Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petitioner was granted the scrivenership of Saintonge, currently in the hands of the French, on 21 June 14 Edward III (1340) (m.16 of C 61/52). This may well be in response to this petition, which would seem to date from before 1340, but after the outbreak of the Hundred Years War.
