King and council.

Note
The petition is dated to? 1305 on the basis of the guard note which links this to the endorsements on the preceding and following petitions (SC 8/346/E1375 & E1377). The endorsement on the following petition (SC 8/346/E1377) is identical, so that it seems likely that they are contemporary. However, the endorsement on SC 8/346/E1375 is not identical, though in a similar vein, but the hands are different. The dating of? 1305 is on the basis of SC 8/346/E1375, so must be considered carefully. However SC 8/346/E1377 refers to that petitioners service in the war with France in Gascony between 1294-1298, and then to his service in the Scottish war, so that that petition would seem to be dated to? 1305 or thereabouts.
