Note (Additional information about the record)
- This petition mentions the suit continuing through the ninth and eleventh reigns of King Edward, 'whom God preserve', and also makes its request for the soul of the king: this is hard to make out, but would normally mean the late king. This, and the hand and language, would suggest a date of 1317-1327 for this petition.
