Note (Additional information about the record)
- Roger Northburgh was Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield from 1322 to 1358, and Keeper of the Wardrobe from 1316 to 1322. As the petitioner was the executor of the Earl of Angus, this petition would seem to concern a debt owed to him in the wardrobe from Northburgh's time - as it mentions this as being in the time of the king's father, it would seem to date from the early years of Edward III.CCR 1318-23 p.375 is dated 20 May 1321. Gilbert de Babington is also mentioned in CPR 1321-4 p.241, in a document dated 12 February 1323.
