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 is therefore given a tentative date of 1305. Malcolm Vale discusses this petition on p.219 and p.225 of The Angevin Legacy and the Hundred Years War, 1250-1340 (Oxford 1990).
