Note (Additional information about the record)
- Like SC 8/288/14351, this petition is dealing with the property of alien religious houses, seized into the king's hand during the war with France, and the hand and language would suggest that it is of similar date. This is supported by PROME, Appendix of Unedited Petitions, 1307-1337, Rotuli Parliamentorum I, pp.460-479, which notes that these petitions, with one exception, 'belong to the end of the reign of Edward I, with a heavy concentration in the year 1305'.
