Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1322 as it appears to refer to the grant of the lands of the Templars to the Hospitallers, made in England in 1313, and is clearly after the defeat of Thomas of Lancaster and the other baronial rebels in March 1322 by the reference to forfeited lands.
