Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1298-c. 1307 as the petition itself twice refers to events in 1298, and Walter Langton still seems to have been treasurer at the time, though it is possible that the petition is very early Edward II when Langton remained treasurer in name, but had effectively been removed as he fell from favour at the beginning of the new reign.
