Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1294-c. 1300 as the petition is very much concerned with vacancies in the archbishopric of Dublin, as there was a lengthy period of vacancy and problematic elections during this period, with only one consecrated archbishop during that time - William Hotham - and he being consecrated in November 1297, and dying in August 1298. In addition, the petition refers to the queen, the king's mother, and this sort of reference seems likely to refer to Eleanor of Provence, Edward I's mother, rather than Eleanor of Castile, Edward II's mother.
