eyre, p. 52). The hand of the petition suggests a date late in Edward I, so that the petition must date to after the last eyre and before the end of the reign.
