Note (Additional information about the record)
- A note at the beginning of this file, signed R. L. Atkinson and dated 9 March 1932, states, 'Nos 14511-50 and 14551-80 in the next file appear to form an original file, or at any rate a conjunction of some duration. Such as can be dated appear to belong to the year 1305, or thereabouts, so the remainder may provisionally be regarded as belonging to this date'. This petition has therefore given a provisional date of 1305. Roles Gascons, vol. III no.4669 is dated 26 November 1304, and no.4934 is dated 4 April 1305, but there is no record of a grant of an office to the petitioner. Malcolm Vale discusses this petition on pp.222-223 of The Angevin Legacy and the Hundred Years War, 1250-1340 (Oxford 1990).
