Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1317-c. 1330 because the petition refers to the goods being taken from them at the time the king held his parliament at Nottingham, and parliaments were held there in July 1317 and October 1330. It seems likely from the hand that the former is the more likely of the two parliaments, especially as the 1330 parliament does not seem to have been a full parliament with elected representatives.
