Note (Additional information about the record)
- The petition is dated to c. 1324 as it seems to be part of a file of petitions and other documents that dates to this time. The petitioners received their commission to collect the tenth and sixth in Norfolk on 2 December 1322 (CPR 1321-4, p. 225).Although a note that precedes SC 8/346/E1392 states that petitions SC 8/346/E1392-E1399 are probably the remains of a file dating to c. 1324, the dating of SC 8/346/E1396 to 1308-c. 1320 may indicate that the attribution of these files to a putative file of c. 1324 is incorrect. It is unclear whether E1396 is a stray amongst other petitions that do belong to a file of c. 1324, or whether this group of files should be individually dated and do not in fact belong to a file of c. 1324. However, for most of these petitions there is little to indicate a problem with the dating of c. 1324.
